Gillian Anderson on how Nicole Kidman led her to take more risks
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma sees the X-Files star take on a beguiling role as a reclusive former final girl.
Gillian Anderson reveals that Nicole Kidman inspired her to pursue more challenging roles. Kidman's career trajectory, before the public, played a significant role in Anderson's decision to take on projects that diverge from the mainstream. In the film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Anderson plays a character based on herself, and she credits her post-transition experience for the film's exploration of intimacy and self-identity.
The movie stars Hannah Einbinder as a horror obsessive and Kris Williams, played by Gillian Anderson, who seeks out the final girl from the original Camp Miasma series, now played by Billy Presley. The film, which received a nine-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard competition, tackles themes of transphobia and the complexity of human emotions.
