Derek Cianfrance: Blue Valentine

Elvis hosts director Derek Cianfrance (Brother Tied, Black and White: A Portrait of Sean Combs, Run D.M.C and Jam Master J: The Last Interview) to talk about his latest film, Blue Valentine, starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, for which she has received an Academy Award nomination.

Cianfrance discusses his love of extremes – in life and work – and the need for balance, naïveté and ambition, his mentors, the demanding process of making Blue Valentine, and how Michelle William's acting style almost caused Ryan Gosling to jump off a bridge!
