Olivia Wilde’s film tells the story of a happy housewife who suddenly discovers flaws in her perfect life.
STATE SPECIAL – Going from a clever comedy about two teenage friends to a dystopian period thriller with action scenes is quite a leap. But that was the way Olivia Wilde made, from his directorial debut in Awesome (2019) in his second feature film, Do not worry dearwhich arrived on Thursday 22nd in Brazil.
The actress, who became a director and screenwriter Katie Silberman he started working on the project during the government of Donald Trump, or “Make America Great Again”, as the former president’s slogan put it. “We wondered what exactly that meant,” Wilde said at a press conference at the Venice Film Festival, where the film was screened out of competition.
Red beret wearers with this lettering have a nostalgia for the 50s and 60s, when white men, heterosexuals, middle classthey had a certain status, which they believe they lost with the achievement of rights by women, people of color and LGBTQ +.
In the story, Alice (Florence Pugh, excellent) is a happy 1950s housewife. She lives in a beautiful house, cooks five-course dinners and is in love with her husband, Jack (Harry Styles), who works on the top secret Project Victory. But it doesn’t take her long to realize that there is something wrong with all this perfection. Do not worry dear it is a fable about the condition of women who get lost in the revelation of their mysteries.
Resignation
The film was, however, devoured by issues that have nothing to do with its quality or lack thereof. A few days before the premiere in Venice, Shia LaBeouf, who allegedly played Jack and has a history of problematic behavior, asked Olivia Wilde to correct the information that she had fired him for his working methods. According to LaBeouf, it was he who asked to leave. The actor leaked text messages and videos in which the director tried to persuade him to stay.
There were also rumors that Wilde, who had started a romance with Styles during filming, had an argument with Florence Pugh, who did not attend the press conference in Venice, only going to the gala session.
All of which meant that the director had to explain herself over and over again. Wednesday evening, 21st, she went to the program The late showin Stefano Colbert, and said his messages to LaBeouf were an attempt to mediate the complicated relationship between the two actors. Who, in the end, ended up opting for Florence Pugh. She also pointed out that none of this would have happened if she had been a man. “Directors are often praised for their tyranny on set,” she concluded. Wrong, it is not.
