French director AudreyDiwan recounts a history of abortion in Happening.
Happening
With the threat of the reproductive rights being gutted in America on every front page, the release of French abortion dramalast weekend seems almost fated. But for director Audrey Diwan, that context is not what motivated her."You don't just make the movie just because to fight against the law. It's also part of our memory."follows one young woman, Anna . She's finishing school when she realizes that she is pregnant, and decides to have an abortion .
Diwan first read the novel, on the recommendation of a friend, not long after she had an abortion herself."I know a lot of books by Annie Ernaux, but not this one," said Diwan,"and I understand why now.
It took her about 18 months to think about developing the film, and when she did she constantly heard the same refrain from financiers:"'Why do you want to make the movie now when, because you have the law?' I would say, 'I hope you say the same thing about the next person who wants to make a movie about World War II.": That idea of freedom ties in with the idea that abortion never goes away, it just becomes more expensive.: That's true.
