It's "Cosmopolis" Day In The UK & Ireland - Spoiler Post & Review From Irish Press Screening

It's "Cosmopolis" Day In The UK & Ireland - Spoiler Post & Review From Irish Press Screening



Today's the day "Cosmopolis" gets released in the UK and here in Ireland.
It looks like it's on VERY limited release here in Ireland.
From what I can see it's only showing in Dublin :-( ("Bel Ami" was limited but was shown around the country).
SO if you are lucky enough to have it showing anywhere near you be sure to go and see it and my advice is go more than once. It NEEDS to be seen a few times to absorb everything.

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to get the chance to go a press screening of "Cosmopolis" here in Ireland.
So I headed to Dublin & prepared myself for a totally new experience. After it’s premiere in Cannes and seeing some of the reviews from the critics I went in expecting Robert Pattinson to show me “something I didn’t know” and as usual Rob didn't disappoint me. But what didn’t expect was to be taken on a ride that would last a lot longer that the 108m 49s of the movie.



My review of the film is below. I've put it After The Cut (for those of you who are trying to remain unspoilt). If you go to see the movie today discuss it away in the comment section below to your hearts content.

And if you want to check out previous review posts you can find the here:

Robert Pattinson interview with Skip Magazine: Talks favorite Cosmopolis lines, pressure of making Mission: Blacklist & more

Robert Pattinson interview with Skip Magazine: Talks favorite Cosmopolis lines, pressure of making Mission: Blacklist & more



The interview is translated but it's still a good read. He talks about his favorite Cosmopolis lines, the pressure of making Mission: Blacklist and more.

From Skip Magazine: 

Not at all afraid of the daylight. Robert Pattinson now plays in a new league: In David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis” he doesn’t show his teeth anymore, but much more naked skin and an interesting personality. A SKIP-talk about festivals and the financial crisis.

SKIP: You were a vampire in “Twilight” and an animal trainer in “Water for elephants”, but the stock speculator in “Cosmopolis” is definitely your strangest part so far. What will your fans think?
Robert: Of course, “Cosmopolis” is quite unusual, but if just one out of a hundred gets something out of it, I’m happy. To me, cinema is more than just entertainment.

SKIP: You’ve recently said, you didn’t want to make any movies for teenagers anymore.
Robert: I was misunderstood. I mean, the biggest percentage of people going to the movies, are young people – it would be insane to say I didn’t want to make movies for them anymore. Sometimes it’s just difficult to make movies that are restricted by the American MPAA-rating. Everything involving sex is being censored right away, while violence is much more accepted – that’s completely crazy! I don’t think there is anything particularly bad in “Cosmopolis”. I wouldn’t have been shocked by any of it at age thirteen – and if you think about, that nowadays every teenager is probably watching some hardcore porn on the internet anyway, it really puts it into perspective.

SKIP: Maybe it’s more the fact that there’s a lot of dialogue in “Cosmopolis” that could scare young people…
Robert: Exactly (laughs)! And the parents are gonna complain: “Hey! I don’t want my kids to be confronted with so many words at the same time!”

SKIP: What was your favorite moment in this past year?
Robert: To be invited to Cannes with “Cosmopolis”. I had been dreaming about being invited for ten years or so, to be in competition here. All those years during “Twilight” I always got asked: “Are you scared of being typecast as the teenage vampire? Are you scared you’ll never get another job?” And now my first job after “Twilight” leads me to Cannes.

SKIP: Eric Packer, whom you play in “Cosmopolis”, is a very strange character.
Robert: Yes, but right in the beginning I found something to connect to him. It’s funny, everybody keeps saying how this is a movie about the financial crisis. But I was more fascinated by the weird kind of humor, and that it’s almost lyrical. I liked the structure of the sentences, they almost sound instinctively right.

SKIP: Which is your favorite line?
Robert: “What you are smelling are my peanuts” (laughs). But there is more which I’d better not quote right now (grins). It’s so strange to see how people don’t really know whether they should laugh at certain scenes or not. “Cosmopolis” is one of those movies, where you could feel completely out of the loop, if you’re not paying attention from the beginning. I personally think the movie is hilariously funny. Some of the things Paul Giamatti says, are really brilliant: “I am currently experiencing my Korean panic attack” or “I believe my sexual organ is retreating into my body right now.” (laughs)

SKIP: So you laughed a lot on set?
Robert: Yes, all the time! For instance during the scene, in which I cry and say “my prostate is asymmetrical” – that’s so absurd! That something like this becomes part of a movie, is ridiculously brilliant.

SKIP: Has your approach to looking for parts changed now?
Robert: Sure, I’m older and more confident. I was always afraid that I would never get offered any roles like this one. And to be invited to Cannes on top of it all, you suddenly begin to really see yourself as an actor. I mean Wow, I can really do cool movies as well (laughs)! I have very recently signed on to a couple of projects which, at this time last year, I wouldn’t have thought I’d be able to do. In one of them I’ll play a soldier who was present when they arrested Saddam Hussein. To prepare I’ve spent some time with the guy and of course it’s very important for him that we get it right. That’s quite a lot of pressure – but I like it that way!

David Cronenberg Talks About How Robert Pattinson Gets People Excited

David Cronenberg Talks About How Robert Pattinson Gets People Excited

I think we all know by now that Rob gets us excited but David talks about how he gets financiers & investers excited too in this new interview with Film4.com



Catherine Bray: Hello David. I should start by saying I really loved the film, having seen it twice now, at the premiere in Cannes and on coming back to London - it’s a really extraordinary piece of work.

David Cronenberg: We should stop the interview right now, we can’t do better than that.

Catherine Bray: [laughs] Maybe we can start off by talking about Eric Packer, who I think is such an extraordinary character, for which your casting of Robert Pattinson was such a smart move.

David Cronenberg: Well, as a director you have a lot of balls to juggle, just with casting the main character and something that’s obvious, I suppose, is that you have to have an actor whose fame will support your budget. It’s kind of mundane and it’s not really part of the creative process, but it is part of the pragmatic process of getting a film made, so you need somebody who financiers and financial people and investors can get excited about and obviously Rob has that.
