Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette chaired a career masterclass this afternoon at Series Mania in Lille, France, where she served as this year’s guest of honor.
Topics up for discussion during the session ranged from Arquette’s childhood growing up on a “hippie” commune with her parents in rural Virginia alongside her career as an actress, working with filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Richard Linklater, and David Lynch.
“He gives you a lot of freedom,” Arquette said of Lynch, whom she worked with on his 1997 surrealist feature Lost Highway.
Lynch’s Lost Highway, like many of his films of the 90s, is a project focused on gender, sexuality, and sensuality. In the pic — which also stars Bill Pullman — Arquette’s character is involved in a prolonged nude scene. Arquette said that at the time, she had been “really uncomfortable with nudity.” However, she pushed on with the scene to challenge herself as an artist, but she ended up being uncomfortable on set due to the behavior of some crew members.
“It was weird. It was hard for my own hang-ups. But also the guys were saying some crude things. I told David that I wasn’t comfortable,” she said, adding that Lynch asked her to leave the set and then proceed to lay into the crew members.
“By the time I came back in, they were all looking at their feet and apologizing. He made sure there were some boundaries for different things,” Arquette said.
Arquette added that Lynch acted as her “intimacy coordinator” along with her co-stars, adding a layer of protection during vulnerable moments.
Moving on to Martin Scorsese’s 1999 feature Bringing Out the Dead, Arquette described Scorsese as an “incredibly generous” filmmaker, citing one moment on set where the Mean Streets film
