How does Kiss Me, Princess fit into the contemporary Austrian cinema landscape?
Hilde Dalik: Michi didn't want to make a typical Austrian film. I mean, I respect any film that gets made, but that typical depressing image of people living a life without hope in a satellite town – we wanted to avoid that. In those films there's no solution. In ours there is. We wanted to tell a fairytale.
Every fairytale has a message...
Hilde Dalik: The little girl, Julia, says at some point: "Mummy, if you really want something then you have to dream of it as hard as you can". And my character, Susi, does just that. She dreams of a happy relationship. That wasn't possible with Gernot, the insurance salesman, who she was together with before.
This insurance salesman is played by Stefano Bernardin, who's your partner in real life. Did you find yourselves bringing the aggression home from the set with you after a day's shooting?
Hilde Dalik: It's great. You can practise quarrelling at home beforehand. When you start rehearsing in detail you slip into these patterns.Yes, certain patterns did get transferred, I have to say. But it's not as if it put our relationship to the test. Stefano rather enjoyed it.
