The director and star of Cha Cha Real Smooth on how his real life influenced the runaway Sundance hit.
on how his real life influenced the runaway Sundance hit.
My seventh-grade year was the most visceral year of my life, because I went to this school that was 40 percent Jewish. I'm not Jewish, so it didn't mean anything to me that people were Jewish around me. But then, seventh grade hit, and I was going to a service and a party every single Saturday. Truly every Saturday. I had my first kiss at a Bar Mitzvah. And I just got super obsessed with this idea of this 22-year-old, who is not a man, at these parties, alongside these little men.
I really gravitated towards Ro, and when I met with Dakota, I just went hard-core and pitched the character. I came up with the character's name before the meeting. I really tried to show her that I see her in her movies and that I wish the director would've given her more space to do what she's so good at. Because she's so talented and so smart, and can do so much with so little explanation.
She's a psychologist also, so … I think it's something that I always felt throughout my childhood, but when she put it into words, it really told me a lot not just about her, but about myself. And that's why adding the 22-year-old into the mix was so natural. Writing that character, it wasn't just about me being obsessed with my mom, although I am. It was also about trying to understand what that says about the way that I was raised and my instincts to be the relief.
As a writer, really going into the feelings of this quite naive 22-year-old, and then going into the feelings of the Domino character, who is always pretty careful with him—and I love that about her. She's got issues, and she crosses lines, but I love how selfish she is in certain ways. For both of them, in moments, it's like,"Maybe this does feel really good.
