Annotation |
The Italian filmmaker Liliana Calvani is interviewed about her script for a film on Simone Weil. The interview focuses on Calvani’s reasons for wanting to make a film on Weil and the difficulties she encountered in her attempt to do so. It touches upon Weil’s factory work, her social and political activism, especially what Calvani sees as her modern approach to these, her anorexia and her continuing importance as an intellectual figure. |
