Mara Sisters Sync Up with Werner Herzog in Bucking Fastard Venice Premiere

Werner Herzog discusses Bucking Fastard, a drama starring Kate and Rooney Mara as Irish sisters who speak, think and move in unison. Filmed with a lean, one-camera approach (few takes; rehearsals allowed but cut short), the sisters describe performing as a single, shared performance. The film, loosely inspired by real-life twins Freda and Greta Chaplin, premiered at the Venice Film Festival to a warm standing ovation and is being handled by HanWay Films. Herzog also reflects on his directing philosophy, humor, future projects, and his curiosity about space travel.
