VENICE — There is a message that social scientists and environmentalists have been trying to get across in this paper for some time. But you may not have really heard. Maybe you’ll need another messenger to get your attention.
Timothée Chalamet told the Venice Film Festival on Friday, “I think we’re approaching social collapse.
One might expect Chalamet to issue such a fateful quote when promoting “Dune”, in which his character presides over the destruction of an empire, but the 26-year-old actor has said, “Bones and All,” a new film that reunites him with Luca Guadagnino, the director of Chalamet’s breakout vehicle Call Me By Your Name.
But again, discussing “Bones and All” can put one into a more contemplative frame of mind. Although this is a romance, Chalamet plays his one of her two castaways, traveling together through the Midwest in search of belonging. A little miserable because our two lovers happen to be cannibals.
(Perhaps now you can understand why this meaty movie is coming out Thanksgiving week.)
Based on the novel by Camille DeAngelis, Bones and All follows 18-year-old Maren (Waves star Taylor Russell) who just transferred to a new high school. For now, she bites the girl’s finger hard. Mullen’s father (Andre Holland) was afraid of this sort of thing because he had a tendency to eat cannibals since childhood. So when her father rushes her out of her town and leaves her in the middle of her frontier, Mullen finally has to seek guidance from her ilk.
Luckily, she sniffs out fellow cannibals like Lee, the chalamet for whom she builds tender romances, and Mark Rylance, who plays a veteran cannibal who unsettles Harry Dean Stanton’s energy. You can There’s even a scene where Mullen and Lee run into a cannibal drifter played by Michael Stuhlbarg, who was so sweet in “Call Me By Your Name,” but it’s a whole different story here.
Guadagnino said at a press conference, “It was a pleasure to call out Michael, who was a loving father in ‘Call Me By Your Name’, as a perverted father.” of people want to draw a link from “Bones and All” to another “Call Me By Your Name” actor, Armie Hammer said that the star’s cannibalistic fantasies came to light and that sexual A career fell apart when assault allegations continued. Guadagnino would rather you didn’t.
“There is no connection between this kind of digital fraud and our desire to make this film. Said Deadline is last week. “I would rather talk about what the film wants to say than about things that have nothing to do with the film.”
Social media was a hot topic at the press conference for the movie. Although the film is set in his 1980s, one journalist felt that the ostracized characters of “Bones and All” struggled with society’s judgment in a way that could be likened to modern-day heaps. I was. -upon.
“Young now, or always, I can only speak for my generation, but it should be judged harshly,” Chalamet said. “Because you can’t go to Reddit or Twitter or Instagram or TikTok to figure out where you fit in, it was comforting to play a character who struggles with an internal dilemma.”
Co-star Russell added: [social media], which now seems like a hard task. ”
Chalamet agreed. “I think it’s hard to live right now,” he said before announcing his predictions of social collapse. What made him so convinced? “It smells like that,” he said, like Lee and Mullen.
But Chalamet was not entirely hopeless. He said “Bones and All” portrayed that disenfranchisement and lack of tribes in a way that could prove useful now.
“No exaggeration, but that’s why I hope these films are important,” Chalamet said. “The artist’s role is to make clear what is going on.”
