At 62, Viggo Mortensen finally goes behind the camera to make a first film dealing with themes that are dear to him, the father-son relationship, the family and the chaos caused by the lack of communication.
Unforgettable Aragorn in The
Lord of the Rings
Trilogy
(2001-2003) by Peter Jackson according to Tolkien, this former photographer, poet, of American-Danish origin has covered a wide spectrum of interpretations,
from Sean Penn's
Indian Runner
(1991) to
Green Book
(2018 ) by Peter Farrelly, including
Captain Fantastic
(2016) by Matt Ross,
The Road
(2009) by Cormac McCarthy… Without forgetting
History of Violence
(2005) by David Cronenberg or
A Dangerous Method
(2010) by the same Cronenberg, where he embodies the founder of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud.
This Freudian side can be found underground in
Falling
, a cathartic feature film with universal resonances.
LE FIGARO.
