\nEmily Watson is one of the most lauded actors working today, having earned multiple Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations, as well as winning a Silver Bear in Berlin, a European Film Award and a SAG Award. But growing up in a religious cult almost ended her illustrious career before it even began.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking at the Sarajevo Film Festival, where she is presiding over the jury as well as receiving an honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award, the \u201cChernobyl\u201d star spoke candidly about the experience of growing up as part of the School of Philosophy and Economic Science. The London-based organization advocates for conservative values, with strictly traditional gender roles and sexual ethics, and has often been described by former members as a sect, new religious movement, and a cult, with Watson describing it as the latter.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cParts of it were very happy, and parts of it were very strange,\u201d she recalled. \u201cI think a lot of artists have themes in their childhood that they have to overcome. I was born into a very lovely family, but I grew up in a kind of religious cult that was very strict. I was a very devotional young person. I felt very strongly about it. It took me a while to find my way because of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWatson credits acting with \u201csaving her life.\u201d While she began her performing career on stage as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company, it was Lars von Trier\u2019s \u201cBreaking the Waves\u201d that sent the actor into international prominence. The 1996 drama saw Watson play Bess McNeill, a young woman living in a repressed, deeply religious community in the north of Scotland. There, she falls in love with a Danish oil worker played by Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd. When he suffers a life-altering accident, Watson embarks on a sexual journey that contradicts the strict moral guidelines of her community.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen \u201cBreaking the Waves\u201d premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1996, Watson\u2019s religious upbringing was not widely known. According to the actor, it took her a \u201clifetime\u201d to process her childhood, but she can now see the stark parallels between her personal life and the breakout role that landed her a first Oscar nomination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI did know that I had an affinity with this character,\u201d she said of Bess. \u201cThere is an interesting part to this story that, when I told the people at the School of Economic Science that I was going to do a film and they inquired as to the nature of it, I was summoned and told in no uncertain terms that I was not to do this. I was told to go on my undignified way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat moment was a rupture,\u201d she went on. \u201cThis is where I\u2019d grown up, where my friends were, and I walked away. I was desperately upset, but I also had a sense that my heart was taking flight. An incredible freedom. I knew in that moment that I should trust that feeling, because my true inner self sent me on the right path. But that sense of rupture, when there\u2019s a sort of a nuclear explosion and an exposure to light and energy\u2026 All of that is in the movie. That\u2019s part of why it works, because I was like a piece of wire being unplugged.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tStill, despite this cataclysmic synergy between art and real life, Watson did not tell Skarsg\u00e5rd about her upbringing until 2016, when they shared the screen again in the hit show \u201cChernobyl.\u201d \u201cHe literally did a spit take,\u201d she recalled. \u201cIt felt so private at the time [of shooting the film]. I didn\u2019t understand what was happening to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWatson has become more comfortable and open about talking about her past in the last decade, which she credits to a wide \u201csocietal understanding\u201d of how it is \u201chealthy to explore the damage that happens in your childhood.\u201d \u201cIn the early 1990s, that wasn\u2019t a thing in the way that it is now. It has taken me a lifetime to unpick it all. I wouldn\u2019t have been able to articulate any of this [in 1996]. I was very defensive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThat defensiveness, she said, was also very visible during her time at Cannes with \u201cBreaking the Waves.\u201d Recalling the overwhelming experience of doing a press conference at the French fete, Watson said she now realizes how \u201creserved\u201d she came across as. The high-pressure environment had the young performer closing up, with Watson recalling how all she could think about was wanting to \u201ccome off as the most normal, boring person in the world, because to let anybody in, to let anybody know anything about me, isn\u2019t safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHer parents, who were still attached to the religious group, went with their daughter to the festival. \u201cIt was sort of uncomfortable because they, on one hand, supported me and were very lovely about it,\u201d she said. \u201cMy dad, coming out of this screening, was the color of this [white] dress. Any father watching that film would have that reaction. But at the same time they didn\u2019t speak on my behalf in the organization, so it was a very complex situation. But we matured, we communicated, and we were good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBeing on the Oscar trail for both \u201cBreaking the Waves\u201d and Anand Tucker\u2019s \u201cHilary and Jackie\u201d was equally overwhelming, but Watson recognizes that awards campaigns have become \u201cmuch more extreme\u201d in the years since. \u201cThe commercial nature of it is sad because it is not a true meritocracy. It\u2019s about money, which makes a festival like this so beautiful. It\u2019s very pure and lovely swimming in the river of storytelling here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the conversation, Watson spoke about wanting to work with more female directors, despite not having done so often throughout her career. \u201cThat\u2019s not me, that\u2019s the industry,\u201d she emphasized. \u201cThere are obviously a lot of brilliant female [directors]. But the fight to get to that level is a lot easier for men.\u201d She noted how \u201cincredible\u201d the experience was of working with Chloe Zhao on \u201cHamnet.\u201d \u201cShe takes you on a spiritual journey and makes the movie about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked by a Palestinian audience member about the difficulties that marginalized actors have in entering a highly competitive industry, particularly those who work in war-torn countries, Watson said it is an \u201cimaginative leap\u201d for her to imagine how hard that must be. \u201cWhat I do say to everybody is that Shakespeare belongs to Palestine as much as everywhere else.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor recalled watching Michael Winterbottom\u2019s \u201cWelcome to Sarajevo\u201d the night prior and realizing how \u201cstorytelling advocating for a place or people is so powerful.\u201d \u201cWe are all in that river of creativity. I totally understand that resources are very sparse. I think a camera is a camera is a camera, and if you are open, it can see you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for what is next for Watson, the actor is set to appear on the second season of HBO Max\u2019s \u201cDune: Prophecy,\u201d as well as star in Mira Nair\u2019s historical drama \u201cAMRI.\u201d She also told Screen International during Sarajevo that she will appear in Mackenzie Crook\u2019s directorial debut, \u201cMars Express,\u201d alongside Toby Jones. The film tells the real-life story of Colin and Judith Pillinger and their mission to find life on Mars in the late 1990s.<\/p>\n
