Ellise Shafer Jacob Elordi had to lose weight to play a prisoner of war in the new Justin Kurzel-directed series “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” — but to him it “wasn’t complete torture.” When Variety asked how the weight loss affected him at a Berlin Film Festival press conference, the “Euphoria” and “Saltburn” actor said it was actually “a very calming experience” to go through the process with his fellow cast members, whom he affectionally called “the lads.” “I think there was something quite profound that happened, in that it wasn’t complete torture,” he said. “There was a peace that sort of came over all of us.

‘Mickey 17’ Review: It’s Robert Pattinson x 2 In Bong Joon Ho’s Hilarious, Humane & Thought-Provoking Satire – Berlin Film Festival

Although it is science-fiction to its core, director Bong Joon Ho‘s first film since his Oscar-winning Parasite six years ago is in many ways a not-that-absurd look at where we just might be headed as a society.

Ben Whishaw’s Banner Year: The ‘Black Doves’ and ‘Peter Hujar’s Day’ Star on Refusing to Be Pigeonholed and Playing Characters Whose Sexuality Isn’t Their ‘Defining Characteristic’

Alex Ritman Ben Whishaw isn’t averse to juggling multiple and very different projects, but even he admits there was a point last year when things reached near farcical levels. Around the same time he was shooting Netflix’s pulpy spy thriller series “Black Doves,” playing a contract killer with a conscience alongside Keira Knightley, he was recording the voice of Paddington Bear for the marmalade lover’s latest family adventure, “Paddington in Peru,” while also rehearsing for his lead role in a new West End adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s bleak tragicomedy “Waiting for Godot.” “And all in one week! It was one of the strangest gear switches ever,” he says, speaking to Variety from his apartment in East London during a rare and brief period of rest for one of the U.K.’s most in-demand talents.

Ellise Shafer Jessica Chastain said her latest film “Dreams,” a drama that centers on immigration between Mexico and the U.S., is “incredibly political” — but she’s “not going to give up on my country.” Directed by Michel Franco and premiering in competition at Berlin Film Festival on Saturday, “Dreams” stars Chastain as Jennifer, a wealthy philanthropist who falls for Fernando (Isaac Hernández), a young Mexican ballet dancer who crosses the border into the U.S. — leaving everything he knows behind and narrowly escaping death — in order to be with her.

Robert Pattinson Just Realized That He Based His ‘Mickey 17’ Accent Off Steve Buscemi’s ‘Fargo’ Character: ‘I Kind of Did It by Accident’

Ellise Shafer Robert Pattinson had a revelation during the Berlin Film Festival press conference for Bong Joon Ho‘s “Mickey 17“: He based one of his wacky accents in the movie off of Steve Buscemi’s “Fargo” character. In the sci-fi comedy, Pattinson plays the down-on-his-luck Mickey Barnes, who signs up to be an “expendable” on a new human colony and undertakes dangerous assignments he is not expected to survive. Each time he dies, a new body is generated, and much of the film’s plot is based on the adventures of his 17th and 18th clones — who both sport slightly different yet equally strange accents.

‘Ari’ Review: An Intimate, Energizing Character Study of a Teacher With a Lot to Learn

Guy Lodge Film Critic For all the screenwriting manuals and maxims that insist on character goals and motivations and missions and all those things we’re supposed to have in real life too, there can be something riveting about a character with no plan at all. We never know quite where Ari, the eponymous protagonist of writer-director Léonor Serraille’s excellent third feature, is headed from one scene to the next, not least because he doesn’t either.
