WHAT HAPPENED
Actor Vicky Krieps has spoken about her decision to reject the Hollywood mainstream after her star turn in Phantom Thread, instead opting for indie European films. According to Culture | The Guardian, Krieps chose to forge her own path despite advice to the contrary. This decision has allowed her to maintain freedom to experiment in independent cinema.
Krieps has had success with this approach, appearing in both Hollywood films like The Girl in the Spider’s Web and Old, as well as low-budget French films. She has also avoided the glamour of red-carpet events, preferring to focus on her craft. As she notes, her determination to be bold and make unconventional choices has reaped rewards.
Krieps' decision reflects a lifelong instinct to challenge expectations and take risks, including becoming a mother in her 20s despite warnings it could derail her career. This background helps explain why she values the creative freedom offered by independent films.
