The Exploding Girl

Interview with the director

The film centers on the character of Ivy, a girl in her teens. Why did you want to tell her particular story and how do you relate to her?

I was inspired to tell Ivy’s story because of her calm and selfless nature. Her character originated on a down day. As a way of protecting myself from looking at things negatively, I started to imagine someone who would motivate me to become a better person.

Ivy can’t do everything she wants because of a medical condition, but she never complains. When Ivy’s character finally emerged, I was humbled by her resilience and I was eager to share her story.

ando há que tempos para ver o trailer deste filme mas nunca mais há meio de sair.

pelo menos não o encontro em lado nenhum.

e agora fiquem com uma música dos The Cure que, pelo que eu percebi, deu origem ao nome do filme.

The Exploding Boy

i couldn't hear a word you said

i couldn't hear at all

you talked until your tongue fell out

and then you talked some more

i knew if i turned

i'd turn away from you

and i couldn't look back

tell yourself we'll start again

tell yourself it's not the end

tell yourself it couldn't happen

not this way

not today
