Robert Pattinson The Devil All the Time Preview Screenings in Landmark Cinemas (USA)
Antonio Campos is pleased and surprised that Landmark Theatres (that are open) will be screening The Devil All the Time from this Friday 11 September. Below is an extract from Antonio’s Filmmaker Letter (see image above):
We always knew that the film was to live on Netflix and were excited for the kind of immediate global reach the film would have because of that. But we always dreamed that people would also have the chance to experience the film on a big screen. The film was shot on 35mm in a wide 2.40 aspect ratio, with every frame designed to celebrate its subject whether that be the small, lonely church in the middle of a field at twilight or an extreme close up on Reverend Teagarden’s face (played by Robert Pattinson) swishing the juices of Emma Russell’s chicken livers around in his mouth.
And it’s not only the image that benefits from the theatrical experience. It’s also the sound. The film’s sweeping score, the wonderful soundtrack made up of gospel, country and pop, and finally the raspy, vinegar-filled narration provided by the author of the novel himself, Donald Ray Pollock, played loud on the theatre’s speakers will envelope you from start to finish.
Imagine being able to appreciate Rob’s face up close in all its 35mm glory *swoons*
I’m just imagining the Reverend “swishing the juices of Emma Russell’s chicken livers around his mouth” …..I have no words LOL
I had to go to sleep last night with that image fresh in my mind!
