Youth Without Youth/Un'altra giovinezza [Francis Ford Coppola] HD (Sony F900)-to-35mm scope/c; filmed in Romania; 'I kept everything simple. When I knew this could work, I brought over two trusted colleagues and the camera. I began testing actors in a backroom of my host's pharmaceutical company. There are over 50 roles in 'Youth Without Youth'. How many could I cast right there? But I had an even more elaborate scheme: each time I shot a test with an actor, I'd use a different photographer. They were all fine but I chose Mihai Malaimare Jr. The movie was about becoming young again. I liked the fact that Mihai was so young, had a gentle personality, and was tremendously talented. When I told him the camera would remain stationary throughout, he said 'that's great'!' [Francis Ford Coppola] |
