Director James Gray on Marion Cotillard’s accent in The Immigrant: “The big challenge obviously was her Polish, which turned out to be fantastic. One day, I asked the actress who plays her aunt what she thought of Marion’s Polish. She said it was excellent but she had a slight German accent. I confronted Marion and she said: ‘I know, my character is from Silesia, which is between Germany and Poland, I’m doing it on purpose.’ That’s how precise she is! It knocked me out.”
