Director Nia DaCosta’s new film Hedda is a daring adaptation of the 1891 Henrik Ibsen play Hedda Gabler. DaCosta talks with Elvis about not treating the original text too seriously, using physical spaces to define characters, and what Hedda surprisingly has in common with DaCosta's previous films The Marvels and Candyman.
