Interview, I have to say, was a surprisingly good movie. I hadn't really heard anything about it before it was handed to me to be reviewed, so I didn't know what to expect. From the back of the case, I found out that Steve Buscemi plays Pierre Peders, a war correspondent who, for some reason, is tasked with interviewing the latest Holywood sex-pot, Katya (Sienna Miller). What I didn't expect was a movie that basically had only these two characters in it and when I realized that, I was somewhat worried how well this duo would be able to hold an entire movie on their own. Well, they did a pretty good job at it and I was pleased with what I saw.

Like I said above, Pierre is used to hard-nosed political stories and has seen his share of war-time journalism. But, instead of covering a major scandal in DC, his editor has sent him to interview this starlet whom he has barely heard of. When the two meet at a local restaurant, they immediately get off on the wrong foot, especially since Pierre doesn't seem to know anything about her or her movies and TV series. The two quickly part ways, but when Katya, and her sexy smile, cause an accident that gives Buscemi's character a slight head wound, Katya brings the reporter back to her loft to help patch him up.

The rest of the movie takes place in this apartment, and there the pair will have a very long and strange night. The two will fight about everything from politics to the importance of Katya's breast size. They will briefly, but vigorously, make out and then constantly ask what the moment of passion was about, and the interview itself will occur throughout the movie as Pierre tries to break into the inner workings of the starlet, and have his own guard be let down as well.

Like I said, this was a surprisingly good movie. Buscemi and Miller do a great job of playing off of each other and the chemistry between them is dead on. Besides the standard behind-the-scenes featurette and commentary by Buscemi (as director), this disc also contains a featurette called "Triple Theo, Take One," which talks about the original creator of this movie, the Holland director, Theo Van Gogh, who dreamed of having this and a couple of other movies remade in America, but died before this film was completed. I found this featurette to be really interesting because it explained a lot about Interview's very unique feel and style.

If nothing else, this movie is worth a rent. It has its fast and slow moments as the two characters do some vocal sparring. It is a good, solid drama that, if given the chance, shouldn't be passed up.
