Kristoffer Borgli, the Norwegian writer-director-editor behind Sick of Myself and Dream Scenario, joins us to talk about his dark romantic comedy The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. We dig into what it means to make films without a moral safety net, how Borgli writes characters without passing judgement on them, why he believes the best cinema leaves you mid-argument in the car park – and the power of the non-negotiable daily nap.
