En el corazón de la película Anora de Sean Baker está Mikey Madison . Después de haber visto su trabajo en Once Upon a Time in Hollywood y Scream , Baker la eligió para interpretar a Ani, una joven que trabaja como bailarina en un club de striptease de Nueva York y vive en el barrio Brighton Beach de Brooklyn. Cuando Ani se casa impulsivamente con un cliente rico pero inmaduro (Mark Eydelshteyn), su padre y madre oligarcas descienden de Rusia en un intento de anular la unión. Para Madison, la preparación y la autenticidad fueron clave, por lo que se propuso no solo aprender ruso y bailar, sino cultivar una comprensión profunda del mundo de las trabajadoras sexuales. FECHA LÍMITE: Leí un artículo escrito por una trabajadora sexual que decía que su personaje en  Anora es la representación más respetuosa y real que han visto.

MIKEY MADISON: Creo que ese era mi objetivo final y por eso quise investigar tanto y profundizar en esto y en lo importante que era para este personaje, así que es maravilloso. Leí las memorias de Andrea [Werhun]. Se llaman Modern Whore . Son increíbles. Es una escritora hermosa y habla de su vida como trabajadora sexual, acompañante y bailarina a sus veinte años. Y la forma en que hablaba de su sexualidad y su vida, su sentido del humor, fue algo con lo que realmente me conecté y me intrigó mucho como persona. Sentí que Ani podría identificarse con ella de alguna manera. Me gustó cómo hablaba de las cosas. También fue consultora de la película y pudo responder muchas preguntas, hablar sobre ciertas escenas conmigo y agregó muchos matices y muchas capas importantes a la película y al personaje, pequeñas cosas diminutas que solo una trabajadora sexual sabría y que pudimos incluir en la película.

DEADLINE: ¿Cuál es un ejemplo de una de las pequeñas cosas que ella te contó y que fueron importantes?

MADISON: Andrea estaba hablando de las conversaciones en el vestuario, de las cosas que le dices a alguien, de la comida que lleva como almuerzo para comer en la sala de descanso, de cosas pequeñas como esas. Kennady [Schneider], mi instructora de baile, me enseñó a secar con secador mis Pleasers [zapatos] para que se ajustaran a mis pies; todos esos pequeños detalles que eran tan importantes. Me contó historias que realmente me inspiraron y, creo, influyeron en parte en la improvisación. Y con Luna [Sofía Miranda], que interpreta a Lulu en la película, nos hicimos amigas, y ella es maravillosa y fue muy generosa al compartir historias y tenía un gran sentido del humor sobre su trabajo. Es difícil pensar en una sola cosa, porque eso fue todo para darle vida al personaje. Si no hubiera hecho eso, sería un personaje y una historia completamente diferentes, creo. Fue lo más importante que hice.

DEADLINE: Lindsay Normington, who plays Diamond, is also a stripper and activist for sex workers in L.A. What did you learn from her?

MADISON: She’s an amazing person, incredible dancer, just a funny, beautiful, intelligent woman. And honestly, while we were filming, we didn’t have a chance to get to know each other very well, which I actually think was a blessing because I really like her as a person, but we needed to have that distance, I think, to be able to say and do the things that we do to each other. 

She was just very committed to throwing herself into those scenes with me. There’s a scene where we fight each other, and filming it, I think it was even more brutal than what is shown on screen. We were really just scrapping with each other. And there’s not many actresses who want to put themselves in that situation and get in there with me, and she was so willing to do it. She brought so much realism to her character, and her lived experience, I think, really informed her performance. Working alongside all of these women, where I’m the only person who does not have that lived experience, really pushed me to want to dive even deeper into the research and the character and that community because I didn’t want to stand out in a bad way. I wanted Ani to be this real, authentic, honest person and the depiction of sex work to mirror that.

DEADLINE: You mentioned improvisation. How much was there?

MADISON: While she’s working, the first however many minutes of the film, it’s all improvised. Her dancing, giving dances, talking to men, they just followed me around with a camera and I had a wireless mic, and I would just walk up to people, men, try to pick them up, talk to my coworkers. And they filmed that with a completely live club, so dancers were everywhere, music was blasting, customers were all over the place. With the research I had done and also my background as an actor, I was able to intuitively look at someone who I’ve never spoken to before, try to understand what kind of conversation they want, what kind of person they are, and try to cultivate some kind of chemistry and try to get them into a room for some dances. Obviously, it was contained and there’s a safety net under all of it, but I think the lines are blurred a little bit, because there’s not a camera right here, shooting an interaction. I think that the relationships and the conversations I had were much more free and honest because of that.

DEADLINE: You did your own stunts, including a big fight scene with you and two men that’s both disturbing and then funny and then disturbing again. Tell me about shooting that.

MADISON: Es una secuencia muy importante en la película, y me gustó mucho la forma en que Sean y yo pudimos jugar con diferentes géneros e infundir comedia y este elemento de payasadas en esas escenas porque hace reír a la gente, y creo que también desafía al público. He oído a gente decir después que se sentían muy mal por reírse, o que se sentían en conflicto por reírse de ella en esos momentos, y creo que es interesante desafiar a un público de esa manera. Y yo, como actriz, era consciente de lo absurdo de algunas de estas escenas, lo absurdo y el caos que implicaban. Pero, obviamente, Ani no lo es. Para ella, está luchando por su vida de muchas maneras diferentes, luchando por salvar su matrimonio, y también no sabe qué le va a pasar, también está luchando por su vida. Creo que debido a la forma en que lo filmamos, te alejas y puedes ver el caos absolutamente absurdo de la situación. Y creo que hace reír a la gente, porque en esos momentos oscuros creo que hay algo de humor, que es una de las razones por las que me encanta Sean como cineasta, porque toma una escena como esa, que con un cineasta diferente podría haber tenido un resultado muy diferente para el personaje, y la convierte en algo que no esperarías. Y fue interesante jugar con eso.
