Rose, the mother played by the amazing Fiona Shaw, has booked a private treatment for her disability, hoping she may walk again. Sofia, the daughter played brilliantly by Emma MacKay, in her twenties, has been caring for her mother since she was four. This is a powerful story of a narcissistic mother-daughter relationship, in which the daughter eventually seeks to break free. Along this journey, Sofia encounters Ingrid, played by the lovely Vicky Krieps. She is a (seemingly) free spirit from Berlin, whom Sofia is immediately drawn to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had the absolute pleasure to talk with director Rebecca Lenkiewicz who kindly shared many thoughtful insights into the psychological depth and complex character dynamics in the story. Her movie stayed with me long after, and I\u2019m sure it will do the same for you. It is going to be in theaters in Germany on the 3rd of July and in the UK on the 4th. We discuss the scenes very subtly, no worries, there are no major spoilers ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Burcu Beaufort: <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we go deeper, I wanted to ask about the title, Hot Milk. I know it comes from the book, which I\u2019d love to read, but how does the name connect to the story thematically or symbolically?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Rebecca Lenkiewicz<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the book on the very first page, Sofia is talking about the Milky Way. That\u2019s the first time the word <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">milk<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is there. Also she\u2019s a barista back in London, so she\u2019s always boiling milk. But I think in our version, it\u2019s very much about maternal milk and it\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hot<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rather than body temperature. It\u2019s almost like off the scale because their relationship is heated.
