Edgar Wright Instagram – Tonight I was supposed to moderate a @directors_uk talk with @andrewhaighfilm about his magnificent film: ‘All Of Us Strangers’, but… alas… I am sick in bed and no good to anyone.
Hopefully, we’ll get to talk about it in person in 2024, but in lieu of our talk tonight, I’m sharing a link to my @variety ‘Directors On Directors’ piece in my bio. Here’s a little taste and read the full piece above…
“Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers” is so delicately crafted and intimately performed that it almost seems wrong to discuss its immaculate construction. Andrew, as a director, has a remarkable ability to create films that are both elegant and stylish, but never lose sight of the deep emotions of the story or the humanity of the characters. I’ve always been very impressed with his work, not least the powerful “45 Years,” and though his latest film left me, like the rest of the packed cinema I saw it with, devastated, to only talk of the profound sadness within, would be to deny how funny and beautiful it is too. Andrew has, once again, delivered a film that is so impressively intricate in its narrative construction and overlapping themes, that unpicking the intricacy of his tapestry seems wrong. Sometimes it’s OK just to marvel.”
Read the whole piece above and see this beautiful film soon. | Posted on 19/Dec/2023 22:40:47
