Eva Husson did not have an easy time at the Cannes Film Festival last May. The French filmmaker was there with just her second feature film, Girls of the Sun, entered in the prestigious competition. “Immoral.” “Insultingly bad.” “It cheapens everything it touches.” Says Husson: “I’m getting ripped apart by the French press. The amount of venom was just insane.”We’re talking at the Toronto International Film Festival, an altogether friendlier affair. Husson is in better spirits here, still convinced that Girls of the Sun was the film she wanted to make.
