Self-destructive, serious journalist Pierre Peders has made his name as a war reporter, so he's is not well pleased when his latest assignment is to interview pop diva, TV and movie star Katya, a job he believes is beneath his dignity. When the two meet in a restaurant it is an instant collision of two worlds, but when Pierre is slightly injured in a traffic accident inadvertently caused by Katya, they end up at her apartment for a long night of talking, drinking, sparring, and coming close to a sort of embattled intimacy. Directed by Buscemi as homage to murdered Dutch film director, Theo Van Gogh, Interview is an intriguing deconstruction of two damaged psyches who find an element of peace through each others pain.
