With Interview, his fourth directorial outing, American actor-cum-director Steve Buscemi reworks a 2003 feature by the ill-fated Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh. Van Gogh originally intended to shoot an English-language version of the picture himself, but Buscemi signed on after the director's late 2004 assassination. The story concerns Pierre Peders (Buscemi), a steel-tough political correspondent infuriated by his editor's decision to hogtie him to a tabloid-level story about the seemingly vapid actress and blonde paparazzi goddess Katya (Sienna Miller). Pierre's chagrin doubles given the news of a searing White House scandal that is just breaking; instead of covering the piece, Peders must visit a posh Manhattan restaurant and interview Katya -- someone he instantly detests. The one-on-one is more of a disaster than either could have predicted, but by some strange twist of fate, Pierre is injured and courted back to Katya's apartment. Once there, liquor is downed, coke is consumed, minor violence erupts, and the two begin to dance a pas de deux -- attempting, not so subtly, to outmaneuver one another psychologically, as dark secrets and long-hidden vulnerabilities emerge. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    I really enjoy Steve Buscemi, but this film was a dissapointment. Because it's taken directly from a play, it comes across as overly theatrical and stagy. All dialogue and no "action.'' The ending had an interesting twist, but it wasn't enough to carry the film.

    This is a very strange movie. Not just the pairing, but the entire premise and the dialogue. Buscemi plays Pierre, a political reporter forced to do a fluff piece on a hot Hollywood "it" girl Katya, played by Miller. After a botched attempt at the interview at a restaurant, Pierre gets a bump on his head after Katya cause his cab to crash. He ends up at Katya's spacious loft drinking and talking to the starlet. What follows is a chaotic conversation in which the two try to outwit each other. Often nonsensical and erratic, Miller's performance is true to the strange character the script called for. You will find yourself glued to the dialogue trying to figure out what is actually true. Unfortunately the twist ending comes much too late after you've figured out that you really don't care. The actors have done such a good job at acting weird, you can't take any of it as genuine. Overall it is just okay.

    This movie is horrible. I rented it because of the film festival awards on the cover. What a disappointment. This movie is so boring...not because there is no action.....but because the dialogue fails on many levels. Worst movie I seen this year.
