The star of 'The Souvenir' and its new sequel had never acted before, was given no script, and agreed to the part just two weeks before filming began.
left off, and we find Julie sheltering at her parents' idyllic rural home, still reeling from the shock of Anthony's sudden death.
"It was funny, coming back,” she says. “I still don't think of myself as an actress. Joanna had to adjust to how much I had changed. But she was happy to see that I had toughened up a bit because she always pictured Honor and Julie becoming more integrated in the second film, and part of that was us both growing in confidence and certainty and Honor was 19 when Joanna asked her, out of the blue, to play the lead in her next film, two weeks before shooting started.
"Not a single thing I said was written down," Honor says, smiling."It wasn't terrifying, exactly, but it was tricky. You're constantly receiving new information. It's like someone accusing you of murder -- you instinctually start to defend yourself, but then your character's reaction would be slightly different than yours. Julie might apologise because she's more submissive than me. Where I might slap someone, she would take a nap.
Given that she's a student of psychology, I wondered whether she had come to re-evaluate Joanna's unique methodology in light of the concept of 'psychological harm', by which, in order for an experiment to be judged as ethical, participants must have the right to withdraw and give informed consent to every aspect of the experiment, limiting the potential for subsequent trauma.
"It was so therapeutic to say: ok, she's gonna go through these seven, or however many, stages of grief, she's going to try to make a film, she's going to be angry with her parents, she's going to experience weird adjustments to being by herself, a need to be in a bed with somebody but also the desire to be alone because she wants to be independent. Deeply relatable things.
