Translation with google translate:"I'm afraid," confesses Robert Pattinson.
"Fear
for an actor is always a good thing. He's also a fantastic, stunning, a
great performer" responds indirectly David Cronenberg. "The script was
crazy and difficult," the actor continues. "When I heard that the person
was him, I had an intuition. I know that Robert is a grand leap" echoes
the director.
Distance dialogue between the student and teacher,
working for months on the set of their first project together, for the
big screen adaptation of
Cosmopolis, the surreal novel by Don DeLillo.
"In
the year 2000, one day in April" Thus begins the odyssey, a long 24
hours, Eric Parker, 28 year-old multimillionaire who left home with his
white limousine to go to the barber, remains locked in the traffic of
Manhattan and is involved in a series of events that jeopardize his
safety and his heritage ... It would be impossible to describe in a few
lines the surreal journey the protagonist takes in a Manhattan without
frontiers, a sort of virtual town where the limo floats like a social
network and chat with other "traces" of humanity. Between tasers, pie in
the face, the threat of someone wanting to kill him (both as a person
and as a symbol of humanity no longer in the horizon) and the presence
of his mysterious life companion, ethereal woman, guardian angel and his
wife constantly betrayed.
After
Crash,
Cronenberg continues his exploration of the imaginary modern
metropolitan, hallucinated and perverse, using a cast which also
includes Paul Giamatti, Juliette Binoche and Mathieu Amalric
WHY YOU SHOULDN'T MISS IT: To observe the modern world through Cronenberg's look. And it could be Pattinson's professional 'redemption'.
