The director and the actor on the humor and pathos and tension and scary moments — sometimes all at once — in their prize-winning film.
Have you ever seen a photo of someone you've known for years that makes you change how you see them? I'm looking at an image of filmmaker Sean Baker taken shortly after his open-hearted, screwball adventure 'Anora' won the Palme d'Or, the Cannes Film Festival's top prize, an award that Baker never in a million years dreamed he'd ever win. Posing with the Palme, Baker doesn't look merely happy. Joy radiates from every fiber of his being.
No scene encapsulates that more than the stretch marked by the arrival of Toros , an Armenian priest who doubles as Ivan’s weary fixer; his burly sidekick Garnick ; and a brooding Russian, Igor , brought in for muscle in case things get out of hand. Ani does not react as expected to their suggestion that she end the marriage. 'I forget who said this quote, but it's, 'Comedy is in a wide shot; tragedy is in a close-up,'' Baker says.
