So, I would say that maybe I suffered more. My son and my sister are the two closest people to me, in the world. If someone were to hurt my sister, that would be the thing I would have the hardest time forgiving. So, when we created the backstory for Maja, that breaking point in her life came very much out of my own worst nightmare. And I dreamt a lot about my sister, that I’m very close to. I was dreaming really twisted, really dark, really horrible dreams about Maja’s past. I was working on the scripts on the weekends and on the schedule and being a problem solver, and then going right into the deepest ocean of emotion, as an actor. It was strange because I was a producer on the film, so I was going between putting the producer hat on. RAPACE: I would say that he probably suffered more, physically, but Maja suffered emotionally. Was that more difficult for you physically, or was that more difficult for him physically to go through? You’re essentially pistol whipping him, kidnapping him, torturing him, and tying him up. When you feel like you have each other’s backs, you can be more brave and investigate deeper into all of these complex places that are really uncomfortable to be in, for both of us. We could allow ourselves to be ugly and wrong and do takes that might not be one hundred percent. That allowed us to dig deeper and explore those emotions and dark places with less of a safety net. We trust each other, we love each other, we’ve known each other for a long time, and we’re close friends.
What is it like to essentially torture a friend of yours? Does having a prior relationship with each other already make that easier to do? I just fell in love with him, straight away, and I called the producers and Joel, and I was like, “We have our director.” We’re both outsiders and foreigners in the States and we have a perspective on things that was quite similar. He started asking me a lot of really personal questions and I just felt an instant connecting tissue with him. We just started talking about what kind of film this is, what the core of it is, and what we really wanted to tell. Joel was out filming other stuff and I was filming other things, but I just couldn’t let go of this, so I just kept pushing for it.Īnd then, when I met when I met (director) Yuval Adler and we started talking, I was shooting Jack Ryan in New York. And then, it took us a couple of years to find the right director and I met several directors. That was something that I had always wanted to investigate and go into.
#The secrets we keep how to#
Our management, at the time, gave us this script, and we both read it and totally fell in love with the premise and the core of it, with the question of forgiveness and trauma, how to move on, whether healing is possible, and revenge versus forgiveness. NOOMI RAPACE: Joel Kinnaman and myself were looking for a project to do together.
