Once acclaimed as the young star of the Oscar-winning Polish drama Ida, Agata Trzebuchowska has shifted from acting to directing with the twisted coming-of-age tale Sick. In a conversation with Borrowing Tape, the filmmaker touches upon how her film explores taboo relationships, filming erotic elements with sensitivity, and why she doesn’t want to be seen as just an actress.


IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Genre as Framework: Using horror to explore uncomfortable themes like taboo relationships and give storytelling more freedom than traditional drama.

  • Location as Character: Filming in a remote Masurian house to sharpen character dynamics and contrast serene exteriors with dark interiors.
