Her 1999 film Romance was a particularly important one for Scafaria: 'The women in her films are so deeply complex and messy and sexual and often, like, unlikable on the surface, but still very relatable and empathetic. It’s what I try to do, I think, in all of my films: to find the empathy in the unlikable.'
