A Conversation with Susanne Bier

Abstract

Based on an interview conducted in November 2016 in Copenhagen, the volume’s postscript foregrounds the topics covered in the book and touches on provocative readings of Bier’s films advanced by contributors. Bier’s responses to the editors’ questions provide material for future discussion, particularly in the overlaps they reveal between contributors’ interests and Bier’s. The interview also includes Bier’s thoughts on many issues addressed in the volume, thus inviting Bier to collaborate on this first major push to lay down a critical foundation for understanding her as a significant screen author.
