"Black Mass" Press Conference at the Venice Film Festival [Transcription]
Did you have to find something evil in yourself to portray Whitey Bulger?
Johnny Depp: I found the evil in myself a long time ago, and I’ve accepted it. We are old friends.
The way he approaches the mirror, thinking “I’m gonna do something evil today”, that is in the context of the business he is in. Violence is part of the job but also the language that the people he associated with and opposed, they understood the same language. It was a language.
Scott Cooper: I’ve come to know Johnny over the years, socially and personally, He is one of the most soulful and kind, gentle human beings that I know. See him transforming into that (Bulger) is something I’ve never seen from an actor. Truth is, I think he is an actor taking risks most of the movie stars don’t take. He is a man I consider a national treasure, a real honour to work with, a true artist.
Did you (Johnny) notice fans are camping since last night to wait for you arrival at the premiere?
JD: They are kind enough to wait for such a long time just to say hello and welcome to Italy. Those people outside, I don’t call them fans, it doesn’t work for me. They are our employers, they are our bosses, they spend their money to go and escape for two hours, watching a film…I thank my bosses outside
How is portraying a real life criminal, who is still alive?
Joel Edgerton: It’s a matter of respect and reverence when you play a character who is a person who really exists. Not to presume that you know everything, every angle of the story. Everybody has a story and a point of view. (Thinking of) telling “the” true story is naive and presumptuous. There’s also the fear for repercussions for getting it wrong.
Dakota Johnson: I agree with that. Also this is the first character that is an actual existing person that I’ve ever played. There’s an amount of information available, and if you are lucky enough to have physical footage it helps a lot. Very different from creating a character from thin air… basically what Joel said (giggles)
"A Bigger Splash" Press Conference at Venice Film Festilval [Transcription]
Why did you decide to shoot in Pantelleria?
Luca Guadagnino: The idea is not connected to my [Sicilian] origins, it’s because of an instinct I followed when I decided to make a movie about these people [who feel] abandoned during the summer. I thought that the focus should be on the factor that desire plays for these four adults, four different generations and perspectives on the world, all together until the deflagration, it needed another player, a scenario that with its ancestral magnificence and power would punch these four people and put them in a raw confrontation with reality. Pantelleria, with its contrasts and violences seemed to be a perfect setting.
After some tragic events there’s a comic moment with actor Corrado Guzzanti, in which he appears to be making fun of the Italian police?
LG: His subtle greatness as a performer makes me refuse the idea that he shouldn’t portray a Sicilian policeman. For us, Italians, used to this great comedian prevents us from enjoying the irony and subtleties of this human – too human – police officer. It’s not a parody. One of the texts that guided us is the Falstaff of Verdi. With his great talent for melodrama, why did he bring his career to a close, aged 80, with a comic opera? Even though the arie becomes ample, with great depth and intensity. In the opera, the singers say in group “everything in the world is a joke!” Where is the joke in this movie? It begins with an image of enormous public intimacy, Marianne in front of loads of adoring fans, and it paradoxically ends with her deciding to be close to someone who she will never get to know fully – that’s the joke.
Besides, if we don’t make movies to take risks, why do we do it at all?
Matthias, your character is more internalised, especially considering the character of Ralph Fiennes, how did you approach it?
Matthias Schoenaerts: To some extent you are always affected by the people you work with, inspired by the people you work with. It’s all about synergy, [the other actors] are an influence on everything I do. There’s action and reaction. When you work you try to bring truth and sincerity to the table. You let yourself be surprised by what your partners are doing. It’s part of the creative process.
LG: The total immersive quality of his performance, the generosity of dealing with a character that has to go very slowly, with minimum variation. But we are surrounded by the drama and Matthias was so great that he didn’t care about the concept of showing off… but (doing that) he does show off!
Usually in movies there’s first an approach to the personality than the body, whereas in this movie you start from the body to reach the personality
LG: Yes, I couldn’t say it any better.
