Andrew O’Hehir sat down with Keanu Reeves on the Wick set for his interview for Salon. Keanu was wearing a nice suit and was covered in blood. The author starts out by saying the following about Keanu and Man of Tai Chi:
Having spent about an hour and a half of my life in the company of Keanu Reeves, I feel qualified to tell you that he isn’t an idiot, as many people seem to believe. His directorial debut, the Chinese-made martial-arts drama “Man of Tai Chi,” is a clever, calculated and painstakingly crafted work, drawing both on the conventions of classic kung-fu movies of the ‘70s and ‘80s and on sleek, moralistic Asian crime dramas in the mode of John Woo and Johnnie To. If it’s not a life-changing cinematic experience, it’s assured and witty, with a few nibbles at the fourth wall
The interview pretty much stays focused on the film and can be viewed here.
