Ti West explains why he chose an emotional monologue for 'Pearl's climax.
With October fast on September's heels, the horror genre has been churning out some fantastic, all-new original films, as well as prequels, sequels and everything in between. One such prequel is filmmaker Ti West's second part of his recently-announced X trilogy Pearl, starring Mia Goth. In the film, Goth portrays a young girl, Pearl, in the early 1900s whose only driving force in life is to become a star and escape her family's farm.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY On a rural farm in 1918, the movie follows Pearl, the daughter of German immigrants struggling to make a living during World War I, amid the spread of the Spanish flu. Rather than inheriting the farm and the laborious life that comes with it , Pearl yearns to become a star like the girls she sees on the silver screen.
Each take, Goth went into it knowing that there was "a six-minute chunk in the middle that, once she said a certain string of words," West would not be cutting from. To get that perfect shot, one even Pearl herself would be proud of, everything had to go smoothly from cast and crew. West described filming that scene as similar to filming a dangerous stunt, where all the pieces had to be in place just so or the shot would be killed.
"She’s on another planet for all that. This is just a complete tour de force and credit to Mia, who A, could do it six times in a row in a day, and B, all of them were good, and she didn’t mess it up. She came in so ready and prepared that we just got out of her way." Don't miss Mia Goth's performance in Pearl, in theaters now, ahead of the trilogy's final installment, MaXXXine, coming soon.
