Florian Zeller’s film directing debut, The Father, adapted from his Tony-nominated and Molière winning play Le Père, takes the inside perspective of Anthony (Anthony Hopkins)’s slow slide into dementia, as his daughter (Olivia Colman) attempts to care for him.

We find ourselves in the hellish hall of mirrors of Anthony’s declining mind as Zeller repeatedly wrongfoots us—is the daughter playing tricks?

How can this be a different apartment? How much time has passed?—and we experience his shattering loss of cognition again and again.

Here Zeller explains why he always wanted to cast Hopkins, and how the medium of film added to the story.DEADLINE: The protagonist’s name in the film is Anthony and you had Anthony Hopkins in mind from early on.
