In Juniper, Charlotte Rampling plays Ruth, a gin-swilling ex-war photographer whose life is fading until her combustible grandson arrives. It’s yet another unforgettable character for the 76-year-old British icon to add to a collection of risk-heavy films like The Damned, The Night Porter and Angel Heart. She wouldn’t have it any other way. “Until I drop,” she grins, “that’s what I’ll do.”
Was it the character that made you want to do Juniper?
