Oscar-winning director and writer Florian Zeller talks about his new film The Son – a drama about a New York lawyer (Hugh Jackman) who tries to help his depressed son while confronting his own father (Anthony Hopkins) about the family history .
After his great success with “The Father”, Zeller has adapted his own play for the screen for the second time. He tells ROLLING STONE how an emotional email from Hugh Jackman started their collaboration, why Anthony Hopkins was on set hours before shooting began, and how his film is more real than some critics would like to admit.
