Mariana di Girólamo discusses role in Martin McDonagh film

Chilean actress Mariana di Girólamo has shared insights into her preparation for the film ‘Wild Horse Nine’, directed by Martin McDonagh. The production follows two CIA agents sent to a remote Chilean island on the eve of the 1973 coup.

Di Girólamo, a native Spanish speaker, noted the intensive process of mastering the idiosyncratic English dialogue required for the script. She described the experience of beginning to dream in English as a sign of her immersion in the role.

After studying at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, di Girólamo gained recognition through her role in Pablo Larraín’s ‘Ema’, which eventually led to her involvement in this American production.
