In a conversation at the New York Film Festival, director Todd Haynes praised how Julianne Moore took on the 'burden' of finding her character
. In a conversation after the screening, the director shared that the film was shot in just 23 days in Savannah, without any rehearsal time. Responding to a question about Gracie’s lisp, Hanyes praised Moore’s skill at finding out what really makes Gracie tick, almost on her own .
“The burden on Julianne Moore to completely come up with the specificity of Gracie was enormous,” Haynes reflected while acknowledging he . “Down to the cadence and her manner of speech—Julianne and I talked about it and there were things in a loose upper palate that we found in Mary Kay Letourneau’s speech that was a kickoff for her.”Elsewhere in the conversation, Haynes spoke about some of the film’s influences, both obvious and obscure. Ingmar Bergman’s 1966 film, which follows a nurse caring for an actress on a remote island as their personalities begin to blend into one another, was an obvious source of inspiration.
