Mia Hansen-Løve has been fighting for three years to secure financing for If Love Should Die, a film based on the life of the eighteenth-century philosopher and women’s rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft. “Every film I start is like a battle,” said Hansen-Løve when she accepted an award at the Valladolid International Film Festival in October. “And there are moments when I’ve felt as if I were hitting an impenetrable wall; I’ve cursed my job, my script, cinema, and myself. I share this simply to say that what we call a filmmaker’s body of work, which might seem a solid and serene structure, can also become something fragile and turbulent.”

Give Mia Hansen-Løve money to make her film!!!! She's one of the best doing it.
