The extremely praised movie All of Us Strangers, that includes Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott, is an adaptation of Taichi Yamada’s 1987 novel Strangers. Originally, the novel was tailored into the 1988 Japanese movie The Discarnates. However, the brand new adaptation, directed by Andrew Haigh, takes the story from Tokyo to London, showcasing Haigh’s inventive imaginative and prescient.
The director mentioned “Adapting the book was a long and sometimes painful process. I wanted to pick away at my own past as Adam does in the film. I was interested in exploring the complexities of both familial and romantic love, but also the distinct experience of a specific generation of gay people growing up in the 80s. I wanted to move away from the traditional ghost story of the novel and find something more psychological, almost metaphysical.” Yamada and his household have been extremely respectful of Haigh’s imaginative and prescient.
Andrew Haigh, famend for his poignant portrayals of human relationships in films comparable to Weekend and 45 Years, brings his distinctive model to All of Us Strangers. The story revolves round Adam, a screenwriter coping with previous grief, portrayed by Andrew Scott. Adam’s life undergoes a metamorphosis when he encounters his neighbour Harry, performed by Paul Mescal, disrupting his solitary life.
Searchlight Pictures’ All Of Us Strangers is all set to hit the display screen in India on March 8.
