How on earth do you write lines that feel both old-fashioned and as dramatic as theater? A. Whenever we run casting readthroughs, we always hear that the dialogue feels too literary. I think it's because both director Park Chan-wook and I grew up reading books in a world without YouTube. For this film, Tang Wei's pronunciation also played a big part — the way she says, straight from the chest, syllable by syllable, 'Am I really that bad?' (Jeong Seo-kyeong, from a Cosmopolitan interview) (If you've seen #DecisionToLeave, you'll know) Tang Wei's lines, delivered from the chest, deliberate and full of weight, were as firm as the shell around a pistachio. Brush bread with olive oil and toast both sides. (Much more efficient than doing it with oil in a pan.) Spread mascarpone cheese generously, then top with the prettiest chopped pistachios in the world. #mascarponepistachiosandwich
