Marta Balaga Andrea Riseborough takes on the pleasure and pain of love in Channel 4 series “Alice & Jack,” created by Victor Levin. “This frustration of really appreciating someone and also not being able to understand them or be understood, that’s such a common connection we have in life,” she tells Variety ahead of the show’s MipCom premiere. She also serves as an executive producer.
“Also, it’s not just frustration – there is excitement as well. It can take you to your highest highs, it’s the most elated feeling in the world and it’s also brutally hard. There is nothing harder than true love.” That’s what Alice and Jack (Domhnall Gleeson) are about to find out, as following a supposed one-night stand they realize they can’t be together.
They also can’t be apart. “When Vic sent me that first episode, it felt so… Awkwardly, heartbreakingly, hysterically funny.” “The ridiculousness and the awkwardness of it all can be so hysterical when you look back on a relationship. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had some of the most ginormous giggles with my friends about daft, stupid things you do when you are in love.” Reuniting with Gleeson helped her flesh out the complexity of the relationship.
“It’s the third thing we have made together with Domhnall. We played a couple in ‘Never Let Me Go,’ then I made ‘Shadow Dancer,’ where he played my brother. We have this history of very natural friendship and respect for each other.
