in Cannes, Marsh discusses bringing Beckett to the screen in a somewhat unexpected way.
I have to admit, I thought I knew about Beckett, but when I read about Dance First I realized there was so much I didn’t know. That’s why I wanted to do the film. Beckett is such an interesting proposition, because of how he wrote what he wrote, and how he stands in the literature of the 20th century. And the script was actually kind of playful — it ambushes you early on. You don’t normally think of Beckett as laugh-out-loud or funny, but the script riffs on his work and his way of seeing the world. Essentially, it’s a review of his life through his mistakes, and he’s dwelling on the things that he most regrets.
