Love them or hate them – they tend to cause strong reactions – The Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos’s film has always shown resistance to arrogance and resistance to easy classification.

Lanthimos’ breakthrough in 2009, “Dog’s Teeth”, won an Oscar-nominated foreign language, is a dark portrait, a family takes family education to a strange extreme. The 2011 “Lobster” is a dystopian comedy where a single person can find a romantic partner within 45 days to avoid becoming an animal. The 2017 psychological thriller “Kill a Sacred Deer” centered on a cardiac surgeon and his family became a victim of mysterious illness after being cursed by a disturbed teenage boy. (You know, this kind of movie.)

Although Lanthimos’ latest movie, Gonzo’s movie “Favorite” may be the easiest to get to date – and, from the warm early reaction of the Venice and Telluride Film Festival, the Fox Searchlight release expires. Equally ridiculously strange and distorted will open on November 23 to get a strong award.

This film is centered on the court of the 18th century Queen Anne (Olivia Coleman) and is increasingly vicious and sexually active between the two scheming cousins ​​of Rachel Wiss and Emma Stone. Power struggles are centered as they compete for the favor of the Queen of mood swings. Oscar forecasters have predicted that all three actresses will participate as the award season begins.

On the morning after the film’s first screening in Telluride, The Times interviewed Lanthimos and Stone about the tradition of subverting the age drama, the joy of wearing a corset, and why you shouldn’t hold Lanthimos to make a superhero movie.

You usually watch a costume drama that looks like a movie, and usually doesn’t include slow-motion duck games or scenes shot through fisheye lenses or dirty language. Part of the appeal of this movie, can you take this sometimes stuffy type and open it?

Lanthimos: At first I was only interested in this story, but apart from that, this is a period movie and I have not made a part of it. I think it would be interesting to try to do something a bit like this type of distortion. What will happen. This is definitely part of it.

Stone: I just like this script, I like it is a unique version of the 1705 story collection. [To Lanthimos] Is it 1705? I have always said this.

Lanthimos: Somewhere. Don’t be specific.

Stone: But I like to be specific.

Lanthimos: Yes, but we don’t like this movie. We have taken a lot of freedom in this story.

Stone: [simulated horror] What do we have? Oh no! I told everyone that this is actually accurate in history! This will be the movie they will show in history class!

Emma, ​​what are your expectations for Yorgos’ work after seeing his early films?

Stone: Well, I think I saw “Dogtooth” before meeting him, but if I remember correctly, I saw “lobster”. So when I sat down with him, I thought he would become a mentally ill person. [Laughs] I thought, “Oh my God, this will be terrible.”

Then we sat down, he was so normal and sweet, which was very confusing for me. I just want to see what it will look like. It is a combination of the two: sweet and scary. In short, this is you.

Five years ago, Emma Stone was asked if she would use a two-week break in the filming of “Amazing Spider-Man 2” to play a role in Birdman. She accepted it, but she was worried.

“I think (to do this) is very bad, but I’m nervous about what it might be,” she told the audience at the Telluride Film Festival on Saturday, before showing her new movie, Yorgos Lanthimos’The Favorite. soon. “My nerves have been proven because it is very hard, technical and challenging, and I think I am crazy.”

One night, she said, “My character doesn’t smoke, but they gave me these herbal cigarettes. I have reached a breakthrough point. I went to the locker room for lunch at midnight. The chain smoked these fake herbal cigarettes except for sore throat. Nothing is given to you outside. Then we went out to do the scene, I was very angry with myself – Alejandro [Inarritu] just looked at me, ‘That’s it!’ I like, ‘Okay!’

She said she can use her resentment of anger, “I changed something for me, not afraid of letting my own part break through, the way I was afraid before. I am 24 years old. I am 29 years old and still learning. From that [movie], I found happiness and challenge in this new way. What I want to do now is to reach this breakthrough because the other side of it is so incredible.”

Stone, one of the festival’s silver medal awards ceremony, said her role in the “collection” has its own challenges – perhaps not the point of any such breakthrough, but the only American actor in the British actor, And deal with the tight-fitting corset.

“This is 1705, almost 300 years from any time I have ever done. It is quite daunting on several levels – it must be British rather than sticking out like a thumb; and [b] Breathing!” She said with a smile. “After about a month, my organs changed, I realized that my entire body shape has changed – and it has not gotten better. But it has all returned. This is the greatness of the human body!”

The film tells the fictional story of Olivia Colman and her favorite courtier Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz), whose relationship was interrupted by an ambitious newcomer in court, Abigail · Masham is the servant of Stone and the new darling of the Queen. Stone said that most of the movies are illuminated with natural light, including a night view illuminated by a “candle tray.”

During the filming process, Stone kept a low profile, just like her. She added that she avoided using social media at all costs. Even after winning the Oscar, she said: “I am basically a group of nerves outside my body. The interview is crazy for me, because any of your opinions can be replied – this scares me away. It’s not for me at two in the morning. But I respect those who don’t have this kind of self-doubt.”
