伊莱娜·格莱泽：从七岁起我就知道自己想成为一名喜剧演员，对认可和赞美的渴望是这类艺术家的特点。在电影《Babes》中，我饰演一个意外怀孕的瑜伽老师，独自抚养孩子。这部电影的创作过程充满挑战，我在怀孕期间创作剧本，女儿一岁时拍摄完成。成为母亲的体验是一个持续的学习过程，我不断学习和发现新的东西。即使有良好的物质条件和家庭支持，为人母仍然充满挑战，需要不断学习和适应。我更注重享受创作过程中的乐趣，而不是仅仅关注最终结果。电影中对怀孕和生育的真实描绘被一些人认为过于露骨，但我认为这反映了人们对女性生命力的疏离。电影中的女性对话真实地反映了女性朋友间的谈话方式。电影的制作过程非常顺利和快速。与Michelle Buteau合作的体验与与Abbi Jacobson合作不同，她是我在电影中的缪斯女神。我认为喜剧和真挚的情感是可以结合的，这反映了生活的真实面貌。我通过与角色进行对话和心理上的分离来完成从编剧到演员的角色转换。成为母亲后，我更享受创作过程中的乐趣，并通过每周三次的治疗来保持身心平衡。我女儿带给我巨大的快乐，这让我感到惊喜。 Naomi Fry: 作为一名记者，她对Ilana Glazer的采访内容进行了总结和概括，并提出了一些问题，引导Ilana Glazer分享她的观点和感受。 Abbi Jacobson: 作为Ilana Glazer在《Broad City》中的搭档，她的创作理念和对艺术的理解影响了Ilana Glazer。 Michelle Buteau: 作为Ilana Glazer在电影《Babes》中的搭档，她们的合作非常默契，她们的对话风格相似。 Pamela Adlon: 作为电影《Babes》的导演，她的工作风格和对电影的理解影响了电影的最终呈现。 Josh Rabinowitz: 作为电影《Babes》的联合编剧，他与Ilana Glazer一起创作了电影剧本。

Shownotes Transcript

In their breakout comedy series, “Broad City,” Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson played raucous and raunchy best friends who were the glue in each other’s lives. In “Babes,” the new movie co-written by Glazer and directed by Pamela Adlon (fresh off her own series, “Better Things”), friendship is, again, a life force. Glazer plays Eden, a yoga teacher who gets pregnant unexpectedly and becomes a single mom. This time Glazer plays opposite Michelle Buteau, whom Glazer calls a “muse” for the film. Even though it didn’t take long to get the script green-lit, Glazer says some of the more graphic realities of pregnancy and having children were taken as somewhat “blue.” That assessment, she tells The New Yorker’s Naomi Fry, makes her wonder, “Perhaps we’ve been so disembodied from our own life force, from our own origin stories, that we find it disgusting. But it’s not disgusting. It’s hilarious, it’s beautiful, it’s also ugly, it’s sweet and soft, it’s hard and intense, but the way women talk still really rubs people the wrong way.” Glazer also talks with Fry about what Jacobson taught her about being an artist, going to therapy three times a week, and being wild about her daughter.
