The Father, premiering February 26. Sean Gleason, Courtesy Sony Pictures Classics.
The brilliantly constructed, poignantly dramatic movie, which has been a hit at film festivals around the world and is currently nominated for four Golden Globes including best picture and best screenplay as well as nods for Colman and Hopkins makes use of the condition Hopkins’s character finds himself in by giving the audience a taste of that same confusion. Over the course of the movie, sets change, lines are repeated with ever-shifting meaning, and the sense that something’s off is nearly impossible to shake. Despite the unease, it’s also a marvelous showcase for a career-best Hopkins and Colman that asks big questions about family, perception, the realities we create, and the meaning of truth. Here, Colman and writer-director Florian Zeller discuss making the movie and the questions it left them with.
