Teyana Taylor on the Moment that Broke Perfidia in ‘One Battle After Another’

Teyana Taylor and Sherin Nicole are chatting

Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another is several movies all at once. Of course, it’s about the grit of revolution and the tidy toxicity of the establishment—but, in its soul, it’s an action-crime-family-drama about going to the mattresses to protect what matters most.

Here, Teyana Taylor and I talk about that and more. After seeing the film, I said, “There’s a live wire energy—an electrical current—to Teyana Taylor’s Perfidia. We recognize the danger in getting too close, but also the beauty of watching her spark.”
