www.sbs.com.au/films/video/2072861674/panic-room-jodie-fosterI hadn't seen this before, she says a few new things, and hearing her discuss all of Fincher's best films was interesting. She looked so healthy around the Panic Room promotion time. 2002-2003-- she was absolutely glowing, around having Kit/turning 40

oh yes, my dirty mind was at work too, I hate to say  I hope she directs soon too! I just don't think she has a very commercial-success-focused brain and since she has the clout to refuse to think that way, it results in respectable films but no game-changers I've always secretly wanted her to stumble across the perfect indie, funky, Juno-esque script that she falls in love with for some reason, and then makes some cultural-reflection girl-power movie. Just my weird little fantasy. |

Yes absolutely, she is so perfect, perfect mmm factor, perfect education, perfect acting, she has (and knows about) each and every 'hand tools' it needs...and then? It hurts she lacks that last bit of artistry, of creativity for something like the film you described. The ambition is there. You can tell when she _talks her films (and then what we see on the screen doesn't come quite close to that). So what to think? Since I haven't found a better answer yet I blame it on living in Hollywood her whole life. Someone like her, with a _real character sooner or later becomes a victim of this system, anything else would be a surprize.
I have this vision of a film with her. South America, the light is like in the desert before dawn but the place is almost jungle, it's hot and it rains cats&dogs and inside a bar she's slow dancing with a woman we can't recognize, a handsome shirtless guy sips on his whisky and what seems first as if he's jealously watching turns out is a secret language between them...

Her movies are fantastic. It's a shame people just can't appreciate them for the incredible works they are.  |

Thanks for the video. I hadn't see that before.  I've liked all of Jodie's films. LITTLE MAN TATE is the best. I also really liked THE BEAVER. Jodie has had a lot of bad luck as a director. I think she needs to find a great, quality DP whom she can work with consistently. The DP on THE BEAVER was excellent. But, basically, she needs to start building a team of people who "get" her and her ideas. I'd like to see something really ambitious from Jodie sometime soon. It doesn't have to be epic or mainstream; it just needs to pack a punch, and I hope it will make it possible for her to direct more films. If she can't find the material, she ought to try her hand at writing a screenplay. I think she'd be brilliant. |

She definitely would be brilliant. Two hours of pure JF, I'd be in heaven and then some. |
