Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean, & Ronan Day-Lewis On Anemone: An Empire Podcast Interview Special

Every year at the London Film Festival, Empire hosts a gala screening for a film that we particularly admire. This year's choice was Ronan Day-Lewis' Anemone, a drama that we called 'sad, absurdist, brooding, tender, and intense', and which marks the return to acting of the great Daniel Day-Lewis, father of Ronan and co-writer of the movie, after eight years away from the screen. It's good to have him back, for he's electric in this, going toe-to-toe with a never better Sean Bean as two brothers attempting to reconcile, after a fashion, in a secluded cabin. And the morning after the gala at the LFF in October, Alex Godfrey sat down with Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Bean for a candid chat about their approaches to, and reasons for, acting; [2:05 - 24:00 approx] and then Ronan Day-Lewis for a conversation about the film, and directing his own dad. [24:19 onwards, approx] And we're delighted to bring you both of those in this interview special, now that Anemone is out in cinemas in the UK. Enjoy!
