Kristin Scott Thomas is undoubtedly one of the great British actresses of all-time. Scott Thomas who starred in hit films such as Gosford Park, The English Patient and Four Weddings and a Funeral, among many other notable films and roles, is now starring in the most personal film she’s ever done. Scott Thomas stars, directs and co-wrote My Mother’s Wedding.
The film is based on a true story of Kristin Scott Thomas life and it revolves around three sisters who return home for their mother’s wedding, while attempting to come to terms with their past and each other.
I spoke with Kristin about the film and her personal story that played out on-screen in the film. The full interview is below.
KRISTIN SCOTT THOMAS:
Kristin was pleasant to speak with. Obviously this film meant a lot to her and her family. She plays her mother Diana in the film, alongside Scarlett Johansson and Sienna Miller. Kristin mentioned her mother’s reaction to the film, pretty funny. Initially, I had no idea this was a true story, and one about her life. That was surprising to see in the end credits. It’s a family dramedy, with good acting and interesting characters.
