INTERVIEW: Pablo Trapero, director of '& Sons'
This dramatic adaptation of David Gilbert’s 2013 novel, co-written by Oscar-winner Sarah Polley and directed by Pablo Trapero (TIFF ’15’s The Clan), stars Bill Nighy as a reclusive literary superstar who calls his sons home for an unbelievable announcement.
& Sons explores artistic aspirations and mortality in this very original and entertaining drama ultimately playing with universal themes: reunited family members reckoning with old grievances, misunderstandings, and regrets. At the centre of the whirlwind is a brilliant performance from Nighy, pivoting between inebriated repose and dervish-like fits of anxiety, positioning himself as a tragic patriarch who might just hold the key to making things right.
