Olivia Colman on The Lost Daughter, FLC Luminaries

FLC Luminaries, our new video series presented by Netflix, spotlights talent in all levels of the filmmaking process who uplift the art and craft of cinema. For our inaugural conversation, we are proud to welcome Academy Awardwinner Olivia Colman to discuss her role as Leda in Maggie Gyllenhaal s The Lost Daughter, an NYFF59 Spotlight selection. Colman discussed her experience working on location in Greece, the ease of Maggie Gyllenhaal s direction, the camaraderie between the cast and crew while filming during COVID19, and more. In her striking feature directorial debut, Maggie Gyllenhaal adapts the 2006 novel of the same name by Elena Ferrante, a potent work of psychological interiority that follows Leda, a divorced professor on a solitary summer vacation who becomes intrigued and then oddly involved in the lives of another family she meets there. Oscarwinner Olivia Colman brilliantly embodies this quietly tempestuous character, finely shading in the enigmatic relationships she creates wit
