Summary

EPISODE 116 - PABLO LARRAÍN - Director

Team Deakins sits down with director Pablo Larraín (JACKIE, NERUDA, NO). He shares with us the experience of his first film flopping and all that he learned from that, as well as the “rules” he sets for each individual film and the power of breaking these rules. He talks about his process, his avoidance of storyboarding, his dislike of multiple cameras, and remembering that films based on actual people are still works of fiction. According to Pablo, “when you are shooting, you’re fighting the script, when you are editing, you are fighting the shoot”. We learn a lot about the production of the movie “Jackie,” the production design, the shooting design, and why he chose to shoot in 16mm film. A fascinating look into the mind and process of a talented director!

1:33.8	The first question we want to ask is how did you get to where you are today? How did you find your
1:40.4	path? Did you go down a different path first or was this something you always wanted to do? Let us
1:46.1	know. Well, you know, I come from a family that it's most of most of them are lawyers and so that's
1:54.4	what I thought I was going to do. I had to prepare myself during high school, last year's school,
2:01.2	to become a lawyer. But then before I entered university, I just, I don't know, something happened
2:10.6	in my life, probably certain movies and certain people that just, I don't know, show me a different
2:18.1	path. And I just realized that I wanted to make movies. But then in my country, there were a few
2:25.5	places to study cinema because of the dictatorship was very hard to find proper cinema schools.
2:32.9	So I ended up in a place that it's not really, it was never really, you know, film school. It was
