Carice already got praising reviews in her home country the Netherlands but since it premiered during the Tribeca Film Festival. Carice and director Paula van der Oest talked with Variety about the project, it makes us so proud “Black Butterflies” is so well received during the Tribeca Film Festival.
When asked how many films she’s made, van Houten (34 going on 17), dismisses any attempt to be accurate with a wave–”Oh so many, maybe 20.” Two of her better known films are Valkyrie and Black Book. In Black Butterflies, she is an impetuous Ingrid, flaunting her freedom by appearing nearly everywhere barefoot and in short shorts, hard-core flirting with men even within eyesight of Cope. “We knew she did these things, but we had to figure out why,” says van Houten. “So Paula (the director) and I talked about her motivation a lot. I have to talk about my roles until I completely understand them. Only then can I act my roles intuitively. We decided that given Ingrid’s personality, she flirted innocently, like a child, and not to hurt her lover or to make him jealous.”
