At first glance, Interview looks like a vehicle for Sienna Miller to prove whether she is actually an actress, with Steve Buscemi along for the ride. I was on the fence about Interview until I learned that it was directed and adapted by Buscemi.

Interview is the tale of a political journalist (Buscemi) sent to interview a movie star (Miller). After he is slightly injured in a car accident that she indirectly caused, they end up in her loft for a booze-filled night. That’s when things get interesting.

Part of the Triple Theo project, Interview honors the legacy of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh. After van Gogh was murdered in 2004, his producing partners approached New York filmmakers about remaking three of his Dutch-language films in English. Blind Date, directed by Stanley Tucci, is next in the project, followed by a film helmed by John Turturro. All three films will use van Gogh’s crew, cameras, and methods.

I am intrigued by this character drama and the Triple Theo project, so I will definitely RENT IT. Interview is rated R and opens in limited release on July 13. (official site)
