When I was older, I used to be a sailor. But I drowned in a storm. The waves were huge! It was dark, and there was lightning, and I didn’t know how to swim.

Director Amma Asante on what inspired her to make Belle (2014)

Well, the story comes from the painting that emerges at the end of the film. My producer [Damian Jones] sent me a postcard of the picture. I knew immediately that this was an unusual painting and that there was something very special about it, because I had recently been to an art exhibition in Amsterdam that was looking at the history of people of color in art from the 14th Century.

What I learned from the show, without knowing that this postcard was ever going to fall into my lap, was that people of color were generally used as accessories in paintings. We were there to express the status of the main subject of the canvas. We’d always be positioned lower than and looking up in awe at the protagonist and never looking out at the painter.

But in this postcard, everything was the opposite. There was Dido Belle staring out at the painter, positioned slightly higher than Elizabeth [her white cousin] whose arm was reaching out to Dido, and thereby drawing your eyes towards Dido. So, I saw an opportunity to create a story that would be a combination of race, politics, art and history. And it went from there, with lots and lots of research.

The best film I watched last year tbh.

It was the film I enjoyed the most, that’s for sure. And there wasn’t even a whisper for it when the Oscars came around.

“Dear Lady Bird, I’m sorry that we fight and I’m sorry we are so hard on each other. I’ve been too hard on you. I love you and I don’t mean to be so at odds with you. I’m amazed by you. You’re so smart and beautiful and funny and I don’t think that you know I think that. I think that you’re extraordinary. Every time I look at you, I can’t believe you’re my daughter.” — Lady Bird (2017)
