François Arnaud & Alex Sarrigeorgiou at Edinburgh Film Festival, 2025
ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE
At the Edinburgh Film Festival
Audio ON 🔊 Funny bit from Fran Healy's conversation with Daniel Brühl for the 2021 Edinburgh International Film Festival. This is Daniel elaborating on what it was like seeing himself on the big screen for the first time.
I love this interview. He's totally engaged and relaxed because he's mostly just shooting the shit with a friend. The convo is mostly centered around cinema and their relationship with it but through it, you get a glimpse of Daniel's life as a dad, as a celeb, and as a teenager. Even talks about his first date at one point. My favorite part though was when they discussed something I've always wondered about: being in (what turns out to be) an awful movie and having to promote it.
Here are excerpts from Daniel's candid answer: "That is the worst part. If you have to sell it. You have this rotten carpet. You have to sell this shit, it's terrible. It's soul-destroying. It's part of the game. You have to be professional. But God, I have sat in hotel rooms afterwards with maybe a good single malt whiskey and thinking, like, what the hell happened to this film? Why did I accept to do it in the first place? And then looking back, I still know in each case why." "...it's just part of the game. It's also the fascination because it's unpredictable. You never know if it's gonna work out or not, even if you have a good script, even if you have a talented filmmaker, so much can happen on the way. But God, yes, there are stinkers in my life." He never mentions the titles of course, but I bet The Face of an Angel was at the top of his mind 😅
Paul Gross kicking leaves around at the grand old lovable age of 56. According to his radio interview at Edmonton AM 8 am, he'd already sampled a beer for Oktoberfest (but I doubt it and this seems like 100% Paul Gross being Paul Gross kicking the leafs)
