ROONEY MARA: "I believe in the unifying power of cinema"
" It happened fast- smiles remembering her last film,- The secret. It is the adaptation of a novel that I really loved Sebastian Barry. A writer and Irish poet, like Sheridan, the director of our film. It 'was a wonderful experience to turn in nature and in the small villages of Ireland and the book from which the film was made, The Secret Scripture I read and reread before I came chosen for the film " .
Actress very serious, insatiable reader, far from any frivolous worldly Hollywood, Rooney, among other things, belongs to an upper class New York family has Irish roots and, therefore, for various reasons has been passionate about the history of the novel, as she has careful to point out several times during the meeting.
Petite in the physical, elegant without ostentation, with hazel eyes, Rooney Mara is a secretive person and even in photographs projects, as the Pirelli Calendar 2017, is committed in every detail of her work and is always sincere.
Even when she says : " For The secret I replaced Jessica Chastain, that was filming another movie. It 'was a wonderful gift for me because, I repeat, I had very experienced with passion by reading the book from which this film is based, and its woman's complex character " .
About her Foundation: "This for me is a genuine social commitment, has nothing to do with advertising aspects of charity. We work with young people who have nothing, not even shoes, which have never owned a book and who have no opportunity. I am a committed president of the board of this Foundation and every day, any movie I'm doing, I deal seriously its developments, its objectives'.
How do you manage to combine its humanitarian and professional commitments, with choices too risky and non-obvious popularity of paper, not made with the glitter of Hollywood world?
Working a lot and doing thoughtful selections based on the scripts that are offered to me. I was born in the midst of a privileged family, owners of sports teams and other real estate, but I built my simple acting career with hard work and sacrifices. Without special facilities in the art that I chose,
Why did you decide to become an actress?
It seemed and still seems to me that many of my interests literary, cultural, humanitarian, could find expression in acting. For me the work of a film is a collection of talents together. It´s a job more related with the art, in many of its manifestations, literary, scenic, fashion, creativity. I just love the cinema, and the theater and, ultimately, the best television: I believe in their strength of unification and exchanges with the public.
What can you say about The Secret and the background of your character?
"Ireland of the Second World War, the country so loved by the director, has a role of its own in the film. The portrait of the protagonist will involve, I hope, a part of the female audience. Because Rose is a brave woman, but also hypersensitive and she has a destiny in some way marked by a love that hurts, that changes her destiny.
Rose has a secret ....
Yes, Rose is a gray area, one that the public will find out little by little and this question of her existence is rooted in her past. The director of My Left Foot really loved, read and studied the novel. Each location was chosen in Ireland and every actor that I had alongside deeply felt, like me, the book's themes at the base of the script. A woman is publicly questioned on her life, on children, on the most painful and difficult choices that often the fate imposes on us.
Love, even if is wrong, is therefore behind the film?
Yes, but it is the life and its consequences the essence of the script with beautiful dialogues because the passion is not always synonymous with love, generosity towards people that we are on the side. I'm really pleased that since the first festival where the film was presented Italy acquired it.
You spoke with Vanessa Redgrave of your character?
Vanessa and I we did not have scenes together. She is elderly Rose, I interpret Rose when was a girl.
What has particularly fascinated in the role of Rose?
It 'a woman with a well-defined personality, but with many internal conflicts. There are also social fractures in each other and not always the love of two young manages to overcome them, to neutralize them. Not all critics were positive, but I always read with interest even negative judgments or partially in accordance with the intentions of the director who signs a movie.
Did you expect to have a career like the one you had with the opportunity to work with great directors??
I had hoped. There is that slight blockbusters, I enjoyed interpreting the expected A Ghost Story with Casey Affleck,. However, I certainly like art films, and among all those I've played so far, Carol of Todd Haynes has a special place in my filmography.

Now we will see in a horror announced as a potential blockbuster ...
A Ghost Story is not just a horror, mixes different genres. The film's trailer is among the most viewed on the Internet. It will be released in mid-summer in the US and in many countries and I hope will amuse the audience. When I was young, I remember that I did too, in summer have fun watching scary movies.When I was young, I remember that I did too, in summer have fun watching scary movies.
Do you often interpret women looking into their past wires, the steps, the changes in their lives, of their characters. It's a choice?
No, it is our past, although it may seem trivial on repeating it, that always leads us to the choices or events of our present. The answers often, in reality, even if we forget, are derived from our past, from the places where we grew up, the people who have relied in the formative years of our lives.
All are now waiting to see the film by Terrence Malick Song to Song ...
It 'was a joy work with that cast, that acting energy and also shoot in Austin, Texas, a city full of life, colors, flavors and the music scene on a background that will offer many notes to the audience.
When he was a young girl, who were his favorite actresses?
I have two brothers and a sister, two older than me, a smaller one: our afternoons were often dedicated to reading. My father told us for years that "reading is the lifeblood of our being." I always preferred to read and reread Shakespeare and of course I cried reading Romeo and Juliet! As for the film, I was and I am a fanatic of all the films of John Cassavetes and Gena Rolands has been and always will be my model of actress.I was and I am a fanatic of all the films of John Cassavetes and Gena Rolands has been and always will be my model of actress.
An example of a woman in the music that she was, or is it important?
Patti Smith as an artist and woman has an unquestionably courage of always being herself. She´s a wonderful person, a kind of flag for many women and also love all the words of the songs she interpreted.
You want to name a few?
I was born in April and, therefore, I like April Fool for that reason among other reasons . She says in one verse: "Be my April Fool, we'll break all the rules" (ed. Be my April fool, will break all the rules).
She is also a sort of icon in the style between casual and sophisticated outfits ...
Fashion goes hand in hand with the profession of actress, but the way we dressed, combed, prepared in every movie. Fashion becomes an alter ego of our characters, modern or vintage. I do not have favorite designers and models, though always had a penchant for fashion house Givenchy. It depends on the circumstances, the mood that leads me to choose certain colors and just do not care to be a style template. They are, shall we say, eclectic, as in my readings and film tastes and do not forget when girl did not miss a horror film of theNightmare on Elm Street series.
, my google translator made a total mess out of it (again), so i won't post it here, perhaps someone with better skills than a robot would make more sense out of it
