Right here’s Rourke on the film:
“Undine Spragg is the unique harmful lady. Edith Wharton’s character has ceaselessly fascinated, seduced and infuriated readers. ‘The Customized of the Nation’ was Wharton’s nice American novel and Undine Spragg sweeps throughout America and thru Europe at prime pace, throughout a time of immense financial and social change. The guide whistles with modernity and as I used to be penning this adaptation, Sydney Sweeney lived in my head as this iconic character — it’s as if Wharton sat down a century in the past and wrote the function for her. I’m thrilled to be working with this luminous actor, Charles Finch, Alison Owen and StudioCanal to carry this novel to the display.”
