The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
Gregg Araki on His New Movie "White Bird in a Blizzard"
The movie focuses on the life of Kat Connors, played by Shailene Woodley, after her mother, played by Eva Green, disappears. “It’s such a weird coincidence—our trailers dropped the same week,” Araki says. “I was flattered and shocked though, because that’s, like, a $60 million David Fincher studio movie, and our little indie movie was being compared to it.” In fact, the difference between the two films is a perfect encapsulation of the gap that exists between traditional Hollywood and the niche that Araki has carved out for himself since he started making films in the late eighties: If Gone Girl is all bombast and big surprises, White Bird is a quiet drama that’s as moody and mottled as the brooding soundtrack of shoegaze, Siouxsie Sioux, and Depeche Mode that scores it.
