Rebecca Hall describes her directorial debut 'Passing' as a big swing that has profoundly changed her understanding of herself and her identity, breaking through past performances she felt she was trapped in.
Hall reflects on her upbringing, discussing the deep impact of her mother's internalized racism and its effect on her own mental health, admitting that she felt unseen and shaped by her mother’s expectations.
She acknowledges the duality of her public persona as an 'English rose' and the more complex, mixed reality of her personal identity, emphasizing the struggle to reconcile these differing images.
The film 'Passing' not only represents Hall's professional growth but also serves as a pivotal moment of self-exploration, challenging her previous self-presentation in the public sphere.
