Sally Potter and Patricia Clarkson on Breaking Hollywood's Glass Ceiling
You can tell a lot about a person from the way they behave at a party. That's clear in writer/director Sally Potter's new dark comedy, "The Party." She and actress Patricia Clarkson join Cheddar to discuss the making of this buzz-worthy film.
Potter reveals how the British political climate influenced the production. She says a dinner party was the perfect setting to reveal the inner and darker truths about its attendees. Clarkson explains how she got the chance to work with a filmmaker she'd admired for so long.
