We spoke w/ Willem Dafoe about his role in Inside, working with first-time director Vasilis Katsoupis, and re-teaming with Robert Eggers for Nosferatu.
Willem Dafoe is one of the greatest actors of our time, and he's well known for taking roles that are both outside the box and outside of the comfort zone of a lot of actors. His next role, Nemo in first-time director Vasilis Katsoupis' Inside, slides perfectly into that niche as he spends the majority of the film entirely alone going more and more insane as the days go by.
RELATED: 'Inside' Review: Willem Dafoe Descends into Madness in Unnerving Exploration of Art | Berlinale 2023 This film really hammers home how art is at its most valuable as a means of human expression. Can you speak a bit about how acting is so deeply linked to that concept as an actor and artist yourself?
DAFOE: Just being trapped, not being able to go out, trying to figure out how your life has been disrupted and how are you going to proceed, and your future is uncertain. Of course, he has it a lot worse than us because when we were in the pandemic, it was a collective experience, and we were all going through it, so there was a great comfort in that, or not great, some comfort in that, where Nemo is very different because it is true solitude.
