.cmxvalentine caught up with Mescal and EmmaWatson to talk about the depth of their characters, how they choose their roles, and the film’s bleak ending.
in theaters Sept. 30, the inhabitants of a tiny Irish fishing village must contend with an issue as stark as the windswept landscape that surrounds them. When Brian O’Hara returns from an estranged seven years abroad to help run the family oyster business, his mother, Aileen could not be more pleased. Her prayers of her prodigal son returning have been answered.
As Brian, Mescal is an enigmatic figure, both charming and off-putting in his denial of his crime. Watson’s Aileen is a complex, layered meditation on maternal love. At first, Aileen constructs an alibi for her son, but as she begins to understand the deep trauma he’s caused, she regrets her decision.
Ahead of the film’s release, NYLON caught up with Mescal and Watson to talk about the depth of their characters, how they choose their roles, and the film’s bleak ending (It was a truly wonderful script, absolutely compelling. You could smell the sea, you could smell the fish and it felt incredibly authentic. It also has a very poetic sense of Greek tragedy to it, but it's also about a very contemporary issue. So lots of things really, and a great character and great relationship.
