And how the script is one of the cleverest and how it’s one of those scripts she wishes she had written it. After watching it several times she began to see how nuanced Michelle Pfieffer’s character of Madame de Tourvel really is.

] Nicola Pittam talks about how Point Break’s director Kathryn Bigelow became a huge influence on her as a result of this film and how it is the perfect action movie.
