With the strange and surreal aesthetic that informed much of Canadian director Floria Sigismondi's name-making early music video work (think Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People," or David Bowie's "Little Wonder"), it might seem a stretch for her feature directorial debut to be a biopic. The Runaways, released last week on DVD, is the story of the quick formation and dissolution of the '70s all-girl rock band, and in a recent interview with Exclaim!, Sigismondi spoke about her decision to stray from her usual approach and keep it rooted in visual realism.
"My work doesn't necessarily stay in reality, I like to go and make it my own little world," Sigismondi says.
