Dom Hemingway – Q&A with Richard Shepard and Jude Law

by The National Board of Review

Mr. Law, when you play a character like this, what does that do to you over the duration of the production?
Well, you pick up a lot of unhealthy habits! I was very ready to let him go, when we wrapped.

Cheap Thrills – Q&A with Pat Healy

by National Board of Review

In Compliance, you were the sadist, the controller. There are very similar themes here but in this case you’re on the other side.
It’s kind of interesting. In Great World of Sound, I almost play a version of the Ann Dowd character from Compliance.

Teenage – Q&A with Matt Wolf

The scope of the film is massive. How did you approach this subject?

The Grand Budapest Hotel – Q&A with Wes Anderson, Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori

by The National Board of Review

Talk about the inspiration for this piece.
Anderson: There’s this writer Stefan Zweig, who I had never heard of up until six or seven years ago. I read “Beware of Pity” – which I loved – and I thought about trying to adapt this book. But then I read more of his fiction and I kind of liked many of the pieces, and then his memoir, “The World of Yesterday,” ended up inspiring the whole setting of the movie. So I ultimately decided to do something Zweig-like, instead of adapting only one of them.
