Civil war : the return of Kirsten Dunst and Alex Garland
More than two years after being excellent The power of the dog (2021), which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 2022, Kirsten Dunst will make its return to screens with Civil war. Alex Garland’s new feature film is one of the most anticipated films of this year. The director and screenwriter revealed himself behind the camera with Ex machina (2014), had left its mark Men (2022), a horrible and feminist journey. And her new work should once again be talked about.
Scheduled for release on April 24 in France, the feature film is set in the near future, when A civil war breaks out in the United States. As the fighting intensifies in the country, a team of journalists travels across the country to continue reporting on the events. But between the dictatorial government and the extremist militias who do not hesitate to use force, danger is everywhere.
Through this story, Alex Garland will continue to terrify us by introducing himself a plausible and realistic situation (at least we assume so from the trailers). Recall that on January 6, 2021, hundreds of people stormed the Capitol in Washington DC in support of Donald Trump who had contested the results of the 2020 presidential election. There is no doubt that this event must have inspired Alex Garland to Civil war (although he would have written the script first).
Two weeks of post-traumatic stress
In addition to his topic which promises to be fascinating and worrying, Civil war intrigued by what Kirsten Dunst said recently. Present in the film together with Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Jesse Plemons and Nick Offerman, the actress was able to discuss the feature film with Marie Claire. We learn it in this article Civil war East “an explosive and graphic filmfull of hyper-realistic battlesKirsten Dunst then had to film violent scenes, including fights and car chases, which had a profound impact on her. Saying “shaken to the core (of herself)“, the actress explains that there was a strange combination between filming explosive sequences and reality.
I remember hearing them repeat an explosion. We were in a hair and makeup trailer, very far from the set, and the whole trailer was shaking. (…) There are so many shootings, then you watch the news and see there’s another school shooting.
This is also what is noticeable Marie Claire who was able to see the film and believes that “Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the Civil War is that it doesn’t seem like it not as far from reality as it should be“. This experience on Civil war it would therefore have been really special for Kirsten Dunst, who also says “he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder for two weeks after filming“.
I remember coming home, having lunch and feeling really empty.
A trauma that would derive from the actress’s involvement in her role, as Alex Garland explains. According to him, Kirsten Dunst would have “let’s live inside the film and we would have felt the reality of these moments“. However, the actress does not regret participating Civil war. In reverse. Absent from the screens for two years, Kirsten Dunst would only receive sad mother roles After The power of the dog. With Alex Garland’s film, she felt she could do something truly new and she accepted it without hesitation.
