Nat Talks NYILY

  • Post author:

Here is the second Spanish article about “NY, I Love You”. This one has some nice quotes from Natalie. Below is an excerpt but use the click through to view the full translation.

“There were many problems, but of all the challenges, the most important was the weather: it changed forty times in just two days of shooting! My director of photography, Jean-Louis had a heart attack every three minutes because of it. But our cast including Carlos, who had never acted professionally, Jacinda, who appeared immediately, from Australia, and Taylor, who is six, were perfect, inventive and authentic, they contributed so that the struggle with the weather was much less frightening.”

A young woman wakes up next to nobody. All too aware of this fact, she hugs her pillow. Eventually she gets up and dispassionately goes through her morning routine.

Now dressed up, she approaches the front door. A post it note reads “Today”. She puts a trembling hand on the door knob but she can’t bring herself to turn it. She angrily pulls off the note and scrunches it up, before retreating from the door.

Sarah has not left her house for 7 years. She has not seen another human being for the duration of that time. Every morning she goes to the door with every intention of opening it. But she never does.

Unbeknownst to Sarah, most of her door-to-door deliveries are made by the same guy – a guy who finds himself more and more intruiged by this mysterious woman. (more…)
