Kristen Stewart opens up at #Cannes about casting Imogen Poots in ‘The Chronology of Water,’ calling her “a walking motif” who brought the film’s visceral themes of pain and memory to life. As Stewart began to see what her actors brought to the screen, the film itself evolved. “We got home and I was like, ‘I think I killed everything. I think everything’s dead. Then I opened up all these stunning, beautiful gifts and I was like, ‘No, no, we just did something different.’ Ingratiating yourself to newness is difficult. It’s like you have to mourn the loss of a thing.” 🔗 link in bio for more on this story. 🗣️: #KristenStewart 🎤: Moderated by sharonwaxman ⭐️ TheWrap’s Cannes Conversations in partnership with BrandInnovators
