Love this interview - especially the part about social media

Also this:

"[...]he relaxed and offered a Zen thought. “People will make the presumptions they want to make. If you start to defend anything, it becomes, ‘Methinks the lady doth protest too much,’ ” the actor said, when asked if he thought moviegoers would draw real-life inferences from his work.

“I mean, have you seen ‘Shame?’ ” he quipped, referring to his 2011 portrayal of a sex addict. Vikander, sitting next to him, let loose a sharp laugh."

I think you may like it. David Poland is also the one who tweeted he saw and loved the movie.
It's interesting. He described the actors and his opinions about them, which are amazing.
He says Michael and Alicia had an unbelievable chemistry (like "salt and pepper" ahah! ;) ) but he doesn't say any cheesy nor personal things, very professional. He also talks pretty much about Rachel W.
The interview is mainly about the movie, btw, the story and the meaning it has for him. Clever part about the catharsis. Also about life, the truth behind what we see of other peoples' lives and the fact he doesn't want to make movies with villains, just with humans. If you're interested in watching it.. well, it's worth it. Long but worth it for movies' lovers. Some parts about the making of the movie are also very funny :biggrin:

Btw he says very very great things about his actors (how Michael kept crying shooting some scenes, after swearing and promising not to do it :biggrin:), touching.
"I feel like a bad person sometimes, I always make people cry".
 
The dichotomy of having a "private" romance, yet using that same "romance" to sell a movie. LMAO!!
They have to, they know it's gonna bomb.
As for them not being on social media? What a laugh, I LOL when I read that. But it is interesting how in 1 interview he's talking about love at first sight yet in this interview he's tensing when asked about his personal life. Says a whole lot. Bottom line is, this man is forever private when it comes to his personal life. I think the Italian interview got lost in translation, in an earlier interview it was about the chemistry between the director and the 2 actors, now it got lost in translation and Viola!! love at first sight happens, then its about being private. Its either 1 or the other. I'll go with the other. No way he said he was in love with her, she's not in love with him either. everything they're doing and going to do is about selling this movie. And since its not creating a big buzz as anticipated, they're using the relationship to try and give it a boost. Good luck :smile:
 
Bit confused about 'TLBO IS GONNA flop' thing. All the reports I've seen so far from people who have actually seen the film have been very positive. The only places I've seen completely negative remarks (and very few that have seen it) are on the gossip blogs who wouldn't rate anything AV is in anyway, LSA being the worst of them. Every publication I've seen, online or in print have been positive. Suppose it depends on where you gather your information from.

Yes, I'm REALLY interested in seeing how this film is tracking. The embargo lift the day before release is umm, interesting.

All this promo is last ditch struggle to get people interested in the movie. Embargo lift the day before the release is always suspicious. I am sure they are aware the movie is not going to tract well with the audience so they have to make it interesting somehow! Might as well use the romance to promote while still talking about the fact that they rather not have people talk about their private lives.

I'm expecting mediocre reviews, but in this case, it's not suspicious. Venice wouldn't have taken the film without a review embargo hovering around the time that it premieres there (Sept. 1). And I have heard that the embargo lifts in the US on Aug. 31.

I keep forgetting about Venice. I have seen the movie and surprised that it got selected for Venice. Probably more to do with the prestige of people associated with the movie rather than the movie itself.
