Variety publishes these days interviews between actors who marked the year 2021.Kristen Stewart, acclaimed for Spencer, chats with Nicole Kidman, who is playing Being the Ricardos, on Amazon Prime Video.The first takes advantage of this interview to recall her desire to go behind the camera: after making a clip and a short film, she is about to adapt the mechanics of fluids/The Chronology of Water, her first long.She reveals, without quoting her, that she has just found the main actress of her film, which will be drawn from the Memoirs of the American author Lidia Yuknavitch, a work published in 2011 where she raws her chaotic journey.

""""""""I adapt the memories of an American novelist called Lidia Yuknavitch, and we have just found the first role, which is a huge relief, explains Stewart.I was alone to prepare that, and it feels good to be able to offer it to someone, a friend and partner, to whom I can ask: 'Help me.'Because it is she who will have to play, and it will be hard.I am glad.I discussed it with someone very rich two days ago, and she seemed very excited to produce this project, but I would like it to remain a short film.I think it's the best way to adapt it.I'm going to have to throw a girl in ice water, and I already feel bad for her.It's such a great demand to invite someone to play such a role.I'm sure you would love this book.The writing is very direct, physical, full of female rage.""""""""

En 2018, Kristen Stewart annonçait être rattachée à la réalisation de La Mécanique des Fluides en se montrant déjà particulièrement enthousiaste : """"""""Je l'ai dans la peau.I knew it before I even meet her.As soon as we saw each other, it was as if we were both embarking on a race, but without the competition aspect.My only goal is to finish the scenario and initiate a phenomenal actress.I want to write the best female role possible, p ***.A role that I would have terribly want to play, but that I will not embody.""""""""

Here is the summary of fluid mechanics, published in French by Denoël: swimmer since her childhood and hope for the Olympic Games, Lidia seeks at all costs to escape an unhealthy and oppressive family universe, between an alcoholic father and a motherdepressive.She accepts a sports scholarship to enter a university in Texas, but is returned as dry for drug and alcohol consumption.Lidia then decides to participate in the writing project of Ken Kesey, cult author of theft above a cuckoo nest, because, she is convinced, writing is her vocation.Fluid mechanics is not a story of addiction, abuse and perdition: it is the implacable triumph of the power of words and writing.A punch novel on resilience, in which the autobiographical story is magnified by an original and impactful writing.
