Sofia Boutella on Playing a Character Spiked with LSD in ‘Climax’

If you’ve seen the trippy trailer for Gaspar Noé’s Climax—one of the many films I saw at this year’s Toronto Film Festival—you know it’s like nothing you’ve seen before. Climax is about a troupe of young dancers that have gathered to rehearse when they discover they’ve been drinking sangria laced with potent LSD. We then follow their journey from jubilation to chaos. Along for the bad trip is Sofia Boutella acting alongside a cast of professional dancers.

A few hours before the premiere, Sofia Boutella came by the Collider studio at TIFF for an interview. During the wide-ranging conversation she talked about what the film is about, how she got ready to play a character on drugs, why making Climax was such a unique experience, what it was like working with a director that is also the cinematographer, memorable moments from filming, how her process as an actor has change, and a lot more.

In addition, towards the end of the interview, she played “Get to Know Your TIFF Attendee”, which includes questions like what TV show they’d like to guest spot on, what film scared them as a kid, what is the background photo on their phone, what TV show have they watched all the way through more than once, have they watched a movie more than 20 times, and more.
