BFI WORLD PREMIERE: ARRIVAL, FRANTZ, LA LA LAND, UNITED KINGDOM, NOCTURNAL ANIMALS 14 ISSUE 92 / 2016 FILM Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman took part in the London Film Festival's Screen Talks. The BFI' s president introduced the Lion's protagonists. The meeting celebrated their careers. Clips from The Hours, Moulin Rouge, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Slumdog Millionaire were shown. Nicole Kidman explained how her career began: she decided that she wanted to be an actress when she was still living Australia and she spent nights travelling by train to get to auditions. She grew up in an ordinary family and she had to build her own independent career with much effort and sacrifice, but we can all agree that it was definitely worth it. She is such an incredible and critically acclaimed actress. She also discussed her Oscar win: it was a turning point in her career, but she was lonely and she didn't have someone to share her happiness with. At some point, I told myself: I wanna fall in love, I am endlessely curious about human beings. I do feel when we make people feel, I needed to feel people directly: feel them laugh and cry. Dev Patel is a humble and hilarious person. He felt so embarassed when clips were shown and he joked about his previous performances. His genuineness won me over. He explained that his career began with the British TV series Skins, to which he will always be grateful. The Skins' director introduced him to the world of acting. He first auditioned for the role thanks to his mother: she saw a Metro advert while travelling on the tube. From being an ordinary Londoner, he has grown to become part of an Academy Awards winner movie and he has worked with an iconic director such as 'Aaron Sorkin' in The Newsroom. The meeting was really satisfying: both Nicole and Dev are far from being full of themselves. They are humble, smart and famous performers who can talk interestingly and wittily about their career. In Lion, you'll watch them powerfully portray an Australian mother who adopts a lost Indian boy. More at Guestlist.net Arrival Arrival is one of the most anticipated sci-fi movie of the season.
