“Mother”, interview with director Teona Strugar Mitevska and actress Noomi Rapace

September 6, 2025

Teona Strugar Mitevska: “I discovered so many aspects about her character that I could not, as a woman filmmaker and a creator and an artist, not take the opportunity and the responsibility to show to the world the woman behind the myth.

Macedonian director Teona Strugar Mitevska is back at the Venice Film Festival with her new film, “Mother“, to open the Orizzonti section.

The film starring Noomi Rapace in the role of 37 years old Mother Teresa portrays the future saint in the seven days before she was given permission to found her order , the Missionaries of Charity.

The idea of directing Mother came to Teona Strugar Mitevska more than 15 years ago when she directed the documentary “Teresa and I“, shot in Kolkata.

The director reveals: “I discovered so many aspects about her character that I could not, as a woman filmmaker and a creator and an artist, not take the opportunity and the responsibility to show to the world the woman behind the myth”.

Noomi Rapace shared Mitevska’s vision on how to approach this very important role and journey: “We shared the the same beliefs of undressing the, the myth and kind of going under the skin of Mother Teresa and investigate the human. And I think most humans will struggle with the same questions about ego, about motives, about, also, motherhood”

“Mother” isn’t aiming at celebrating the saint as it also shows the internal struggles and the pain and how much darkness she was expressing through her letters, her crisis, her manners.
