The commercial success of her films can partially be attributed to how her stories resonate with women and their ambitions, but Greta insists her movies go beyond gender-specific boundaries.
“You love it because it’s great,” the filmmaker added.

When asked about whether female directors feel an added pressure to prove themselves in the industry, Greta replied, “I don’t know if it’s gendered. But I know I want to be able to make a body of work that feels like it’s undeniable in terms of the work itself. I don’t want there to be an asterisk next to my name. Do I have more of that than male filmmakers? I don’t know! I know plenty of deeply insecure male filmmakers who are plagued in their own ways.”
Greta told the outlet that she enjoys the “euphorically dreamlike” feel that the Narnia series comes with.
“It’s connected to the folklore and fairy stories of England, but it’s a combination of different traditions,” she said.“As a child, you accept the whole thing—that you’re in this land of Narnia, there [are] fauns, and then Father Christmas shows up. It doesn’t even occur to you that it’s not schematic. I’m interested in embracing the paradox of the worlds that Lewis created because that’s what’s so compelling about them.”
