Similar to real life, the complex villains of Isabella Eklöf’s films are both attractive and repulsive at the same time, but what is the key to casting and working successfully with actors? In this Masterclass, the Danish director and former NFFTY award-winner Lin Alluna talks to the award-winning Swedish director and scriptwriter Isabella Eklöf, who dares to have fun with her art, while ruthlessly using her personal experience as honest inspiration for her unusual films.
