While discussing her new movie “Infinity Pool” at the Variety Studio presented by Audible at Sundance, Mia Goth broke down one of the most-discussed moments from her 2022 film “Pearl.” In the movie, the titular murderous housewife auditions for a church dance competition and breaks down when she learns she didn’t make the cut, hysterically screaming “I’m a star!”

The moment has taken on a life of its own in the months since the film was released, with the clip becoming a popular meme on social media sites like TikTok. Yet Goth said the moment was born on set, without any pre-conception of how she’d play it.

“I knew it was an important moment in the script,” she said. “I didn’t necessarily know how big it was going to be. I don’t really like to think through the scenes in too much detail, to be honest. I do all of my prep, but I honestly think that my body always has far better ideas than my head does. And so I hope that all of the prep that I’ve done and all the work that I’ve done shooting will see me through. So I get to set and I feel it out and I see how it’s going, and that’s what felt appropriate in that moment. It’s an instinctual process.”

Goth also discussed what drew her to “Infinity Pool.”

“It was [director] Brandon [Cronenberg],” she said. “I think Brandon has such a unique point of view to the world in his movies. I love them. I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time, and I really think that Brandon is a real master of his craft.”

Goth stopped by Variety‘s studio to discuss “Infinity Pool” with Cronenberg and co-stars Alexander Skarsgård and Cleopatra Coleman.
