Todd Haynes is a regular visitor to the Festival who was president of the Official Jury in San Sebastián in 2013. He is back here this year to present May December, a melodrama starring Nathalie Portman and Julianne Moore. The former plays an actress who wants to make a film about a teacher, played by Moore, who had sex with a minor who is now her husband. Haynes rejects the idea that his film is just another Douglas Sirk homage like Far from Heaven, as he claims that he wanted to make a much more austere story with a framework that created a certain emotional distance with the audience. As for whether May December can be considered to be a caustic reverse version of Lolita, he says that it’s true that when a man has a relationship with a much younger girl, people don’t question it as much as when a woman does the same. “Our film is a reflection on the power relations that occur in a relationship like this.” He also acknowledges that when they got to Savannah, he knew that it was the ideal place to set this story. Its humid, sticky climate gave the characters just the right emotional temperature that was needed to tell this story.
