“Peacock”, interview with the director Bernhard Wenger
Manage episode 440956294 series 1225738
Bernhard Wenger‘s film “Peacock“, in competition at the Venice International Festival Critics’ Week, is an acidic, marauding comedy about appearing, adapting to please others, sacrificing one’s personality and losing oneself. The director talks with Fred Radio about it, form the inspiration to the meanings that he wanted to convey.
The European adaptation of a very common Japanese reality
Bernhard Wegner was inspired for “Peacock” by an encounter with a man working for a friend-rental agency in Japan, who suffered a personality disorder as he could no longer recognise himself amidst the thousands of personas he had to take on for work. From this tragic personal story comes the fierce satire of the film.
The protagonist’s life outside reality is also reflected in the aesthetics of the film
The aesthetic choice for the film that Bernhard Wenger decided on, together with his d.o.p., was that of hyper-realism and cold perfection, which the protagonist always carries within himself (so much so that he is inept and passive in his private life) and which he transports into the fictitious lives of his characters, so much that defines him forever.
The post “Peacock”, interview with the director Bernhard Wenger appeared first on Fred Film Radio.
