"It's always frustrating when a historical piece feels so current because we like to think that we've made changes that make history seem brutal, when in this case it doesn't really."The actress says the film examines how strange a concept it is for women not to have a say in their own lives, adding:"Birdy's fighting for bodily autonomy, but doesn't realise that that's what she's doing.
Dunham agreed:"You're so wise because the fact that you're a 19-year-old person who's able to say this isn't a political situation, this is just a basic human need is - I mean, you understand more than most male politicians five times your age."While Dunham is perhaps better known for her acting or writing than directing, she says it's something she very much enjoys doing.
"And I really, I love directing and... writing is sort of the well it all springs from, and then directing is this really thrilling extension of being able to tell stories in that way, and I'm really glad it's become more central to my professional life."
