Lena Olin comienzos

After mastering Shakespearen classies onstage and earning starter roles in European films,Olin´s breaktrough performance in The Unbearable Lightness of Being(1988) created an international buzz loud enough to ture her from Europe to the United States.

Lena Olin:1988

She stars with Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes in The Reader as Holocaust survivor Ilana Mather,as well as her mother,Rose Mother,in the film´s 1960s flashbacks.

Originally cast solely for the role of Ilana,Olin suggested to director Stephen Daldry that She play both daughter and mother.

Lena Olin:Ilana and Rose

Q:Before reading David Hare´s screenplay,were you familiar with Bernhard Schlink´s book,Der Vorleser on which it´s based?

A:Yes, I had read the book years ago.It´s a popular book in Germany.

Al most every other person had read it,and it´s been a best-seller in Europe.It´s a story about a Nazi, basically,who has a Love affair with an underage German boy.It´s extremely complicated.

As I read the book,I thought it almost would not be possible to work as a film.But when I watch the movie,it becomes more powerful to see these characters as people of flesh and blood,and I have a better understanding of what they are going through.

Q:How did you wind up playing both he modern-day Ilana Mather and her Mother?

A:I was so moved by the character of the mother and her testimony and the trial,I got this idea a that it could be so interesting to play the mother and the child.

We inherit the joy and pain of our Lives,and it flows through generations,so it just seemed like a nice idea.

Q:In the trailers,Ilana Mather is portrayed almost as Fiennes´psychologist:a wealthy,powerful woman interviewing him from her couch.

A:I´ve heard that before;it seems that way.But when Stephen(Daldry)approached me with this role,he wanted to portray another kind of survivor-someone who´s meved on.

She´s a victim of the Holocaust herself,and I think that was very important to Stephen and my self to portray someone who had moved on.

Obviously,her insides have been torn apart,and She grew up in hell and carries the pain.

But She´s made a life for herself:She lives in a beautiful apartament and has a very successful life.

At the end(of the film)when you meet this woman,David wanted a shot of a regular survivor,he wanted the audience to see someone…..who has done well with her life.

Q:When you starred in Alias,you were so good at being bad.Even for the role of Ilana Mather,your character is embittered and unflinching.

A:Everyone is complicated but it´s interesting to dig into a complicated characted,to try to find that within yourself.I couldn´t say that I prefer one over the other,but I love to play complicated characters.

Lena Olin´s:The world´s population lives terrible poverty.

Lena Olin´s:El mundo sufre y los niños mueren!!!!

A very large percentage of the world´s population lives terrible poverty..

There is very significant divide between the South and the North.Countries of central and South America,Africa and Asia have many problems with food,housing and health.The distribution of wealth is very unequal.

The industrialised countries of the North have only 35% of the world´s population but 90% of its income(money).People in the South suffer from poor health,a very poor diet and poor housing.The life expectancy of people in many countries is only 56 years,compared to 80 for tho se in Northern countries.

Starvation and disease are constant dangers.Children are particularly vulnarable and many die very young in poor countries.The world has serious problems,problrms everyone needs to think about.

Do you know any Organisations which help the poor?

“Please make a list to se me”
