Bradley Cooper knows what time it is

Big Pilot’s Watch Edition “Le Petit Prince”

This April, IWC Schaffhausen will kick off a worldwide omnichannel advertising campaign with actor, director (and blue-eyed dreamboat) Bradley Cooper. This is the first time that the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer has produced such an extensive on and offline campaign with a single ambassador as the face of the brand. Shot in the searing desert outside Los Angeles, the campaign ticks all the boxes in regard to mythologised modern masculinity – loud motorbikes, fast aeroplanes, searing heat and vintage leather.

The campaign and the mood underscores IWC’s appeal to free-spirited individuals who have no need for borders or limits and are eager to take on life’s challenges. With the Big Pilot’s Watch Edition “Le Petit Prince”, the advertisements also feature one of the most iconic timepieces from the Schaffhausen-based company.

bradley Cooper perfectly embodies IWC’s core values

Bradley Cooper is, quite understandably, thrilled with results of this partnership with IWC: “I have been wearing IWC watches for the past 15 years. When this collaboration was proposed and the idea of the campaign came up, it made sense and I was excited by the creative. I was happy to help bring Christoph’s vision to life.”

With a strong personality and character traits such as a pioneering spirit, confidence and vitality, Cooper perfectly embodies IWC’s core values. “With this campaign, we continue to develop the emotional storytelling around our brand. We could not have imagined a better partner than Bradley to present our high-quality mechanical timepieces, such as our Pilot’s Watches, to a growing and global audience,” explains Christoph Grainger-Herr, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen.

How to manage coarse hair

It’s all about hydration

First things first, if you're lucky enough to be blessed with coarse hair (meaning hair that most likely won't fall out and if managed properly will look thick and luscious) don’t panic. Just as dry skin needs extra attention and moisturisation, so too does coarse, frizzy hair. In short, it’s all about hydration.

1 | Shampooing

In my opinion, the best course of action is to avoid using any harsh, hair-stripping shampoos, as this will only remove the natural oils, which help your hair look and feel less dry.

Instead use an SLS-free Shampoo like Hydrate Shampoo by Pureology. SLS is a foaming agent found in many self-care products, but it is also known to dry-out hair and skin – meaning it’s something which you should avoid.

2 | Conditioning

Once your hair is clean, follow up with a conditioner such as Hydrate Conditioner by Pureology. Do this every day, or every other day.

After conditioning, gently towel-dry if you’re in a rush, though I would suggest letting hair dry naturally if you can. Either way, definitely avoid rubbing your hair to aggressively with a towel and also avoid using the hair dryer, as this will increase dehydration.

3 | Styling

Styling-wise, to achieve a slick, smart look, style your hair with a mix of Fudge Hair Gum and Fudge Gloss Serum – a pea size amount of each product should suffice. This will result in a firm hold, some healthy shine and a super-effective anti-frizz action. Alternatively, if you prefer a matte look, opt for American Crew’s Acumen Grooming Cream.

4 | Treating

For a little extra hydration (it sounds like you need it, Frazzled), go the extra mile and use Marrocanoil’s Intense Hydration Masque once or twice a week. This in addition to all the aforementioned tips will ensure that your hair should become easier to manage within a fortnight or so.

A Love Letter To Hair Conditioner

I’ve just attended a L’Oréal Paris Innovations presentation where they revealed the launches for the first half of 2019. Aside from all the exciting new things coming from their make-up and hair categories next year, some of the research results that have formed their innovations were eye-opening. When looking at how the UK use hair treatments and conditioners, only 11 per cent use hair treatments and a staggering 17 per cent don’t even use conditioner. I know it doesn’t sound like a big percentage, but as someone who can’t live without conditioner and who washes her hair every day which without fail and always includes a big dollop of conditioner, I was surprised.

I can’t tell you just how much I love conditioner and masks and basically any deep-conditioning treatment I can get my hands on. I will stretch to relying on a hotel shampoo but would always, always take my own conditioner. This is largely due to the fact that I would struggle to get a comb through my hair if I just used shampoo and my hair would be so tangled up I would have to resort to having it cut to be able to sort out the knotty mess.

My hair self-tangles by midday if I’m not careful. Scarf season is particularly treacherous. The longer sections of my hair somehow entwining themselves so that it becomes a mass at the nape of my neck. So the prospect of not cocooning my hair in some sort of nourishing, hydrating product is just a big no for me.

I’m one of those people who wonders why conditioner bottles aren’t twice the size of shampoo bottle because I never finish the two at the same time and I like my shampoo and conditioner to match.

In winter I have to use a mask every other day because the lower half of my long hair becomes so dry. I have even started to use a silk pillowcase and plait my hair at night to try and calm the knots. In fact, my conditioning regime is much like a Korean skincare 10-step routine. I’m off to stock up on my favourite conditioners now just to make up for the 17 per cent who don’t need it. Maybe I’m just a little jealous that my hair is so high-maintenance? Here are just some of my hair heroes to keep my tangles in line.

Bradley Cooper’s top tailored looks

The 66th San Sebastian Film Festival, September 2018

Corduroy calling? Yes for Mr. Cooper, who opted to style a rich blue suit by Brunello Cucinelli for the 66th San Sebastian Film Festival back in September. Always a stylist of the staples, Bradley’s navy love affair was affirmed here, paired with a simple white shirt and suede, lace up brogues. Texture expertise? Most definitely, and with the swarming crowds, it’s clearly working. Top tip to take? Embrace this material nod to the seventies through a contemporary stance like Cooper.

Bradley Cooper’s top tailored looks

a star is born

The past few months have been rather big for Bradley Cooper. That’s mainly down to his leading role in A Star is Born – the recent romance drama featuring Lady Gaga that is set to fly high at tomorrow’s Golden Globes.

Cooper plays seasoned musician Jackson Maine in the movie – sporting wild, rugged hair and casual, grungy clothes that set his strong rock-star image. So in cinema, Bradley’s style is synonymous with song. But in life, he frequently goes for gold in suited staples that continually serve him well. Ahead of tonight’s award show in Beverly Hills, and in celebration of Bradley’s birthday (turning 44 today), we’ve sourced his top tailored looks to date. Smart and sophisticated at all times – prepare to take a tip from his dapper outfits this weekend...

Bradley Cooper has had literally every haircut

Bradley Cooper is a man of many haircuts

What I like about working with Bradley is that he always likes different hair looks,” Bradley Cooper’s groomer, Natalia Bruschi, recently shared on Instagram. After looking through photos of Cooper out promoting A Star is Born last year, we can confirm that Bruschi is not messing around. Bradley Cooper might not be much of a style chameleon - the man loves a good blue suit - but he is a man of many haircuts. In one week alone least year, he rifled through them all - hair, locale, and tailoring all in alignment. It’s entertaining, and a good reminder to change things up yourself from time to time. To get the creative juices flowing, here’s a look at Bradley Cooper’s recent hair journey - or, rather, all five of them.

Bradley Cooper has had literally every haircut


Back to Brad	Touchy Feely

Back to Brad

We call this look “true Brad” because it combines everything that’s great about Bradley Cooper’s hair—the spikiness, the volume, the dashing part, the tidy sides—into one handsome look. Unlike the previous style, it’s also the kind of vibe that works as well with flip-flops as it does with Italian tailoring. Not that we’d expect Mr. Cooper himself to be so predictable.

Touchy Feely

A velvet suit calls for an equally touchable hairstyle, that’s just common sense. If this is how Cooper’s hair air dries, he is even luckier than we previously thought. Men of lesser hair gifts, you might try drying your hair with your hands instead of a brush and using a very light hand with product. Let fuzz be fuzz.

Cooper has always had the right haircut for the job

The Inner Life of Bradley Cooper in 13 Haircuts

Until A Star Is Born, Bradley Cooper was most often thought of in the popular imagination as the slick, bouncy-haired What-Happens-in-Vegas asshole with the sleazy stubble from the The Hangover movies ($1 billion worth of people saw them worldwide)—which is a cousin of his other best-known role, the Ivy League asshole from Wedding Crashers, whom Cooper once himself described simply as “a f--king tyrant.” The Bradley Cooper that Lady Gaga meets in A Star Is Born is not one those guys—he’s a sensitive artist, a weathered soul, a dreamer pure of heart—and he has the raspy voice, damp long locks, and a graying beard to match. Over his journey from frat-bro icon to Oscar-contending filmmaker, Cooper has always had the right haircut for the job. But Cooper the person is more complicated than the jerks he is so adept at playing; he certainly wants to be taken more seriously than them. So because, these days, he is somewhat famously unknowable—even in magazine photo shoots he insists on wearing the same wardrobe as his character’s—let’s get to know Bradley Cooper through his haircuts, which are surprising and maybe even revealing in their variety.

Bradley Cooper's Oscars watch is instant auction bait

Cooper paired his classic black tuxedo with a special-edition IWC Big Pilot watch

The best, most valuable watches have fairy tales and action-flick plots baked right into them. The list is long: the long-lost Omega Speedmaster worn by Buzz Aldrin on the moon, the Rolex Daytona Paul Newman gave to his daughter’s then-boyfriend, the Patek Philippe owned by legendary guitarist Eric Clapton. When these watches sell for a bundle at auction, it’s almost always decades in the making, a combination of serendipity and a long timeline that allows the piece’s value to simmer. Watchmaker IWC is well aware of all that - but would rather not wait decades to create a legendary piece. What if you give a watch killer provenance in a single night?

That’s what happened on Sunday. If you spotted Bradley Cooper on the Oscars red carpet this weekend or watched his, uh, stirring performance of “Shallow” with Lady Gaga, you may have noticed the actor/director’s watch. (OK, maybe you noticed some other things first.) For the ceremony, Cooper paired his classic black tuxedo with a special-edition IWC Big Pilot watch with a navy blue dial and red-gold case. There’s even an engraving on the back from the book The Little Prince: "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly." (IWC makes an entire line of Le Petit Prince watches.) If you saw the watch on Coop’s wrist and wondered how to get your hands on it, you’re in luck: the watch went immediately from red carpet to Sotheby’s auction room.

Cooper, who became an IWC ambassador last year, coordinated with the brand to wear the watch to the Oscars for the express purpose of auctioning it off for charity. This is not uncommon - watch houses typically create special-edition pieces for charity auctions - but giving this Big Pilot the ride of its life on Cooper’s wrist to Hollywood’s biggest night adds an extra wrinkle. Basically, IWC gave the piece all the elements it needs to crush at auction.

A watch’s value comes down to a long list of factors - the intricacy of the mechanics, the scarcity, materials used, condition - but nothing sends a piece’s value soaring like a great story. That Paul Newman Daytona, the most expensive wristwatch ever moved at auction, isn’t worth $17.8 million without its relationship to the Hollywood legend. And if collectors are after watches that tell a story, how much better does it get than an instant-classic performance at the Oscars?

Online bidding for Cooper’s IWC Big Pilot watch is already heating up. The price started at $16,000 and was estimated to finish somewhere between $20,000 to $30,000. With almost a full week left until the auction closes on March 4th, the bidding is already up to $38,000. We are far from the shallow now.

How Bradley Cooper Made Magic with A Star Is Born	Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper - Shallow, A Star Is Born

“Really, he was like Houdini.”

The Star Is Born actress marveled at Cooper’s ability to be both exacting director and self-destructing musician on set: “Really, he was like Houdini.”

“The more personal you make something, the more chance it has to connect with and be received by people

Before he began the first take of the first scene of his A Star Is Born remake, Bradley Cooper was absolutely certain of one thing: “The more personal you make something, the more chance it has to connect with and be received by people.

“Isn’t that what we’re always looking for? Someone to actually stand up and talk to you?” Cooper said on Monday night, after a Screen Actors Guild screening of his critically acclaimed film. “You’re compelled to listen when it’s authentic. That’s all we were trying to do this whole time.”

You’re compelled to listen when it’s authentic

Cooper took this mission so seriously that he and co-screenwriters Eric Roth and Will Fetters pulled biographical details from his, co-star Lady Gaga’s, and Sam Elliott’s own backstories, weaving them into the script so that the actors felt tethered to truth. For Lady Gaga, this meant recalling early-career insecurities and performances in drag bars. For Elliott, who played Jackson’s brother, this meant having long conversations with Cooper about their families. Speaking at a post-screening Q&A moderated by Vanity Fair Executive West Coast Editor Krista Smith, Elliott said of those early conversations, “We talked about our moms, things that were dear to us.”

For Cooper, who has been sober for almost 15 years,

For Cooper, who has been sober for almost 15 years, this meant channeling his own addiction past to play a musician overcome by emotional pain and demons. Cooper’s quest for authenticity required the first-time filmmaker to clear other hurdles—like playing the guitar, singing, and performing live for surprised audience members during actual music festivals like Glastonbury. But the scenes in which Jackson plumbed the depths of addiction—picking a drunken fight with Ally, for example—were more frightening for Cooper than any concert scenario.

It really did feel real, which is all we try to do

“I was terrified to know that we both were going to have to go to this place, specifically Jackson, and what he was going to have to provoke in [Ally],” Cooper explained of the couple’s fight, which precedes the film’s tragic climax. “Oddly enough, she provoked it in him when she brought up his dad, which really allowed me as Jackson to firmly embrace how dark I wanted to go as him. That’s only because she risked saying that and I felt it. I felt the risk of what she knew that meant to him, how much she was hurting him in that moment. It really did feel real, which is all we try to do. . . . I know as an actor that’s what I’m always looking for, so that’s all I tried to create, an environment where everybody is talking to each other and risking everything.”

Lady Gaga said she was impressed by the way Cooper managed to embody this self-destructing musician while simultaneously maintaining complete control as director. “It was like a magic trick for us . . . really, he was like Houdini.”

you have to completely trust your director

“We’re having this extremely emotional, awful conversation with each other and—at the same time—you have to completely trust your director. In a moment where I’m almost untrusting of him and angry with him and insulted by him, I’m also, in the back of my mind, in the space of comfort, in the space of love,” said Gaga. “What was very special about that scene, for me anyways, was the themes of alcoholism and the theme of co-dependency and addiction—that is something that has affected me in my life. To share that with him was very, very special to me. He really honored that. It’s an interesting thing to feel afraid and yet unafraid at the same time. I felt that way the whole time we filmed. That is a very heavy scene, but I will say that sense of vulnerability I felt this entire time we were filming, it was that exact thing—fear, but no fear.”

But it wasn’t just the way that Cooper summoned Jackson’s unspoken pain for that scene.

and then immediately shift into director mode

“To see Bradley get out, perform that beat, shut the door”—and then immediately shift into director mode—“and pick up a monitor, walk around to the front of the truck . . . I’m there like, ‘What the fuck, man? I’m still in the scene.’ . . . It was a really incredible moment for me to see Bradley-actor [switch into] Bradley-director. We did two takes of that.”

Lady Gaga interjected, “Isn’t it amazing in that scene—there’s so much that is said, but it’s also what’s unsaid that really grabs you. If a man can make you cry backing up a pickup truck . . .”

Clint was literally right next to the camera [talking me through it]

Even for scenes in A Star Is Born where Cooper’s character was not present, the first-time filmmaker said he insisted on physically being within arm’s reach for each of his actors. On previous projects, he felt most comfortable when filmmakers like David O. Russell and Clint Eastwood opted to sit with him rather than in video village, watching from a distance behind a set of monitors with a pack of producers. “I always remember on American Sniper, the very tight shot with a very horrific moment, Clint was literally right next to the camera [talking me through it]. When the director is actually right there, it feels as if—and that’s what I try to do—it feels like you’re not alone risking it, that the director is right there with you and has just as much to lose. I completely took that, because I know as an actor, if the director is right here, and I feel it, I’m going to be much more willing to risk.”

A Star Is Born is a career highlight for Bradley Cooper

a star is born

There were many ways for A Star Is Born to fail. It’s the fourth version of a 1930s story that is mostly remembered for a campy 1970s Barbra Streisand incarnation. It’s Bradley Cooper’s first go at directing. It’s the lead debut of Lady Gaga, a global pop star but an actress of no renown. It fails on no counts. Cooper is not only up to the task, but one of the most naturally skilled directors we’ve seen in quite a while.

The plot of A Star Is Born is pure melodrama. Cooper is Jackson Maine, a country music star who plays to sell-out crowds but is clearly in the "just do the hits" stage of his career. He’s also a drug addict and alcoholic. One night, during a fateful stumble into a drag bar looking for one more one last drink, Jackson witnesses a performance by Ally (Lady Gaga), a waitress who can sing like nobody’s business but doesn’t believe she has the star quality to make it. Jackson insists otherwise. They flirt, fall quickly in love and he nudges her towards superstardom. As her career soars, his dips. Will their love weather the storm of their clashing careers?

If that all sounds very breathless and a recipe for screaming matches, big flounces and scenes of much weeping, that is not how Cooper has chosen to play it. He doesn’t overdo anything. He believes his story and makes us believe it too. He directs much of it like a concert film, the camera sweeping around looking for the little details you might miss if you were trying to take in the whole picture. He’d rather linger too little than too long on an emotional beat. Cooper seems to have taken some influence from David O. Russell – his director on Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle – in the close-up intimacy of his talky scenes and an interest in the domestic shabbiness of glamorous people.

The plot of A Star Is Born is pure melodrama

Cooper is a fabulous director of actors

Cooper is a fabulous director of actors, not least himself, giving one of the quietist, most affecting performances of his career. Much of the attention on the film will go to Gaga, who quickly stamps on any belief that this is a vanity project for her, playing herself as the wannabe repeatedly told no who eventually insists yes. She never plays her own stage persona, even in the concert scenes. Gaga gives Ally a fierce normality and makes her a woman who never acts the star, even when she becomes one. This is not a better than you’d expect performance. It is a superb turn by any measure.

Cooper has, wisely, dialled back some of the story’s iffy message that a woman needs a man to show her she can be great. Though Jackson helps Ally believe in herself, she steers her own career, ignoring his outdated beliefs that "real music" means standing still with a guitar. Anyway, Jackson's musical snobbishness is a bit rich for a man who is still cashing in on a hit he despises.

It is rare to see a debuting actor-turned-director who isn’t trying to "put their stamp" on their work, to make you notice them as a film-maker with little tricks and fussy framing. What makes Cooper so good is that he directs in a way that encourages you not to see what he is doing, but what is happening. Character above all. It’s the mark of a great storyteller. It’s the birth of a star director.

Bradley Cooper on Making A Star Is Born, Against the Odds

Bradley Cooper was only vaguely aware of Lady Gaga

"I didn’t really know who she was,”

Before he cast her in his thrilling and resonant version of A Star Is Born, the fourth incarnation of the classic cinematic tale of doomed romance, Bradley Cooper was only vaguely aware of Lady Gaga. “I didn’t really know who she was,” Cooper told me at 8:30 in the morning at a restaurant in downtown Manhattan this past summer. In his uniform of jeans and a navy zip-up sweatshirt, Cooper was energized well before his coffee arrived; he is a morning person and had been up for hours. He and his longtime girlfriend, the model Irina Shayk, and their baby daughter, Lea, recently moved from Los Angeles to New York, and for days Cooper had barely moved from our cozy table, scheduling all his meetings there. “It’s become my office,” he said, laughing.

he has always had a kind of contagious, boundless, puppy like enthusiasm for all aspects of his profession

I have known Cooper, who is 43, since his Academy Award–nominated performance in the 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook, and he has always had a kind of contagious, boundless, puppylike enthusiasm for all aspects of his profession. But this morning there was a different level of engagement. Cooper directed A Star Is Born, cowrote the script and several of the songs in the movie, and oversaw every detail of the production. He even learned to sing and speak like a country-rock music star, lowering his vocal register an octave to sound raspy and worn. From the beginning of his professional acting career, Cooper has been intrigued by more than whatever character he’s playing, and there was a sense that his ambitious dreams were coming true with this movie.

Cooper calls her Stefani Germanotta

Which brings us back to Lady Gaga, or, as Cooper calls her, Stefani. (Her given name is Stefani Germanotta.) “I was at a cancer benefit with my mother,” Cooper recalled. “I really did not know Lady Gaga’s music. They had a surprise musical guest, and Stefani came out with her hair slicked back, and she sang ‘La Vie en Rose.’ I was blown away, like in that old Maxell cassette commercial where the guy’s hair is blown back.” Cooper saw her not as a world-famous star but as a stripped-down woman, and immediately envisioned her as his leading lady. “I called her agent the next day and said, ‘Can I go to her house and meet her right away?’ I drove to Malibu, and we sat on her porch, and the next thing I know, I’m eating spaghetti and meatballs, and I said, ‘Can we sing a song together?’ ”

Gaga has turned it into a bluesy, Janis Joplin–esque anthem.

The video is fascinating: As they begin to sing, Cooper looks nervous, and Gaga, with short bleached blonde hair, seems confident but wary. “It’s awkward,” Cooper admitted. But after one verse, Gaga stops singing and stares at Cooper. “Has anyone heard you sing?” she asks. The acknowledgement of Cooper’s raw talent seems to embolden him. They start to harmonize on the chorus, and by the end of the song, Gaga has turned it into a bluesy, Janis Joplin–esque anthem.

the plutonium in A Star Is Born is Stefani’s voice.”.

As the clip ended, Cooper looked at the screen. “I was so happy at that moment,” he said. “I’m from an Italian background, and so is she. We were immediately comfortable with each other. We made a kind of deal: I believed in her as an actress, and she believed in me as a musician. I wanted there to be a meta aspect to the film, and Stefani gave me that. Also, no actress can do musically what I needed Stefani to do in 42 days of shooting: I needed plutonium. And the plutonium in A Star Is Born is Stefani’s voice.”

Saying no to Clint Eastwood was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

Cooper, in fact, had been thinking about A Star Is Born for some time. Clint Eastwood, one of his mentors, had suggested that he star in a remake he was considering. “That was five years ago. I was 38 at the time, and I felt I was too young for the part,” Cooper explained. “Pretending I’d lived more than I had wouldn’t have worked. Saying no to Clint Eastwood was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I had put myself on tape for every Eastwood film. He was my hero!”

In 2014, Eastwood and Cooper worked together on American Sniper

In 2014, Eastwood and Cooper worked together on American Sniper, which made over $500 million at the box office and garnered Cooper his second Academy Award nomination for best actor in a leading role. He followed up with The Elephant Man, the play that had inspired him to become an actor when he was a child. “I saw the film adaptation of The Elephant Man when I was 12,” Cooper recalled. “That story changed me. It stayed on my skin and left an indelible mark. That’s when I consciously thought, I want to do this job.”

I said to Clint, ‘Let’s do A Star Is Born.’

During the promotion for American Sniper, Eastwood and Cooper were at an industry event at the Chateau Marmont hotel, in Los Angeles, where Annie Lennox was performing “I Put a Spell on You,” her song from the 2015 film 50 Shades of Grey. Cooper was mesmerized. “As she sang, I saw the veins in her neck pop, and I said to Clint, ‘Let’s do A Star Is Born.’ He replied, ‘That ship has sailed.’ I went to bed that night and saw the whole beginning of the movie in my mind, and I knew I had to direct it.”

In 2014, Eastwood and Cooper worked together on American Sniper

Cooper grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and was in awe of his father, a stockbroker who had lung cancer for five years before he died, in January 2011. “I wanted to be my father,” Cooper told me. “When I was 8 years old, I wore suits to school and carried a briefcase.” He now wears his father’s gold wedding band on a chain around his neck, and his memory seems to motivate Cooper in some unconscious way: He has an intuitive feeling that time is short and there’s a lot to accomplish. Sometimes, that sense of carpe diem means that Cooper seems to be in the right place at the right time (yes, that was him sitting next to the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles when the team won the Super Bowl last February). And although he won’t go into specifics, it also clearly means that he has a plan for the future that involves a lot more than acting. “I always thought I had six characters in me, and I’ve already played a few of them,” he said. “I’ve been a soldier [American Sniper], a musician [A Star Is Born], a chef [Burnt], and a disfigured person [The Elephant Man]. I still want to play a conductor. And then who knows?”

Cooper paused. “I’ve always been an underdog,”

Cooper paused. “I’ve always been an underdog,” he said. “I was always operating under the lens of not really being seen as the ‘main guy.’ ” I suggested that after A Star Is Born, it would be impossible for anyone to underestimate him again. “Maybe,” he said, smiling slightly. “But who knows? I’ve heard it all in my career. Early on, I didn’t get a role because they said I wasn’t ‘fuckable.’ ” He paused again. “In the end, you have to reserve your attention for the work and not listen to anyone. People I care about, who care about me, told me not to direct A Star Is Born, said that it would be too difficult and I should start with something easier. Luckily, I didn’t listen. I loved that it was really, really hard to make this film. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have the same value. And that’s always been my goal: to make something, no matter how challenging, that will be remembered.”
