What You Need To Know:
Neither of these characters is appealing. Also, their encounter is not very believable or focused, despite some good acting and interesting themes about fame, celebrity and personal integrity. Finally, the script contains very strong foul language and silly sexual content that only display the pagan self-absorption of filmmakers who do forgettable projects like this one. Only a few moviegoers in large metropolitan areas will want to see this INTERVIEW.

More Detail:
INTERVIEW is an American remake of a Dutch movie by a filmmaker, Theo Van Gogh, who was murdered by Muslim extremists. The movie harks back to a theater trend from the 1950s where playwrights would put characters into conflict and, by the end of the play, some startling dark secrets would be revealed. The style was silly back then and it’s still silly now.
Actor Steve Buscemi, who also directed, stars as Pierre, a political reporter who’s upset about being asked to do a celebrity interview of a beautiful but shallow pop icon named Katya. Pierre becomes even more upset when the apparently conceited Katya arrives late for the interview at a restaurant.
After briefly trading insults, Pierre and Katya part ways, but an accident on the street results in Katya inviting Pierre up to her apartment to take care of a head wound. There, Pierre discovers there’s more than meets the eye to Katya. And, Katya discovers some secrets about Pierre’s past and present.
