Thanks V!
FilmSchoolRejects sat down with Keanu Reeves and director Mark Mann to talk about generation Um…. Considering the lousy review they gave the film, I was surprise at some of the questions and the new ground they covered. Mark Mann talks about the evolution process that Keanu went through as he built his character. In turn Keanu talks about how the camera helps John to externalize and connect to others. There is also an interesting exchange on the use of 16mm film instead of digital and at one point Keanu says:
…but I would say you also explored a lot about not only contextual or emotional gaps, but also, cinematically, your foreground, mid-ground, background kind of explorations in verite and formalism was really cool.
All in all a good interview. You can read it here.
