‘The Favourite’: Emma Stone, Olivia Colman & Yorgos Lanthimos Talk “Bizarre” Rehearsals, CGI Rabbits & More [NYFF]

In his latest effort, Yorgos Lanthimos takes on 18th-century royalty with “The Favourite,” a dark comedy loosely based on the story of Queen Anne of England and her closest confidants: the Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) and newcomer Abigail (Emma Stone) who battle for the monarch’s love. In what could be considered one of the best roles of Stone’s career to date, Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz stun in this unique period drama with contemporary flair. The entire cast came to the New York Film Festival this week to unveil the hotly anticipated film and following the screening the cast sat down to discuss the film as well as working with Yorgos Lanthimos. Suffice it to say Lanthimos, already boasting a spellbinding career, with past films like “The Lobster” and the “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” continues to prove himself to be one of the world’s greatest directors. Following the roar of applause after the screening, the cast sat down to discuss what it was like making “The Favourite,” the strange acting exercises Lanthimos asked cast members to do and an exclusive look into how they got involved in this unique project.

Asked about what drew him to the film Lanthimos replied, “I guess when I immediately came across it, the fact that it was a story about three women who in this point in time [historically] had this kind of power, and how that affected a whole country – the fate of thousands or millions of people – it just felt like an interesting thing to explore.” The story of Queen Anne of England is a tragic one and yet Lanthimos, scriptwriter Tony McNamara, and the cast effortlessly and effectively inject this story with a darkly sharp sense of humor. On the comedic elements in the film, Lanthimos remarked that in part, it was an interesting way to approach the subject matter and humor is something that he “can’t get away from, no matter what.”

The rebellious spirit of the film is spearheaded by its contemporary elements. “We tried to add a few contemporary pieces to the film … some of it was the physicality of the characters and actors,” noted Lanthimos. “Sometimes we did it in subtle ways and in others not so much.”

Ultimately Colman said that the cast felt sad when it was all over, “I will admit I felt slightly bereft when we were done,” she lamented. Stone, Hoult and Joe Alwyn echoed the same sentiments.

Alwyn added, “Being able to work with such an amazing cast is so refreshing and to be part of a project so different from what I am accustomed to seeing is exciting.” Olivia Colman gushed, “I knew we’d be friends for life [after the shoot], and I know people always say that and I do think its bollocks a lot of the time but we really did have a genuinely lovely time making this film.”
Em seu último esforço, Yorgos Lanthimos assume a realeza do século 18 com “The Favorite”, uma comédia sombria baseada na história da rainha Ana da Inglaterra e seus confidentes mais próximos: Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) e a recém-chegada Abigail (Emma Stone) que lutam pelo amor do monarca.

No que poderia ser considerado um dos melhores papéis da carreira de Stone até o momento, Olivia Colman e Rachel Weisz chocam neste drama de época único com um toque contemporâneo. Todo o elenco chegou ao New York Film Festival nesta semana, para revelar o filme muito aguardado e após a exibição, o elenco se sentou para discutir o filme, além de trabalhar com  Yorgos Lanthimos. Basta dizer que Lanthimos, já tendo uma carreira fascinante, com filmes como “ The Lobster ” e “ The Killing of a Sacred Deer ”, continua a provar ser um dos maiores diretores do mundo. Após os aplausos depois da exibição, o elenco se sentou para discutir como era fazer “The Favorite”, os estranhos exercícios de atuação que Lanthimos pedia para os membros do elenco fazerem e um olhar exclusivo sobre como eles se envolveram neste projeto único.

Perguntado sobre o que o atraiu ao filme, Lanthimos respondeu: “Eu acho que quando eu imediatamente deparei com isso, o fato de que era uma história sobre três mulheres que neste momento [historicamente] tinham esse tipo de poder, e como isso afetava um país inteiro – o destino de milhares ou milhões de pessoas – pareceu uma coisa interessante de se explorar. ”A história da rainha Anne da Inglaterra é trágica e ainda assim Lanthimos, o roteirista Tony McNamara , e o elenco sem esforço efetivamente injetam nesta história um senso de humor sombrio afiado. Sobre os elementos cômicos do filme, Lanthimos comentou que, em parte, era uma maneira interessante de abordar o assunto e o humor é algo que ele “não pode fugir, não importa o que aconteça”.

O espírito rebelde do filme é encabeçado pelos seus elementos contemporâneos. “Tentamos adicionar algumas peças contemporâneas ao filme… algumas delas eram a fisicalidade dos personagens e atores”, observou Lanthimos. “Às vezes fizemos de maneira sutil e em outras não tanto”.

Em última análise, Colman disse que o elenco ficou triste quando tudo acabou, “vou admitir que me senti um pouco desolada quando terminamos”, lamentou. Stone, Hoult e Joe Alwyn ecoaram os mesmos sentimentos.

Alwyn acrescentou: “Ser capaz de trabalhar com um elenco tão incrível é tão refrescante e fazer parte de um projeto tão diferente do que estou acostumado a ver é emocionante.” Olivia Colman jorrou: “Eu sabia que seríamos amigos para a vida [depois das filmagens], e eu sei que as pessoas sempre dizem isso e eu acho que é demais, mas nós realmente tivemos um ótimo momento fazendo esse filme. ”
