THE FATHER Q&A | TIFF 2020

- Florian Zeller, Olivia Colman, and Anthony Hopkins in conversation with TIFF in advance of THE FATHER's premiere at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival. Hopkins and Colman star in Zeller’s ingenious, subtly hallucinatory chamber drama about a man’s slide into dementia.
The 45th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 10 to 19, 2020. For more, visit tiff.net.
Straight off a Crystal Globe win at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, THE FATHER is the third feature from the directorial team who kick-started Bulgarian cinema's international resurgence. Co-directors Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov (who world-premiered The Lesson at TIFF in 2014 and had their follow-up, Glory, compete in Locarno two years later) follow a day in the life of a dysfunctional father Vasil (Ivan Savov) and his son Pavel (Ivan Barnev).
Pavel is a far cry from a prodigal son. He rushes back to his small town to attend his mother's funeral, but his estrangement from his father is immediately clear, with simmering tensions soon boiling over as Vasil unleashes his (seemingly often-irrational) irritations on his son. Fed up with his father, Pavel also struggles with an urgent work deadline while evading questions and calls from his wife. A grief-stricken Vasil - who, it becomes gently obvious, is challenged by increasing senility - is convinced his wife is speaking to him from beyond the grave, and visits a local mystic with Pavel in tow. This is the first step in a series of mishaps that, against the odds, bring father and son closer together.
THE FATHER is tightly directed and unmistakably tender: a family drama that refuses the saccharine in favour of love's ebbs and flows, and the hard work the relationships require.

I literally just finished watching this movie and my god I can’t stop crying.
I sobbed like a baby
We all do
SAME! I watched this movie last night and was uncontrollably crying. Such a beautiful and unsettling movie.
It is a very powerful movie.The caliber of acting is INCREDIBLE!
I understand, especially the slap scene and the ending, he was really crying badly, I have a hard time watching this movie even though Anthony hopkins it my favorite actor
Sir Anthony Hopkins is adorable... a lovely grandpa. And Olivia Colman is a queen, that's all I need to say
the direction of this movie is impecable, great photography and music. And of course the performance of Anthony Hopkins blow me away, it is impossible not to cry and its so natural and genuine, he deserves the Oscar for sure.
I do hope this to come true
Just watched The Father and Hopkins gives the best performance of his life - which is saying something. Colman is amazing as well. Marvellous film! Thank you for this interview.
I honestly think this is the best film I’ve ever seen. I remember thinking exactly what Sir Anthony and Olivia Colman talk about here - there was not a single point in the entire movie where the thought of these people being actors entered my mind. It was so real. Both performances deserve the Oscar, they were both masterpieces.
Just watched this film and i cried almost whole hour especially at the ending when Anthony get lost and broken.
just watching this interview makes me want to cry... the people behind this film is so passionate, the goal to make people feel what they feel is completely successful. every person who made the film done is deserve everything, especially florian zeller, you are a genius!
man, I can't stop thinking about this film, it's so frustrating that I just keep being reminded of every aspect of it, such a perfect film.
It really is a beautiful interview
@@Sikosm agree, the interviewer did a great job too
What a privilege for this writer to work with these particular actors. I had a dream of Anthony Hopkins last night. Lucky me!!
Hands down should have won the oscar for best picture. Devastating and beautiful film.
is a pleasure to hear Antonhy talk about his act... i love this man - From Brazil !
This movie made me cry, in fact i called my mom.
To see Anthony so genuinely interested in what the director was saying, being such an important person himself, I didn’t realize how humble of a person he is. Nothing against the director as he is obviously brilliant, but it’s Anthony Hopkins!!
Wow. When Anthony got choked up I felt it.
Merveilleux acteur dans ce magnifique film ! MERCI
Look at them, how they are listening to each other. Seem like so invested and definitely the outcome is great.
Probably the what makes them great.
OMG this movie just squeezes your heart. Sir Anthony Hopkins is just treasure of the World.
The tragedy, sense of utter disorientation & helplessness of this illness was palpably conveyed in this film. So many tears. And the acting there just are no words.
Great movie draws you into every emotion and feeling gets all your attention. Masterpiece I’d say so. Anthony and Olivia made a hell of a film
Such a wonderful stalwarts star cast...the TIFF anchor has a very pleasing personality....
had to search up a video of the legend to see that he's doing fine after watching the movie. What a haunting experience. Hope he gets that Oscar.
*spoiler alert*
He DID get the Oscar
Truly deserved
It was so realistic, that I too was worried about Anthony.
This is absolutely a great movie. Too bad it did not win the Best Picture Oscar Award.
I've kinda fallen in love with sir Anthony and Olivia maam after this film.
When I went to see The Father at the cinema, I thought of spending a nice time, but I got destroyed after seeing the film. Besides, sir Anthony Hopkins's performace was so brilliant and at the same time, heartbreaking especially in the ending, which made me cry quite a lot );. As a result of the movie, Hopkins won his 2nd Oscar for best actor in a deserved way.
Wow what a tragic and heartbreaking film about a father with dementia. It highlights how our brain deteriorates with age and agonizingly loses all the memories we have. The film truly shows how it is difficult to cope with dementia. Seeing Anthony cry broke me down to tears because he was such a phenomenal actor. All aspects of the film including the editing, screenplay and score was perfect. And I’m happy that my all-time favorite actor win the Oscars, Bafta and Saga award all in one year. He is that good. 10/10.
Saw it yesterday. What a work of art!!!!!! Amazing film!!!!!
Can’t stop crying
Olivia: It was easy to work with Anthony.
Jodie: It was uneasy to work with Anthony.
This is actually a nice interview. I am excited to watch this movie.
What a dream of an interview ! Very humane, very touching.
Just finished watching this film. Mindblowing performance from Anthony Hopkins.
J'adore Anthony hopkins...respect sire
Just watched The Father yesterday at Gothenburg Film Festival (online). Amazing film. And these three people are just... terrific. Wow. Can't wait to re watch Broadchurch now, and also some of Anthony's films that I haven't already seen.
AMAZING INTERVIEW. I KNOW I'LL SEE THIS FILM MANY TIMES.
I’ve spent my Life with Sir Anthony in and out of my Life. It’s like he’s a Father to me.
So close to my own experience - so powerfully presented. I wish I had seen it before and then I would have understood my mother better.
Literally can't wait for this one!!! I can hear the audacious rapturous applause now in my mind's eye. They should introduce 'TEAM OSCAR' for this one. Seriously!! No one character is greater; it's a collaboration of combined genius endeavor. It's going to be a smorgasbord of raw human expression. I love the raw explosive magic of these movies. Shadowlands was my all time favourite movie, suffering separated into pain and happiness moments in linear fashion. But consciousness always whispers into the darkness, ever increasingly calling you forward to embrace more and more happiness within every moment of now and not reflective of any outward situation. It's all the joy and happiness of life!
Anthony you have the most chrismatically appealing personalities of all time. You mold into each character, personality and expression. Your drive to embrace life in human form was so enormous one character played out on the big screen of life was like a drop in the ocean of human expression and reality. You were always thirsty for more.
I love you your a true humble gentlemen of heart filled love. A real rare gem.
Just watched it, it was pretty hard to watch but Hopkins and Colman both deserve Oscar's.
Congratulations to all of the great team.The film was just amazing. In the end I couldn't stop crying
What an actor, what a person! Such a gentleman. Wow. Speechless.
Watched the film and visited my father who has upcoming dementia.
just saw it at the cinema to be honest almost made me cry , great film
I also will watch so many times.
Such great piece of art
Anthony Hopkins deserves a god damn oscar.
Brilliant film
Great Movie, fantastic AH!!!
I cant wait for this film...Looks absolutely amazing
Wow, this movie is so so emotionally powerful.
unbelievable film
I can’t explain how much I adore & respect the wonderful Olivia Colman & Sir Anthony Hopkins:) Both are just simply gifts to the film industry. 🤍
Beautiful people.
Essa foi a conversa mais fofa que já vi. 😍
Yeah incredible movie - it really felt like a play - beautifully done
Anyway, kudos to the interviewer, she shows genuine appreciation to them and makes the interview so dense even with only in a short duration👏
wow this was a great talk
very respectfull and smart
after this and the trailer it looks like this could be a great movie
I just finished watching the film- so beautiful and heartbreaking. I also had watched the 2016 Olivier Awards , where the actor who played the father also won Best Actor and the actress who played Anne was in Broadchurch, so that's a nice situation. But I also feel confused by some of it and yes, I am going to have to let it go, but more importantly, to put us in that state of being was such a genius writing move. Thanks.
Floreen is great! Having watched him from his books and his plays, exceptional artist.
A very good film.
beautiful
the movie was so good
Very well deserve oscar 😍
I like how are they acting this Filim
Beautiful film! If you have the chance I highly recommend you go see it
Nice interview
Watching this after watching the film and feeling genuine relief that Anthony Hopkins and Anthony the character are separate people.
I hope memorizing all those lines for decades and needing to be focused, will prevent any illness of that sort for Sir Anthony. I can't memorize a thing and I am a few months short of 70.
IT'S HIS FIRST FILM?!?!?! oh wow
Wow this is this guy's first movie?!
Anthony got a new watch! 4:30
The Father, not a masterpiece but a great film, obviously.
the one thing I just realize is, anthony and olivia have a veryyyy similar approach in terms of acting
after olivia won the oscar for the favourite, they did some interview, and one of the interviewer asked "how do you go abot finding the tragic and absurd and complexities of queen anne?" and she humbly answered "I don't know, I truly don't know". everytime some interviewer asked her as how did she accomplish the many emotions of queen anne character, she can't answer it because she didn't prepare it, she just deliver well, the most she said is if the script is as good then you can just do it, she also mention that yorgos' direction make her feel safe and when you feel safe then you can do the best out of you.
the same as anthony, when she asked him about how did he find the core of the character anthony living with dementia, he said that it's so easy, he said "I was so knocked out by the script". he also repeatedly mention florian's directional work and quite surprise as it is his debut feature. he get such a good direction and a very well script so he delivers.
the same thing about those 2 I just mention is, (if I can say much of it) anthony and olivia are a true born actor. it's rare for a person to just given a work like that and deliver without trying to do much of approach. they are both not method actors, whereas method actors always try to become something they are not so they can perform well as the characters, very different from anthony and olivia when they have the skill already to act so they deliver easily. these 2 people is a very lovable british persona and legend in acting world, they are so remarkable and I love them for what they able to do, such an inspiration for other actors if I must say.
Running for oscars next year ?
i had the same expirience with my mum
two years after her death i still feel i didnt offer enough
@3:05 oh, so that's why Anthony kept mocking the idea of Ann going to Paris: "They don't even speak English over there"
Nice one for the haters, L'Artiste !
I'm not sure I'm ready to watch this as much as I love Anthony Hopkins .to close to the bone :(
I didn't expect this film to hit me THIS hard, I really love it but I just can't imagine to experience watching it for the 2nd time
Me too 😢
The movie is a masterpiece, Zeller's directing blew my mind, Hopkins deserved his Oscar, Colman (AND WILLIAMS !) were sensational, and I liked their energy in this video, but... Jesus, it's the ONLY reasons it worked, because that woman was an absolute bore. "I hate that we have to cut this short" ?! Why ? It's not network TV, it's the Internet ! =__=
7:21 this is where the video begins
this film would be nothing without Antony Hopkins' performance
Anthony sure has lost weight.
He looks healthy

------------------
۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا
And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.
Holy Quran 17:24
------------------
وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا
And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."
Holy Quran 17:25
------------------
رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمْ ۚ إِن تَكُونُوا صَالِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ لِلْأَوَّابِينَ غَفُورًا
Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.
Holy Quran 17:26
------------------
وَآتِ ذَا الْقُرْبَىٰ حَقَّهُ وَالْمِسْكِينَ وَابْنَ السَّبِيلِ وَلَا تُبَذِّرْ تَبْذِيرًا
And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.
Holy Quran 17:27
------------------
إِنَّ الْمُبَذِّرِينَ كَانُوا إِخْوَانَ الشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِرَبِّهِ كَفُورًا
Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.
Holy Quran 17:28
------------------
وَإِمَّا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغَاءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ تَرْجُوهَا فَقُل لَّهُمْ قَوْلًا مَّيْسُورًا
And if you [must] turn away from the needy awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word.
on a rien compris a ton film mec XDDDD
I wanted to like this movie but it kept putting me to sleep, Mortal Kombat as much better.
Boring
