Kelly Reilly discusses her collaboration with director Sean Ellis on a film set in France. Despite missing a previous opportunity to work together, she was drawn to Ellis’s pitch for a melancholic role in his new project. Reilly admires Ellis as an artist and welcomed the chance to play a character vastly different from her previous role on Yellowstone.
She appreciated the challenge of portraying a character with minimal dialogue, opting for a less-is-more approach to convey emotions and experiences. Reilly trusted Ellis’s vision and enjoyed delving into the world of period dramas for the film.
Ultimately, her decision to join the project stemmed from her desire to work with talented filmmakers and continue pushing her boundaries as an actor.
