Interview unfolds as a tense and darkly comedic encounter between Pierre Peders, a pretentious journalist, and Katya, a self - centered actress. Set almost entirely within the confines of a car and a hotel suite, the film delves into the power dynamics and acerbic exchanges between the two characters. Buscemi's direction hones in on the quirks and flaws of these outsiders, using their confrontational dialogue and psychological games to explore themes of celebrity, arrogance, and social alienation. His choice to focus on such off - beat, unlikable figures showcases his penchant for shining a light on the fringes of society, a trait consistent with his previous on - screen roles.

In the world of independent cinema, Buscemi has quietly established himself as a force to be reckoned with. With Interview, he proves that his understanding of complex, unconventional characters extends beyond acting. His ability to create a gripping atmosphere with minimal settings and a limited cast highlights his skill as a director. By staying true to his niche aesthetic and dedication to portraying ，Buscemi remains one of the indie film industry's most understated yet influential figures.
