they Manning said with the SC tonight director and from party
leading actor talk about to locker the
the movie at the fest within the outta of competition section
own mister night a.m. the film is about a character
driving in the United or highway from Birmingham to London
a because a shocking phone calls don't makes his entire life the to the plea
change
and what made you click towards it is very particular subject
firm I just was looking for the
when I think it was important the tragedy in other words
an ordinary man and lock is a very ordinary human being
something a single missed I was looking for a single mistake that's
that happens and then his whole life falls apart so I was looking for various
ways that could happen in the
the one that I chose a thing it's something that could happen to anyone
and the consequences of vast
and every aspect of his life changes in the in the duration of the single
Journal a
we we do see only one character
on-screen ninety minutes 6 in the day Dakar
driving but it the feeling is really absorbing and the old yesen
never knows what it is happening next and what about the script
is quite different from all UT before isn't
yamina I hope is quite different to sprint to
sieve most things have been made before and it was
its I'm the idea was what what I wanted whirls
the spahn tonight was once a night at the feeling ever play the theater
experience firm but failed I'm
and I just wondered if the is another way if I mean that
the purpose of the exercise making a film is to get people to go to a wrong
turn the lights off in a look at the screen for 90 minutes
is there another way of getting them to do that and that was sorta
trying to experiment with how that worked in I mean obviously to make it
work
you need the best actor they reasoned that's likely the result
no subject model so that
technically speaking to finish shot in real time can you elaborate
a bit more about that yeah I mean we shots X beginning to end the whole
scripts
I'm either once or twice at nights
over six nights so that in the end we had
effectively 6 for we probably ended up with about 10 versions of the film
and then in the 80 we went in and picked up the best moments
from from all of those version so
it was shot is applied and
mister Audi there we see you on the on screen
again after the Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises said
what you paid to be lame and so how did you get the ball
in this project right now a.m.
well I I've always wanted what was the
a and a.m. initially I
it came from a meeting that we had but I was trying to convince Steve to do
a.m. to me a solid I wanted into I at the TV series
that the time agreed that C %um
anyway and he had a he had another idea mines
okay which is a and the CSU Steve that well with anyway
it came about a 30-page a.m.
documents which the idealism and driving from
one into the m6 to the other backs down to London whose entire life falls apart
in the car
a succession of uncles as a one-man show although there'll be other
cast members that but on the phone and it's a serious acute oksana
he wanted his he wanted a present an experimental piece of film
which excites me because you don't
you like them I love I love to work so and I love acting
and I've cross-ownership elected to try experiments things out so
it really appeal to you to a the much in where I come from
cross streets as an actor and as a as a a
and the things I want to achieve as I turn and with with other actors and
writers and directors so it was a it was like *** are but on film
and it was very risky and and and in fact in zinc will be easy to pull off
because it's a lot to ask you know it sit for an audience to watch
me or anybody forget all that for nothing for 90 minutes you know
a so it was a challenge but on on Martinez because you know this
transformation work and
that as of May evidence to try and build accountable ultimately the
the premises are you fascinated with the script that came was in tight spaces
it was a 19-page feature but because the two largest I specifically
ahead difference and they into Canadians we've been eats
relationship develops in such a way that it becomes is
and a %uh if you want a.m. a ticking clock
time bomb peace which is contained it was very exciting because it was an
accident
the if you like a kitchen-sink drama like don't look back in anger inside but
train crash that happens in a very small room
I and over the course real time in ninety minutes and its is
is is a very powerful piece and and and and but is very simple
where it so it's quite complex have a simple I think or those things
to me towards it a saga involves so yeah
as you said this area is really a one-man show I'm
what about either locker can you elaborate to be
more about this character it but accident is only one man show because
although I'm on the screen everything is is live feed
to the other actors with their on the day so when we ran thirty minute max
a.m. the actors were calling up the car at real time and had an ear piece in
assessing see
to real people talking to me some the life the live feed conversations them
having
a.m. I didn't actually have
a have time to learn the script so
we had to place and also cue in different places have the car so I could
read
some reading the whole film a.m.
which is exciting as well because it was could you could be developed something
like in such as als let's face it I'm so I'm
as a one-man show it was the ad technical a
excitement for me as well challenges that how can I create a character
well I don't know what the script is a.m. a don't know how the persons name
cheaply when they call me out
but I have to say I have these basic rules and parameters
and constraints and Steven Tyler what what boundaries I had as a carotenoid
this is a man who loses his temper this is a somebody who deals with
a
drama in the same way that he meets a on
anything with the with great restraint in integrity
and dignity even if you makes terrible mistakes a.m.
so you know ultimately approaching Ivan Lac Wis
and there was a basic character study a chosen to be Welsh
a.m. milo sacks and is questionable
yep to but a but that fell
a/c a and and you know like above the earth and stone and granite sand
and the working-class strong and strengthen reliable
a.m. the world and jumper on the ferry bid you know felt like a captain the
ship's captain on the storm you know and
we have the lifeboats sticker in the in the vehicle because you know he's
is is as if he's is in the storm in is this kept a nervous
a ship unease sailing captain ahab in many ways you know
who is a lot of classic characters the way into
very contained space in peace was a fabulous excise an experimental
filmmaking see and and and possibly because I'm completely on a rack
a nerd a vaccine I was a really challenging facing really good fun
really good fun C&P to it so
that states thank you very good answers and
thanks for being here and good luck likely
lock think like to thank you
