- Title: A Life in Pictures 2018: Keira Knightley on most challenging role
- Date: 17th December 2018
- Summary: A Life in Pictures
- Description:Keira Knightley was interviewed by Jason Solomons for BAFTA's A Life in Pictures series at their Piccadilly headquarters in London, U.K. on Friday 17 December 2018. KK: I mean I think it was Anna Karenina and again it goes back to that technical thing, partly because when we first started talking about it, it was meant to be a naturalistic version which was a whole different way of thinking about it. And then when it suddenly became what it became I think I?d prepared the idea of a character which probably would have been a hell of a lot easier shooting in the way that David Cronenberg shoots, which is he does two or three shots maximum, you do one or two takes maximum and then you can kind of play these parts that are really sort of fraught and tense because as far as energy levels go they?re kind of there and gone. By preparing Anna Karenina in the way that I had, I hadn?t anticipated thirty-five takes of turning into a mirror and getting that tear to drop exactly at that point when you turn into that slither of mirror reflecting you and that light hitting exactly that. I hadn?t. So I think for those two reasons that one was most difficult.
