A regular at Cannes, she has helmed adaptations like Morvern Callar (2002), We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) and You Were Never Really Here (2017), and along the way garnered praises from both, critics and readers, a rare feat in the books versus film debate. I’m sure many people would say you couldn’t make a film of it, because it was a book of letters. It was a challenge and I have always made the books my own, and it’s always a companion piece to the source material. I’m lucky that the three adaptations that I’ve done, they’ve all been so different from the original material it is adapted from. Are there any books that you think would make for a great film?
