Claire Denis presented a three-hour masterclass last Wednesday (29 April 2020) as part of the Vision du Réel film festival. The festival also honored her with the “Maître du Réel” and Claire was happy to provide some insights into her career where she mentioned both Rob and Juliette Binoche. The masterclass will be made available with English subtitles at the festivals site. But for now, here are two takes on what drew Claire to Rob:
There’s something hidden in him. I think that’s why he’s so strong. He’s not at all naturalistic — he has this plastic beauty behind which hides something mysterious. That’s very powerful in cinema.
The question of reality also manifests itself in your relationship with the actors, like when you talk about Robert Pattinson , which you directed in High Life : “I saw it in Twilight and Cosmopolis , and it struck me because it has a hidden side, which is also seen in Good Time . He is not a naturalist actor, there is always something under it, and that is why it works in all those films “.

@lifestylelinked shared her footage of Rob taken back in, from what looks like to me, 2017 when Rob was promoting Good Time in New York City. Rob always gracious with fans.

Robert Englund (aka Freddy Kruger) Raves About Robert Pattinson “He’s an amazing actor”
Collider spoke to Robert Englund and right at the end (i’ve started the video on the Rob talk) he talks about how Robert Pattinson “is blowing my mind a lot”. Some amazing praise.
Robert Pattinson Tells Esquire US “My style is always sort of utilitarian”
Rob is featured in the March 2020 edition of Esquire US where he talks his style with Garrett Munce for The Short Stories Keeping Gotham Weird
Pattinson, 33, has also become a low-key fashion hero—and it started with Good Time. “The director saw a construction worker walking down the street outside his office, got him to come in, and we stood beside each other to make sure we were the same build. We bought everything he was wearing, and that was my costume,” he tells me, adding: “I kept a lot of stuff.”
His secret is adopting a uniform. “My style is always sort of utilitarian,” he says, explaining that he goes through stretches in which he’ll wear the same thing every day. For him, it’s been Dr. Martens and black baseball caps and corduroy jumpsuits (discovered in Copenhagen, too warm for L. A.). “If something fits right, it can genuinely change my life,” he says.
Next year, Pattinson—who’s the current face of Dior’s new men’s cologne—will bring his weird vibes to the role of Bruce Wayne in The Batman, which also marks his return to big-budget films. The question is whether he’ll pinch some of the Caped Crusader’s wardrobe.
