Canada MSN Entertainment spoke to the cast and director of the book turned film ‘The Moth Diaries‘ about the film and why it’s so much than just a vampire film and means a lot more:
“I think the ambiguity of… the script and the book was really interesting when we all read it,” says Toronto actress Sarah Gadon (“Leslie, My Name Is Evil”) who plays Lucy. “Was this supernatural or is this the hysterical behaviour of young teenage girls? And so I think that to categorize it as a blatant vampire film almost doesn’t do the film justice.”
“I remembered in my own life the intense, crazy friendships girls have in adolescence, and that has always interested me. And this love that they have for each other that’s very intense… There’s almost no word in English that we have to describe that kind of love. You can’t even say it’s platonic love. It’s almost a romantic love, but it’s between young girls. It’s before they’re ready for boys, in a way. It’s almost like their rehearsal, and they’re not really ready for the big world, and so they throw a lot of their emotions into their relationships with each other. I think that’s a thing that many, many girls do.”
