“Speechless”: Oscar chance for Austrian editor Monika Willi

“Warehouse” by director Todd Field – with Cate Blanchett in the leading role – was nominated a total of six times, including Best Picture. Cate Blanchett, who embodies the lesbian chief conductor of a large Berlin orchestra and uses her position of power to commit sexual harassment, was also nominated for best actress.

“The film was incredibly well and precisely prepared for the camera. That’s why we were able to make a very sharp cut,” says Monika Willi. The work took place during Corona “in a bubble, in a country house in Scotland,” says the editor. The final work was then done in a studio in London. Overall, the cut lasted from “Tár” just over three months.
