  The Notorious Bettie Page | Official Movie Site | Picturehouse
Mary Harron was working on a television news magazine program when she first encountered the story of Bettie Page in 1993.
Harron’s reading of Bettie’s religious nature stemmed in part from having spent time in Nashville when her father was a performer on the original “Hee Haw.” “Everything I read about Bettie, and knowing Nashville a little bit, it seemed to me that she had always been religious.
Harron had admired Mol’s work, but admits that the slender blonde actress had not immediately occurred to her for the part of the famously brunette Page.

 Film-makers on film: Mary Harron - Telegraph
The first time Mary Harron saw Mulholland Drive, she had an experience that was straight out of a David Lynch movie.
Harron especially admires a sequence in which Betty rehearses a melodramatic audition piece about a woman breaking up angrily with her lover - then, on the day, does it completely differently, as a highly charged erotic scene.
In conclusion, Harron cites an anecdote she heard from an actor friend, Justin Theroux, who appears in Mulholland Drive as a cocky young filmmaker whose career goes on the skids after the Mafia begins taking an interest in him.

 Review: American Psycho directed by Mary Harron
Harron's not spelling it out; she relegates all responsibility for the act of watching and interpreting American Psycho to the audience.
Harron softens this attack, making her male targets exclusively the upper crust of that decade's crème de la crap.
Harron then invites us to jeer at Bateman's submissively ditzy secretary Jean (Chloë Sevigny), but in a startlingly deft turnaround reveals her to be so endearingly vulnerable that even Bateman can't summon up the pluck to whack her.

Mary Harron's I Shot Andy Warhol, which was chosen to wind up New York's New Directors/New Films festival this month, is inspired by the legendary Factory, but the real story is in the world outside, and in the movie's portrayal of a character's haunted interior
When director Mary Harron chose Andy Warhol's would-be assassin, Valerie Solanas, as the subject of her first feature film, she was hitting more than just a cult nerve.
Harron is perfectly frank about the fact that I Shot Andy Warhol has taken fictional liberties while drawing from reality.

Demure and softly spoken, Harron's appearance belies her background as one of America's foremost punk commentators, who was there in CBGB's in 1975 to witness the Ramones' first engagement, was the first American journalist to interview The Sex Pistols, and back in 1981 wrote a history of the Velvet Underground for the NME.
Harron admits to not at first considering the blonde actress for the role, but then she changed her mind when Moll auditioned.
Harron insisted on casting Christian Bale as Bateman, and all went swimmingly again - with Bale brilliant in the role - until it came to the screening when, even before it aired, some were calling it the most disgusting film ever made.

  Bio for Mary Harron on MSN Movies
The daughter of celebrated Canadian actor Don Harron, she was educated at Oxford University and began her career as a rock journalist.
Harron began her film career as the director of a number of documentaries for BBC TV and Channel Four.
Harron was forced to cut the scene in order to secure an R rating, something that was understandably a source of displeasure for the director, as well as another example of the double standards employed by censors in their treatment of cinematic sex and violence.

MARY: It's harder only because there are things I certainly would've liked to ask her, not about being a pinup, but about religion, because....
MARY: Well, the reason why they didn't have her testify was basically because they didn't care what she had to say.
We actually had an early draft where we were in San Francisco, but in the end it didn't say enough, for a low-budget movie, to warrant the vast expense of adding another location to the movie and another section to her life, when really it was about her in the 50s.

Harron: I think it is. But, to me, most of the murders are terrible, and you can't make them comic.

NEW YORK -- Mary Harron is a preppy, conservative-dressing woman who spent 10 years making documentaries for the BBC, but simmering beneath her khaki exterior was a frustrated punk who identified with feminist polemicist and would-be assassin Valerie Solanas, the protagonist of her debut as a feature-film writer/director, I Shot Andy Warhol.
Explains Harron, "In her writing, Solanas expressed a lot of secret anger, confusion, and emotion that nothing I'd ever read had expressed.
Harron wrote the script with Dan Minahan, whom she met when he worked at a production facility adjacent to the apartment where she roomed with RuPaul.

A Canadian raised in London, Harron moved to New York in 1976, delighted to leave the stuffiness of her Oxford education behind to work for an alternative film company running its kitchen.
Back in London working as a researcher for the prestigious English arts documentary program "The South Bank Show", Harron was walking to work one day when she passed a used bookstore and found a copy of the "SCUM Manifesto" written by Solanas, a lesbian feminist on the fringes of the Warhol circle.
With Harron attached as director and Christian Bale set to star, "American Psycho" found a home at Lions Gate Films, but when a hot-from-"Titanic" Leonardo DiCaprio expressed, she dropped off the project she had nurtured to that point.

The film's approach to this mayhem is simultaneously shocking and discreet; even Bateman's outrageous naked charge with a chainsaw is most notable for the impossibly polished and gleaming instrument of death.
Harron's film is a hilarious, cheerfully insidious hall of mirrors all pointed inward, slowly cracking as the portrait becomes increasingly grotesque and insane.
Prior to the theatrical release of American Psycho, director Mary Harron agreed to shorten one scene in order to avoid the dreaded NC-17 rating.

 Mary Harron's American Psycho
I think it's because Harron and Turner view these men as vain and self conscious of their skin, their weight, their style of dress - association usually attributed to the fairer sex.
While I wish that Harron had not used Bateman's voice over to reveal how empty he feels inside, being a rather literary choice and one which goes against Bateman's very lack of depth, it certainly serves to get us on his side.
The movie puts us on his side as Harron allows the story to unfold, not so much because we admire his personality, lifestyle or disgusting and malevolent habits, but because he's really no worse than the other inhabitants of this bleak, bland and boring planet.
