The Decameron Stars Zosia Mamet & Saoirse-Monica Jackson On The Importance Of Female Friendship
Summary Created for Netflix by Kathleen Jordan, all eight episodes of The Decameron are currently available to watch on the streaming service. It is loosely inspired by the 14th-century collection of the same name and set in Florence during the bubonic plague. The series takes a unique approach to the time period, telling a character-driven story of survival through a comedic lens.
Screen Rant interviewed Mamet and Jackson about their characters' relationship in The Decameron and what makes the dark comedy stand out within the genre. Saoirse and I talk about this a lot, that there were various different romantic mashups throughout the characters, but we felt sort of like the relationship between Pampinea and Misia was the greatest love story of the season. Saoirse said something earlier in the day that I thought was so beautiful—the worst her heart has ever been broken is by a friend.
Saoirse-Monica Jackson: I feel like we leave her in a place where she's just about to figure that out. I think that at her true core, she's efficient and wistful and probably a big thinker. I think that she's a "stare at the stars" sort of girl. She's got a lot of love to give. I think that's how she finds herself in that position because she is so loving and is so caring, and that is manipulated and taken advantage of.
I think truly original film and television is, sadly, a little hard to come by, because it's scarier to step out into telling a story or creating characters that are new and different. Kathleen has really created a world that is truly singular, and I think that that is a really unique thing right now. I think the character she created, the world she created, and the way that she's telling this story is wholly original.
