In Bad Behavior, the feature debut from writer-director Alice Englert, Lucy (Jennifer Connelly) travels to a high-profile silent retreat with her guru (Ben Wishaw). During her search for spiritual enlightenment, however, Lucy can’t seem to let go of her self-centeredness. As the title suggest, Lucy can’t seem to stop engaging in bad behavior—and the worst of it is still to come. Editor Simon Price tells Filmmaker about his experience working on the project, including how he came up in the industry. See all responses to our annual Sundance editor interviews here.

‘Bad Behaviour’ Review: Jennifer Connelly Goes Wild in Alice Englert’s Thrilling, Darkly Funny Debut
Lucy is looking for enlightenment. Dylan wants to prove her strength. And in “Bad Behaviour,” both mother and daughter will find their way there. Well, eventually.
First off, we’ll dispatch with the sadly necessary disclaimer: Englert is, as the Internet would love for us all to repeatedly yell about for mostly boring ends, a “nepo baby.” The daughter of Oscar-winning filmmaker Jane Campion and fellow director Colin Englert, Englert has long dedicated herself to her own artistic career. She’s an actress, writer, singer, and songwriter, and with “Bad Behaviour,” she ascends to feature filmmaker status (she’s got two short films under her belt already).
Perhaps it’s the talent in her genes, perhaps it’s her unique life experience, perhaps some combo of that and more, but Englert is already a formidable, fully formed filmmaker. Dumb labels be damned: She’s the real deal, and “Bad Behaviour” is proof positive of that.

A poignant blend of science and culture, Ajitpal Singh’s feature debut Fire in the Mountains was inspired by the director’s own experiences with religiously-influenced loss, conceived in the aftermath of his close cousin’s death. An enigmatic and intoxicating experience, Singh weaves a subtly complex narrative through a family’s multicultural conflict between healing through science versus religious faith.
Residing at the top of a Himalayan mountain in the Northern Indian village of Uttarakhand, Chandra (Vinamrata Rai), the mother of a wheelchair-using boy, attempts to save enough money to properly treat and take care of her son. When the only medical provider in the small village fails to find a diagnosis, she moves on with the goal of building a road to take her son Prakash (Mayank Singh) to physiotherapy. However, Chandra’s husband, Dharam (Chandan Bisht)––a fervent believer in traditional religion––disagrees heavily with Chandra’s science-based methods.
