“When the end is here the ALPS are near.” Concluding my trio of interviews with the folks from ALPS, we have acclaimed co-writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos who came off back-to-back prestige wins for Dogtooth (winner at Cannes Un Certain Regard section) and a Best Screenplay win in Venice. No stranger to TIFF (as he debuted his first solo effort with Kinetta) the Greek helmer treats us to a film about being in character, remaining in character and losing yourself to a character. In my audio sit-down with the helmer, we discussed his accidental involvement in theater work, his various aesthetic choices, the creation of his band of characters and his the difficulty of putting together a film when funding isn’t exactly in place.
