90 ‘ | CF-Blind | DVD & StreamingUnlike Interview, Blind Date has no political concerns, it is an intimate examination of the painful grief of two parents, in some sense it is an appropriate choice of film to adapt in Van Gogh’s memory.
Both the original and the remake of the film is a unique experience, a one of a kind cinematic investigation of genuine emotions, love, grief and the our sometimes limited capacity to cope with pain.
Blind Date (Remake) by Stanley Tucci is also available for streaming.
Dutch director/producer/screenwriter Theo Van Gogh was planning an English language remake of his renowned film Interview when he was violently murdered by an Islam extremist in 2004. He had dared to criticize Islam fundamentalism in his short film Submission Part 1. Sadly, proving a point has cost him his life. Following Van Gogh’s tragic death his producers accomplished to adapt not one but three of his films in English with American actors.
Artfilms is pleased to present the “TRIPLE THEO” collection, all the originals alongside their remakes in sets of 2 DVDs.
90 ‘ | CF-Interview | DVD & StreamingBy drawing parallels between fiction and reality this is film is about fakery. (In the original version the actors share a name with their characters creating a subtextual essay on the nature of celebrities and how we can never know for sure who is really behind the million dollar smiles.)
Contradiction, scheming, prejudice, fear, love and hate. These are all emotions bubbling under the unglamorous surface of Interview, a film whose title is even something of a lie, seeing as Pierre never completes his assignment.
Interview (Original) by Theo Van Gogh is also available for streaming.
