Jessica Lange is calling out the Hollywood film industry for prioritizing profits over creativity.

“There should be a law against such practices. We’re living in a corporate world, and it certainly has rolled over into the film industry. So much of the industry now is not about the creative process. I mean, obviously this is not across the board, but there are many instances where I feel like the artistic impulse is overwhelmed by the corporate profit motive. You look at some of the best films of the past year - what do they have in common? They’re not from America. My favorite was Anatomy of a Fall. How often do we get to see a film like that, where the ambiguity of things is never sewn up?”

With Hollywood focusing on big film franchises, Lange said that nobody’s ever asked her to be in one. However, if approached to star in one, she would decline.

Lange also made note of how the Hollywood industry has drastically changed with technology.
