Rooney Mara Discusses Berlin Title ‘La Cocina’ With Alonso Ruizpalacios And Shares Update On Her Audrey Hepburn Biopic & Pawel Pawlikowski’s ‘The Island’
‘La Cocina’ debuts this evening at the Berlin Film Festival.
Running just short of two-and-a-half hours, the pic is a complex and formally ambitious tale, perhaps best described as a tragicomedy, set in a deathly busy New York City restaurant called The Grill. Ruizpalacios tells us he was equally passionate about collaborating with Mara and first noticed her unique screen presence during a memorable trip to the cinema in 2011, where he caught David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There have also been questions about the Audrey Hepburn biopic Mara had set up to produce and star in at Apple since Call Me By Your Name filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, who had been attached to direct, revealed in an audience Q&A in London that he was no longer working on the project.
