Plan B, the production company founded some 20 years ago and led by Dede Gardner, Brad Pitt, and Jeremy Kleiner, has such an extraordinary record of making stellar movies—and actually getting stellar movies nominated for Oscars—that it clearly should have been called Plan A. The Tree of Life, Selma, 12 Years a Slave, Moonlight—all of them were full of pain and beauty. This year Gardner and her partners have writer-director Sarah Polley’s tense, moving film Women Talking up for best picture, and she talks to VF’s David Canfield about the surprises and struggles that she and Plan B have encountered while making unabashedly challenging movies for two decades. “I think standing up to authoritarianism is essentially the issue of our time,” Gardner says of Women Talking in particular, “and this movie is a narrative inside of that vessel. I wanted to make it as big as we could possibly afford.”
