Aubrey Plaza on the 'intense experience' of her Sundance thriller BlackBear, her Judy obsession
,” a galvanizing and serpentine thriller about a weekend getaway that goes dangerously off the rails.on Friday and Plaza’s work is a million miles removed from April Ludgate, the deadpan and apathetic intern from “Parks and Recreation” that served as the actress’ breakout role. Here, Plaza plays both sides of the coin, in the story of a couple who get obsessed with their overnight guest.
There is pressure, but with this project more than any other project, I decided to do it right after I first read it. When Larry gave it to me, I couldn’t believe that he believed I could pull it off. It was this challenging exercise in terms of performance — mentally, emotionally, I knew I was diving off the deep end. But that appealed to me. There were notes in the script that literally said, “[my character] Allison gives the most amazing performance that anyone has ever seen.
Definitely Almodovar. But performance wise, the movies that Chris Abbott and I talked about were Cassavetes. My work is kind of a homage to Gena Rowlands in “Woman Under the Influence.” What’s so interesting is while we were shooting this film, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” came out. I went to see it some small theater in the Adirondacks and there’s that scene where Leonardo DiCaprio is doing the performance in the cowboy show, and he’s losing his grip. That was what I was trying to do.
