Bad Behaviour: Ben Whishaw Alice Englert Talk Jennifer Connelly and Their Dark Comedy

Actress Alice Englert can now add writerdirector to her resumé, after premiering her directorial debut, Bad Behaviour, at the Sundance Film Festival this year. Following in the footsteps of her mother, Academy Awardwinning filmmaker Jane Campion, Englerts feature is a meditative exploration of a strained motherdaughter relationship between Lucy, played by Jennifer Connelly, and her daughter, Dylan (Englert). Lucy was a child actor whose tumultuous past affects her deeply and causes issues in her relationship with her daughter. In order to find some respite from her anxieties, Lucy checks herself into an enlightenment retreat under the tutelage of selfhelp guru, Elon Bello, played by Emmy winner, Ben Whishaw, who conducts unorthodox practices with his retreatgoers. Through phone calls with her daughter, a stunt coordinator working in New Zealand, we see a glimpse of Lucys codependency and her selfinvolved tendencies that created the distance between them in the first place.
