Bloom sale shifts horizon

BY JEREMY KAY

Judi Dench

Dench and Cookson on Red alert

BY TOM GRATER

Judi Dench and rising talent Sophie Cookson (Kingsman: The Secret Service) will lead Red Joan for director Trevor Nunn.

Lindsay Shapiro wrote the script, an adaptation of Jennie Rooney’s 2014 novel that itself took its inspiration from the true story of Melita Norwood, a woman unmasked at age 87 as the KGB’s longest-serving British spy.

The story follows Dench’s Joan, a retired physicist whose tranquil life is interrupted in 2000 by a visit from British secret service MI5.

Cookson will play Joan in her younger days as a student at Cambridge University who falls in love with a committed communist and, later, finds her loyalty to her country tested while employed in the UK’s secret nuclear programme.

Sales outfit Embankment Films is launching sales on the project this week in Toronto. Trademark Films duo David Parfitt (Shakespeare In Love) and Ivan Mactaggart (Loving Vincent) are producer and executive producer respectively. Principal photography is scheduled for October with the film shooting on location in the UK. Tim Haslam, co-founder of Embankment Films, said: “Stories like Red Joan can only be based on true events because it’s so unimaginable and utterly compelling — tense, emotional, revealing and unexpected.”

Embankment has four titles screening at this year’s TIFF, include Submergence starring Alicia Vikander and James McAvoy and Breathe starring Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy.

As the industry descends on Toronto, the evolving nature of agency business in light of WME|IMG’s acquisition of a majority stake in Bloom has become an early focal point. A number of people who spoke under condition of anonymity have raised concerns over how the transaction will affect prospects for rival sales agents, as well as WME|IMG’s financier and producer clients.

The agency’s packaging division WME Global, led by Graham Taylor, helped its client Ken Kao launch Bloom with Alex Walton in

2014. WME Global will now rely on its partners’ acumen and reputation to grow Bloom and enable WME Global to hold onto projects rather than siphon them off to a third-party sales agent.

Taylor told Screen International last week that he holds all sales agents in the highest regard and has every intention of continuing to service them with appropriate toptier product. An alternative view posed by those in the space, however, is that the investment in Bloom announced last week will create an environment of haves and havenots. “If I’m an independent sales

agent, even one with money, I won’t expect to get the best packages now,” one source said. “The other sales agencies should start to develop material or lock down first-look deals with talent and producers to ensure they get great product too.”

The development also raises the prospect of other Hollywood agencies following suit and buying sales companies. A financier client at WME|IMG said the agency had now become their agency and their rival. “It’s a smart move by WME,” one source said. “They are trying to own the pipeline and others should follow.”

Netflix has pre-bought worldwide rights from Film Constellation to London-set musical Been So Long, starring Michaela Coel and Arinzé Kene. The multi-million dollar deal is understood to be the largest single acquisition of a UK film by the streaming giant.

Been So Long is a modern-day romance set on the streets of Camden, historically one of London’s musical hotbeds (and the former home of Amy Winehouse). Bafta winner Coel, whose UK TV series Chewing Gum was a hit for Netflix in the US, plays a single mother who, on a rare night on the town, is charmed by a handsome but troubled stranger (Kene). The supporting cast includes Joe Dempsie (Game Of Thrones), George MacKay, Ronke Adekoluejo, Luke Norris and Ashley Thomas.

Directed by Tinge Krishnan and in post-production, the film is produced by Nadine Marsh-Edwards and Amanda Jenks. The project was developed by the BFI, and cofinanced by Film4 and the BFI with funding from the National Lottery. Fabien Westerhoff brokered the deal on behalf of Greenacre Film. Netflix snapped up rights after seeing first footage in Cannes.

Fyzz Facility opens door on Banishing

BY TOM GRATER

UK-based The Fyzz Facility is producing and fully financing haunted-house horror The Banishing, which Christopher Smith (Triangle, Severance) will direct. Robert Jones, Wayne Marc Godfrey, James Harris and Mark Lane will produce for Fyzz alongside Jason Newmar. WestEnd Films is handling international sales having previously worked on Smith’s 2004 feature Creep, and is co-repping US rights with WME Global. The film is being introduced at TIFF this week.

The Banishing tells the story of a young reverend, his wife and daughter, who

Christopher Smith

move into a manor that has a horrifying secret. When a demonic spirit possesses the girl, the reverend is forced to confront his beliefs. Ronnie Thompson (The Hatton Garden Job) wrote the script; casting is underway now with principal photography scheduled to begin early next year.

The Fyzz Facility’s James H a r r i s s a i d : “ We ’r e delighted to be bringing

Chris Smith back to the genre that he began his career in. We think The Banishing has the ability to rival The Woman In Black as a great gothic horror film.”

Maya Amsellem from WestEnd Films added: “We believe The Banishing will strongly appeal to horror fans around the world.”

The Fyzz Facility ’s upcoming projects include Three Seconds starring Rosamund Pike, Joel Kinnaman and Clive Owen; Final Score starring Dave Bautista; and Martin Campbell’s The Foreigner starring Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan, which will be released by STX in the US next month.

Roskam plots crime treble

Michael R Roskam, whose feature Racer And The Jailbird premiered in Venice and is screening as a TIFF Special Presentation, has revealed details of the third part of what he is calling his Belgian “crime trilogy”.

The series began with Oscar-nominated 2011 drama Bullhead, about the ‘hormone Mafia’ in rural Belgium. The filmmaker then detoured to the US to make The Drop before returning to Belgium for

Michael R Roskam

Racer And The Jailbird, the second film in the trilogy.

The third and final part, yet to be titled, will be set in the world of white-collar crime. “I am looking at money and suits — and a lot of decadence,” Roskam told Screen International. Set to

dramatise real-life events around the time of the 2007-08 banking crisis, the film will deal with corruption and blackmail behind the scenes in Brussels, the centre of the European Union. Matthias Schoenaerts, who also headlined Bullhead and Racer And The Jailbird, is lined up to star.

Confirmed as Belgium’s Oscar candidate, Racer And The Jailbird is described by its director as “a love tragedy”. International sales are handled by Wild Bunch.

The Shape Of Water Reviewed by Fionnuala Halligan Guillermo del Toro channels all the streams that make him unique into The Shape Of Water, pouring his heart, soul and considerable craft into an exquisite creature fable. A delicate homage, to both his forbears of Golden Age Hollywood and those who first captured the spirit of the monster myth, this is del Toro at his most poignant and sweet, eschewing the harder edges of horror and releasing a torrent of warmth into a precisely calibrated setting.

The Shape Of Water should follow the films it so lovingly references into movie-making lore; despite its lack of marquee names, del Toro’s fluid valentine will almost certainly attract awards attention from craft through to storytelling and performances, with Sally Hawkins so intuitive and nuanced at the film’s mute centre. While shaping a classic creature movie, del Toro has focused on its heart, and the result is intensely humane. If there is a spirit it embodies, it is that of Woody Allen in his Purple Rose Of Cairo days, crossed with the Universal creatures who fled hatred and persecution, and this Venice-Toronto feature should have a wide appeal because of it.

Del Toro gives the viewer much to drink in.

The era in which The Shape Of Water is set — Cold War 1960s — informs the aesthetic, but del Toro and production designer Paul Denham Austerberry have couched it in a baroquecoloured, industrial-like setting; a dripping netherworld, a fairytale land existing within

that time zone yet eternal. We are introduced to Eliza Esposito (Hawkins) in an aquatic prelude as she sleeps. She is, apparently, a princess from another time, although right now she is a lowly cleaner who works the night shift with her friend Zelda (Octavia Spencer) at a highsecurity government laboratory.

Scarred on the neck and abandoned as a baby, mute orphan Eliza is precise in her routine. Wake up; set the timer for her boiled eggs; some efficient masturbation as part of her morning bath; and a visit to her ageing neighbour Giles (a warm performance from Richard Jenkins) before taking the bus to work in the dark. Bad things happen at night, we know, and especially in underwater tanks in government laboratories during the Cold War. Eliza forms an immediate connection with a creature who has been dragged back from the Amazon by the menacing agent Strickland (Michael Shannon). Cruel-hearted Strickland tortures this Aqua-Man even as scientist Dr Robert Hoffstetler (Michael Stuhlbarg) recognises its potential. There is a clear homage here to the 1954 Creature From The Black Lagoon, which is visually referenced, yet The Shape Of Water manages to stay narratively unpredictable within its classical construction, even while its sensual layering of imagery consistently thrills. Multiple clips from old Hollywood classics alongside homages in both staging and camera angles are enhanced by a subtle score from Alexandre Desplat.

So clear are his intentions, del Toro spells out his colour palette in dialogue: teal, that medium blue-green of aqua land; and butterscotch for those with their feet on solid ground.

While finding his central love story, del Toro casts a warm eye on the troubles of the surrounding characters. The advertising artist Giles, a recovering alcoholic and tentatively hopeful gay man; Zelda, who lives in a world of casual racism and whose husband is deaf and mute to her needs; and then there is Strickland, with Shannon squaring up to the demons inside his character’s frustrated soul. He pokes the creature with an ‘Alabama how-de-do’, an electric cattle-prod, and the audience easily understands it is not just the beast who is being persecuted here.

Del Toro has crafted a magnificently empathetic creature, played by Doug Jones (who also played the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth), and set him in a Hollywood golden era backdrop where a song and dance isn’t ever out of the question.

Characters play their parts with flickers of, and music from, Hello Frisco Hello, Mardi Gras, That Night In Rio, among others, playing in the background. Eliza, who lives above the Orpheum movie theatre, tap dances. The almost-forgotten Alice Faye, and, latterly, Renee Fleming, croon the evocative ‘You’ll Never Know’.

At the end of the credits, del Toro thanks his fellow Mexican directors Alfonso Cuaron and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, who have taken their talent to the podium. His time has come, and how.

REVIEWS

Downsizing Reviewed by Lee Marshall Films about tiny little people in a big world — The Borrowers, Honey I Shrunk The Kids — gain much of their dramatic traction by focusing on how not to get eaten by cats and other survival skills. Alexander Payne’s follow-up to Nebraska (2013), however, offers a different take. What if human shrinkage were promoted for environmental reasons, to reduce our impact on a polluted planet with dwindling natural resources?

And what if flawed humans latched on to the process for a more selfish motive — because in a downsized world, you can live like a king for a fraction of what it would cost in the big country?

That is the premise behind a sentimental comedy that begins as a tasty satire about the commercialisation and gradual degradation of a noble ideal, then retools into a story about a directionless non-hero who finds himself. The two parts do not quite mesh tonally but it just about works, thanks largely to Matt Damon’s solid, anchoring central performance.

Damon plays Paul Safranek, a downtrodden guy who could have been a surgeon but scaled down his ambitions to look after his invalid mother in Omaha and now works as an occupational therapist in an Omaha Steaks foodprocessing plant. All stolid, inarticulate male heart and instinct, he is married to Audrey (Kristen Wiig), a perky, me-centred thing who likes to push the family’s limited budget to the max. It is this that makes the new procedure of

‘downsizing’ so attractive to the couple, and so many like them.

Presented in a 10-minute pre-title sequence, the process was invented in a Norwegian lab by Dr Jorgen Asbjornsen, a scientist ably played by Sweden’s Rolf Lassgard. So committed was he to the cause of shrinkage as a solution to impending environmental catastrophe that Asbjornsen had himself shrunk, becoming the spiritual father of the first ‘small’ community; a Scandi idyll among the fjords, which looms large (as it were) in the film’s final section.

Ten years on, downsizing has become a marketable quantity, with gated, domed and netted communities springing up around the world to protect the tiny inhabitants and allow them to enjoy their new-found wealth. One such place is Leisureland, a gloriously fake slice of gated Americana where little people live seemingly happy, golfcart lives in huge, soulless mansions.

Paul and Audrey’s road to Leisureland is played as a pitch-perfect skewer of a frustrated middle America in which aspirational dreams are repackaged in smaller boxes because people cannot afford the big ones anymore. From the Leisureland sales lady’s smooth money patter to the minute the couple’s now-huge wedding rings are delivered in a memento box that has become a truck trailer, it is exhilarating stuff, carried by some good Damon/Wiig chemistry. But a setback removes Audrey from the picture — literally — and Downsizing stalls before crunching gears and shifting to a whole new register.

Payne’s gentle comic vein does not let up, but it is less surgically satirical in the second half, where two new characters are introduced. The first is the now-divorced Paul’s upstairs neighbour, a Serbian black marketeer played with leering expansiveness by Christoph Waltz. The other is Paul’s new love interest, Vietnamese activist Ngoc Lan (Hong Chau), who entered the US illegally in a TV box and now works in the shanty town that Paul is amazed to find beyond a hole in the security wall of his Truman Show parody of leisure-class America.

Special effects do not feature as prominently as one might expect, partly because there is very little big-small human interaction, and most of that comes in the form of gentle size gags: we see small people stacked in special shelved sections of aircraft and buses, for example. But Payne and his regular co-scripter Jim Taylor are more interested in emotional journeys than cross-country ones, and it is with the introduction of Chau’s character that the film downsizes from sharp, brittle satire to mushy romantic fable.

Though inventively conceived, the containerland shanty town feels like another version of fake, this one about poor-but-happy people who look out for each other. By the time we reach the ‘original’ small-person community in Norway, Downsizing is busy having its sustainably tiny cake and eating it, gently sending up this midnight-sun neo-hippy community while also wanting to celebrate the environmentally sensitive values it represents.

mother!

Reviewed by Fionnuala Halligan Darren Aronofsky’s churning fever dream mother! is a devouring and restless experience: a creative surge that is like the lancing of a boil, releasing a torrent of despair and disgust for the greedy chaos of society today as well as a selfloathing portrait of the artist as an emotional succubus. Part-couched as a thriller but moreoften a wicked allegory, this is as formally provocative as it is thematically insistent, draped in horror tropes and religious overtones. mother! is a personal, end-of-days statement that expresses the angst of these times as well as a deep-seated and bloody loathing for them.

It is an unusual studio picture from Paramount Pictures: like much of the rest of Aronofsky’s work it will divide and stimulate audiences and critics, but should still be hailed as a bitingly original, strikingly unconventional piece on its North American commercial release September 15 (shortly after its Venice and Toronto premieres). Awards play seems likely, particularly for Aronofsky’s muse Jennifer Lawrence, embodying and responding to all his considerable neuroses, fears and desires, as an artist, a lover and a citizen of the planet.

A seemingly freeflowing gush, entirely couched in long, swinging, handheld single shots in one location, mother! is filmed almost entirely from the point-of-view — or the face — of the character ‘mother’ (Lawrence). (Accord-

ing to production notes, 66 minutes of the film’s two-hour running time is a shot of Lawrence.)

Dispensing with convention, Aronofsky eschews music until the final credits, and mother! has — at least initially — a strippeddown, bare-bones feel, a dogme Dogville in which an octagonal house is the rooted-centre and within that, Lawrence’s un-named ‘mother’ its source. Her partner, Javier Bardem’s ‘him’, is a slippery, elusive poet, while a malevolent Fellini comes to mind with the introduction of a louche band of characters led by an impressive Michelle Pfeiffer as ‘woman’ and Ed Harris as ‘man’, trailing with him memories of David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch.

Baby-faced ‘mother’ and the older poet ‘him’ are living in domestic bliss in a house she has brought back to life from a previous fire. An opening sequence tracks back from a burnedout room, and ‘mother’ wakes up alone, looking for her ‘baby’. As Aronofsky and DoP Matthew Libatique introduce us to the house, it is from her perspective: in fact, the camera feels as if it is swinging like a lightbulb, distractedly prowling the rooms and corridors with her.

Soon, ‘man’ appears at the doorway: he is an orthopaedic surgeon, and strikes up an easy bonhomie with ‘him’, who invites his grubby guest to stay, much to the dismay of the pristine ‘mother’. The mysterious ‘him’ has a creative block, and is clearly looking to play around with his guest. Aronofsky flirts with horror here: the

smoking, coughing Ed Harris has a flesh wound and regurgitates something sinister down the toilet. Soon he is joined by his gargoyle-ish, snippy wife Pfeiffer (fantastic), who spells out the sexual tension between ‘him’ and ‘mother’, even as she encroaches into their perfect world.

Brian Gleeson and Domhnall Gleeson show up as their feuding, aggressively demanding sons, and the carefully calibrated existence of ‘mother’ begins to shred. Aronofsky equates society’s use of women as a leech-like sucking similar to its abuse of the planet with an endless need for more-more-more, yet this is also an allegory, with Lawrence as the nurturing mother Earth. He also has plenty to say about the empty obsession with celebrity. In fact, it is hard to categorise mother!. Its style is a perfect meld with its narrative ambitions and they run in harmony with the current, chaotic times we live in. It, unsurprisingly, has difficulty in sustaining this world over the long haul, but the end does eventually justify the means.

As the eight sides of the film’s structure simultaneously cave in and explode, Kristen Wiig makes an appearance as the ‘herald’, whipping up the room. Patti Smith sings about the end of the world. ‘Him’ writes, and it is a masterpiece. “They love it!” he declares as the crowds surge. “It affects everyone in a different way!”

Certainly, post-Venice and pre-awards, they will be talking about mother! wherever it plays, and it seems destined for the same reception.

‘While there are more avenues, making movies is getting tougher and the margins are getting thinner’ Chris Lemole, Armory Films

Mudbound

GROWTH SPURT

In just four years, Armory Films has gone from humble genre origins to awards contender Mudbound, which plays as a TIFF Gala on September 12.

Jeremy Kay meets the co-founders of the fast-maturing company

W

hen the lights went up at the Eccles Theatre in Sundance after the world premiere of Mudbound, Chris Lemole says he and Armory Films co-founder Tim Zajaros cried. Park City premieres can be emotional affairs, yet this was more than the usual cocktail of altitude and post-holiday-season cheer.

The Los Angeles-based producer-financiers knew they had raised their game.

It was four years since Lemole and Zajaros teamed up, and Dee Rees’s postSecond World War race drama, which plays as a Gala Presentation in Toronto, was a far cry from their first feature, Zombeavers. “We love that movie,” Lemole says of the cult genre hit, “but the movies we’re making now are quite different.”

Several years on, with the same coterie of mostly east-coast investors still in place, the partners have emerged as an industrious company with eclectic taste.

“This is not a business that lets anybody in — it took a while,” Lemole says.

“We’ve grown a lot in a short space of time after people started taking us seriously. It wasn’t easy in the beginning but it’s taken a chunk of time.”

Armory Films, which technically falls under an umbrella entity called Zeal Media formed with independent film crusader and Dallas Buyers Club producer Cassian Elwes, arrives in Toronto with another film besides Mudbound.

They fully financed Midnight Madness entry Mom And Dad, starring Nicolas

Cage and Selma Blair. The satire shot in Kentucky during summer 2016. The Fyzz Facility is the debt partner and XYZ Films served as executive producer and represents global sales, handling US rights with CAA. “It was a ridiculous idea from Crank creator Brian Taylor,” Zajaros says. “The whole film is based on parents reacting violently to their own children… It’s not like The Purge, it’s a lot more fun and funny.”

16 Screen International at Toronto September 7, 2017

Mudbound was a tougher shoot, filming on location in Louisiana and Hungary in June and July 2016, when Garrett Hedlund, Jason Mitchell, Carey Mulligan and the crew had to contend with humidity, snakes and an exacting director. “Dee is such a perfectionist and when she says she wants something, it’s hard to say no,” Lemole says, adding with a chuckle that at times they “had to be producers”.

When Elwes and Kyle Tekiela, the editor on Armory Films’ second feature, the Cabin Fever remake, brought in the Mudbound script in January 2015, it proved irresistible. Joule Films held the rights and wanted to make a $5m-$6m feature, but Elwes thought it should be bigger, so Armory Films funded half the equity and brought in Charles King’s ambitious financier-producer Macro for the balance. It lived up to the hype and Netflix

pounced in Park City, paying $12.5m for the US and multiple territories.

“Netflix are fantastic partners,” Zajaros says. “I feel they love this film as much as we do. They’re giving this a huge awards push.”

Armory Films recently wrapped principal photography in Savannah, Georgia, on the sub-$20m The Peanut Butter Falcon, a contemporary adventure imbued with the spirit of Mark Twain that stars Shia LaBeouf and Zachary Gottsagen, who has Down syndrome. “Shia kept saying he had never had an experience like this on any movie,” Zajaros says. “[Gottsagen] cannot help put a smile on your face.”

Production was even tougher than Mudbound. There was the Deep South summer, not to mention the day-to-day considerations concerning Gottsagen, and LaBeouf ’s arrest for disorderly conduct and subsequent tirade against police officers, which went viral. “[Shia] is the first to tell you he has to keep his nose clean and it breaks my heart that all the public knows [about his business],” Lemole notes, insisting the incident did not cause any production delays. “But he worked so hard and developed a great bond with Zach.”

Armory Films has fully financed two other projects in post. Crime thriller Billionaire Boys Club stars Ansel Elgort, with Good Universe handling international sales and CAA representing US rights.

XYZ Films handles global sales on Mads Mikkelsen survival thriller Arctic, and jointly represents US rights with CAA and UTA Independent Film Group.

“It became hard to get your film noticed,” Lemole says. “While there are more avenues, it’s getting tougher and the margins are getting thinner. You have to be responsible to make the right movie for the right price.”

Zajaros agrees. “It’s really all about the material. People get excited about something that has a star but you must be diss ciplined and say yes to the right thing.” ■ Mom And Dad: public screenings from Sept 9; press & industry from Sept 10 Mudbound : press & industry screenings from Sept 7; public from Sept 12

SPOTLIGHT PAUL SCHRADER

Keeping the faith Writer-director Paul Schrader is at TIFF with First Reformed, the Taxi Driver and Raging Bull scribe’s feature about the spiritual journey of a holy man. He talks to Jeremy Kay

Ethan Hawke in First Reformed

W

hen Paul Schrader, the former enfant terrible of American cinema, sat down 18 months ago to write First Reformed, which has earned praise at Venice and Telluride, two things were uppermost in his mind.

Schrader wanted to make a spiritual film. The Golden Globe-nominated Taxi Driver and Raging Bull screenwriter had explored spiritual films in his early days as a critic, but oddly for a man raised in a Calvinist household, had never made one. “My career didn’t go in that direction. I drifted toward psychological realism and action and sex and violence,” the writer-director says in a rapid-fire rasp down the phone.

And yet Schrader says First Reformed, which screens here from September 11 and stars a quietly engrossing Ethan Hawke as a minister haunted by the death of his son, is the film he has been preparing to make for almost 50 years.

It was over lunch with Pawel Pawlikowski, discussing the latter’s Oscarwinning Ida, that Schrader realised it was time. “Pawel was saying that he goes back to Poland and for $2m he can make any film he wants,” he says. “I said to myself, ‘Well, technology has changed now.

I could probably get a film like this made.’”

The other thing he was fixated on was control. A contretemps with the producers of his 2014 Nicolas Cage CIA thriller

Dying Of The Light, echoing a clash in the early 2000s that saw him booted off the Exorcism prequel, flicked a switch inside his head. “Because of Dying Of The Light, when I went back to Nic [Cage] for [Cannes Directors’ Fortnight 2016 selection] Dog Eat Dog I had to have final cut.

I said, ‘I’m not going to go back to this man again and fuck him again,’ so I had final cut on that film. It was just a matter of getting final cut again on this film.”

And he did. Gary Hamilton’s Arclight backed Dog Eat Dog and after a dinner with Schrader in Cannes last year, returned for First Reformed. Schrader shot in Albany in New York state over 20 days in January and February. “You move very, very fast today and in 20 days you get more raw footage than you got in 50 days 35 years ago,” he says.

Artistic collaboration Schrader realised as he wrote that Hawke would be perfect as the clergyman whose sense of purpose is reawakened by a parishi o n e r i n n e e d ( Am a n d a Seyfried). “He’s now 46, so you can really discuss things with him as an artistic collaborator,” says the filmmaker. “When you show him the film you know you’ll get the (Right) Paul Schrader

‘I realised in the edit that 42-year-old Taxi Driver glue was still holding this story together’ Paul Schrader

opinion of someone who is smart and not the opinion of an actor who is vain.

“I said to him, ‘This is a lean-back performance: you lean away from the viewer — you’re not leaning into the viewer,’ and he understood exactly what I meant by that.”

Seyfried impressed Schrader, not least because of her commitment despite being heavily pregnant. “She had a cut-off date you couldn’t negotiate, so that forced the hand and got the cashflow going.”

The director of American Gigolo, Affliction, Adam Resurrected and Venice 2013 entry The Canyons has revelled in the range of his oeuvre, although he knew he would eventually make a film about faith because he says it is embedded in his DNA. It also seems he cannot outrun the legacy of arguably the most famous film of his career. “It was

only when I was in the editing room that I thought there was a lot of Taxi Driver in this film,” he says. “I didn’t realise it when I was making it and realised afterwards that 42-year-old glue was still holding this story together.”

While the crisis of faith in institutions and the established order that informs so much of First Reformed suggests a comparison with Trump’s America, Schrader counsels caution. “We were shooting after he was sworn in. You have to be careful about that because it invites a certain type of creative laziness when you have a target that’s so simplistic.”

Speaking of the president, Schrader got a visit from the authorities last November when he posted on Facebook that Trump’s election victory was a call to violence in a manner reminiscent of the 19th-century abolitionist John Brown.

“I think we are in a kind of John Brown moment. We’ll see. We’ve learned that political events can mutate very fast.”

For now, Schrader has First Reformed to savour. He is reminded of a line from Sam Peckinpah’s 1962 western Ride The High Country, when Joel McCrea tells Randolph Scott all he wants is to enter his house justified.

“That’s sort of how I feel. I can enter my s house justified now.” ■ First Reformed : press & industry screenings from Sept 11; public from Sept 12

PRODUCTION FOCUS BORG/McENROE

(From left) Shia LaBeouf, director Janus Metz and Sverrir Gudnason

Match makers

Borg/McEnroe is the first Swedish film to open TIFF. Wendy Mitchell talks to its creative team about diving into the psyches of two sporting icons

J

anus Metz has not made a typical sports movie in Borg/McEnroe, “It’s really an existential drama,” the Danish director explains.

“It’s not a heavily plot-driven film in the vein of Rush or something, it’s more of a character piece.” And what characters they are: two of tennis’s greatest figures, the tempestuous American John McEnroe and the cool, controlled Swede Björn Borg. The film follows their individual lives and ‘fire and ice’ rivalry, culminating in the 1980 Wimbledon men’s singles final, still regarded as one of the game’s greatest matches.

Metz was not a huge tennis fan growing up, but connected immediately with Ronnie Sandahl’s script. “It’s a story about two people who drive themselves to the edge and beyond to achieve a sense of belonging and fulfilment,” observes the filmmaker, who also saw similarities to his acclaimed 2010 Afghanistan war documentary Armadillo — themes of “young men on the edge and their journey of transition”.

For Sandahl, the story he wanted to tell “has always been about rage. Two boys

from two different cultures, both driven by rage, who learn to channel it in two thoroughly contrasting ways. Björn locks his feelings away and becomes ‘Ice Borg’; John acts on every single emotion and becomes ‘Superbrat’. This makes them not only each other’s opposites, but also each other’s mirror reflections.”

The film’s journey started with the two producers, Fredrik Wikström Nicastro and Jon Nohrstedt of Stockholmheadquartered SF Studios. Wikström Nicastro, who is also SVP of international production at SF, realised in 2013

20 Screen International at Toronto September 7, 2017

that Borg was “one of our biggest icons in Sweden, and there hadn’t been a film about him”.

Stoking the rivalry The pair hired Sandahl to research Borg’s life. At the time, he was more of a journalist and author (although he later became a director himself with 2015’s Underdog). Focusing on the idea of how the two rivals fuelled each other, Sandahl started writing in 2014 and, by mid-2015, had a script in shape to show directors. The producers were impressed immediately when they met Metz, the Danish director who burst onto the international scene in 2010 with Cannes Critics’ Week winner Armadillo and had also moved into bigger-budget fiction on the second season of US TV series True Detective.

“Because of his documentary background, he has a closeness to the characters,” Nohrstedt says. “We are right in the faces of these characters, we are inside of them instead of beside them.”

board, Wikström Nicastro explains the film was put together in “traditionally Scandinavian fashion” with the local film institutes (Sweden, Denmark and Finland) providing finance, as well as the regional Nordisk Film & TV Fond.

Borg/McEnroe was originally envisioned as a $4m-$5m project but Sandahl’s script received such a strong response from agents, actors and the marketplace that it grew into an $8m film, Wikström Nicastro explains. Presales covered that extra budget, and SF International’s Anita Simovic and team have sold the feature to more than 150 countries ahead of its Toronto launch (see sidebar, page 22). The film shot for a total of 40 days, with seven of those spent recreating the Wimbledon final scenes at a stadium in Prague. The »

Sverrir Gudnason as Björn Borg

Czech capital — where half of the production was shot — was chosen for the country’s 20% tax rebate and solid filming infrastructure, as well its many sites that could serve as 1980s locations. The production also visited Sweden and Monaco, and the second unit shot for a day in London.

And what of Messrs Fire and Ice themselves? Wikström Nicastro explains that their representatives were approached at script stage, but ultimately the sporting icons decided not to be officially part of the project. Still, they were kept in the loop and each read the script (as of press time they have not yet seen the film).

While Borg/McEnroe is based on their real stories, Sandahl also knew he had to take some artistic licence to get under the skin of the two men. “If you don’t have the guts to do that as a writer, then you don’t have a drama, you have a cinematised Wikipedia page,” he says.

Doubles match Sverrir Gudnason and Shia LaBeouf were the two actors stepping into these super-sized tennis shoes. Gudnason is a Swedish actor (of Icelandic heritage) with a rising profile in Nordic films including Monica Z, Gentlemen and A Serious Game, while US star LaBeouf has made a name for himself both on screen (American Honey, Transformers) and off. Despite his colourful reputation, the producers are proud to say LaBeouf “wasn’t troublesome at all. He was very collaborative.” They add that Gudnason, who looks eerily like Borg in some shots, “gave 110%” and was brave enough to take on Sweden’s top living legend.

Each actor has a distinct way of working, as Metz discovered. “Sverrir likes to talk, to try to understand every scene and feel it in his belly,” says the director.

“He slowly builds his way. Whereas Shia tries to be in character and build up a lot of energy that gets unloaded on the first

couple of takes.” Gudnason and LaBeouf did their own character work and preparation, including months of very physical tennis training, before the shoot.

“They kept a little away from each other to serve the purpose of the film,” Metz explains.

Part of LaBeouf ’s method was to “insist that Sverrir had the better hotel room and he got picked up first for transport,” Metz reveals. “For Shia, it was also important to treat Sverrir like this character he was chasing. He wanted to be the prince trying to overthrow the king.”

The king himself became involved in the film as a stage parent, when Borg’s

22 Screen International at Toronto September 7, 2017

son Leo, now 14, was cast to play the younger version of his father. “Leo is one of the greatest gifts we came across in the process of making this movie,” Metz says. “He brings such authenticity — Björn’s story is in his blood, and in his eyes. Shooting with Leo almost felt like shooting scenes in a documentary — it’s the living history of his dad.”

Remarkably, Leo was cast after responding to an open call for sporty youngsters (he did not know he was auditioning to be in a film about his father). “We trawled the country for an alternative because I was scared it was going to be perceived as a gimmick, but he was the best,” says Metz, who was keen to show Borg some of the scenes they had shot with his son. “We’re showing in the film that Björn as a kid had a lot more anger and things in common with John. He was very emotional and expressive — he got thrown out of his tennis club.

“I wanted to show Björn some of those scenes of Leo losing it, and I asked him, ‘Was it that bad?’ He laughed and said, ‘Yeah, that’s exactly how it was.’”

Metz recalls. “He was proud of Leo and he was also moved by the experience of seeing the set that was a perfect reconstruction of his childhood bedroom.”

Sporting challenge As much as the film is about the mentality of Borg and McEnroe, the tennis also had to look absolutely authentic. “We put a lot of effort into making the tennis look amazing,” says Nohrstedt. “Recreating Wimbledon and the tennis was one of the big challenges of the production.”

Metz adds: “We’ve chosen to treat that 1980 Wimbledon final almost as a film within a film,” during the third act.

“We had to work for six months choreographing the tennis sequences like dance moves.”

The tennis scenes also required lengthy post-production: the feature spent months in post from October 2016 until the final days before Toronto, with two editors — Per Sandholt and Per K Kirkegaard — working in parallel.

Metz was open to the opportunities of the story shifting during the edit. “What became clear in the editing was that it was more of a two-hander,” he says.

“Borg’s coach [played by Stellan Skarsgard] and fiancée, and McEnroe’s dad, feature as characters in the movie, and at one point I thought it could turn out as more of an ensemble piece. But it is really a story about Björn and John.”

As a Dane, Metz does see a “Scandinavian quality” in the finished film. “In Hollywood, they could have written a different plot-driven type of film, more heroic, more externalised,” he says.

“Whereas this is in the Scandinavian film tradition. It is diving into deeper character drama and existential drama. That’s where the script came from and that’s s what we were all interested in doing.” n Borg/McEnroe: public and press & industry screenings from Sept 7
