Джейми Дорнан в интервью Forbes

What’s happening with Kenneth Branagh’s Belfast? Are you still in production?

 

We finished a few weeks ago. Again, it was one of those dream job situations. It was great to have this on my calendar this year; particularly this year. We were fortunately enough to shoot the movie and get through the schedule safely. I’m a massive fan of Kenneth Branagh.

UK filmmakers talk return to production

Filming his semi-autobiographical feature Belfast prompted an increase in cardiovascular activity for Kenneth Branagh. “Our one-way systems caused various hilarity — the steps everybody took, as measured by their devices, went up significantly,” says the filmmaker, discussing the changes needed to allow filmmaking to continue in the time of Covid-19. “You were often travelling a great deal further.”

 

Telling the story of a boy growing up in the tumult of late 1960s Northern Ireland, Belfast is a film Branagh had wanted to make for “the last 10 or 15 years”. He suddenly had the time and headspace to write his passion project having completed the majority of post-production on his second Agatha Christie adaptation, Death On The Nile for 20th Century Studios, by the time the UK lockdown began in March. “It had the impetus and energy to move to production with speed that some projects are just born with,” says Branagh.

 

No production, however, is easy to shoot right now. Covid-19 testing for “anyone joining the production in any capacity” began two weeks ahead of the August 27 start date, and continued for the on-set crew every day throughout the shoot. The “much-reduced” crew was separated into zones: green for the shooting crew, red for people with no requirement to be on set, and a middle zone for those interacting with the set.

 

In a short time, Branagh was able to sign up a cast for Belfast that included Jamie Dornan, Ciaran Hinds, Caitriona Balfe and his frequent collaborator Judi Dench, who has long been attached to the project. Branagh emphasises the care they took to keep safe the 85-year-old actress he refers to as “a complete, sleeves-rolled-up collaborator”.

 

“Judi was in hair and make-up away from other people and went from there to the set with a mask,” he says. For scenes in confined spaces, the camera crew filmed through windows to keep the number of people in an enclosed space to “five or six” maximum.

 

Daily temperature checks and a digital questionnaire monitored the health of all involved. The film includes several young actors; production had to provide satisfactory evidence of appropriate care and concern in order to obtain child licences from local councils. Branagh was even able to incorporate the safety measures into his story. “In recreating the historical threat that period produced in street life, we had crowd artists masked on screen,” he says.

 

The film shot for several days in the eponymous Northern Irish capital, before moving to locations in and around London in September. “We would have been in Belfast for longer [had it not been for the pandemic],” the director admits. Despite this compromise, Branagh sings the praises of his home city’s creative set-up. “When we were there, we were incredibly fleet of foot,” he says. “The film infrastructure in the north of Ireland is so highly developed, partly as a result of the success of Game Of Thrones, that the assistance we were given was second-to-none.”

 

The film’s producers are Laura Berwick, Celia Duval, Becca Kovacik and Tamar Thomas; the latter has worked as Branagh’s assistant on titles dating back to 1992’s Peter’s Friends, and received a first producer credit on his William Shakespeare feature All Is True in 2018. Branagh found working with close companions made handling the trials of the new guidelines easier. “Everybody understood, however complex or time-consuming some of the preparations were, that it not only protected particular individuals who might be in vulnerable groups — it protected absolutely everybody,” he says. “There was a tremendous sense of shared responsibility.”

 

As a project packaged after the pandemic began, Covid-19 cover was not included in the independently financed film’s production insurance. “We had normal insurance arrangements, but the larger Covid-19 element of it was not something we could do in a practical way,” says Branagh.

 

Time was also a factor. “It seemed like there was a narrowing window,” he adds. “Based on the brevity of time and not wanting to burden ourselves with financial protections that took a while to gather, we stayed a little more flexible and independent.”

“We spent what it took,” says Branagh of Covid-19 safety on Belfast. He and his team decided to maintain the frequency of testing on exterior locations, even with a reduced chance of virus transmission outdoors. “It didn’t make straight-up-and-down financial sense, but it made sense in terms of feeling we were doing everything we could to be vigilant about the virus, and so that everybody understood what was going on. Clarity of information is key in filming in the time of Covid-19.”

 

The unifying thread among all projects was a willingness to get going after a hiatus of several months. “Although the work we do is by no means an essential service, entertainment has been very important to people in lockdown,” says Branagh. “We were supremely glad to be reminded of how privileged we are, and how precious it was to continue to do it.”

BELFAST is sweet, if somewhat unremarkable. Clearly a deeply personal childhood story Kenneth Branagh had to get out of his system & u can’t help but respect that. Like his ROMA but stylistically very different. Caitriona Balfe’s performance is my favorite thing in it.

Gonna be hard to avoid ROMA comparisons on that one. Should also pair well with THE HAND OF GOD in some sense this year. One from the heart. Good for Sir Kenneth.

‘Belfast’ is the First Movie That Feels Like It Could Be a Best Picture Winner at Telluride

Belfast is beautiful. Incredibly touching. It's the first movie this year that I think can win best picture. Kenneth Branagh's most personal endeavor. Ciaran Hinds and Judi Dench are Oscar bound. Jamie Dornan and Catriona Balfe are splendid. Magnificent!

Belfast is a soaring cinematic achievement. Kenneth Branagh’s most personal, career-best work. I am overcome with emotion. Bravura filmmaking, Belfast is a triumph not to be missed!

Belfast is an absolute triumph. Strong best pic contender. Stunning visuals, light touch. Van Morrison music throughout. Masterpiece.

BELFAST is definitely Kenneth Branagh’s ROMA, deeply personal with a humor-filled script (sometimes to a tonal fault). Balfe and Dorn are magnificent, Dench and Hinds are charming and newcomer Jude Hill is a Jamie Bell-level find.

BELFAST infuses movies, television and plays in a way that emphasizes how much we depend on entertainment to get us through the most difficult periods, whether personal or political.

BELFAST has an original song from Van Morrison, which opens the film

Belfast is hands down Kenneth Branagh’s best film. Superbly shot, stunning cinematography & deeply personal. Branagh manages to perfectly blend dark moments with ones that are filled with joy & happiness. This is a love letter to family as well as cinema.

BELFAST is a nice, small, pretty heavy-handed movie—Branagh bluntly contrasts the cute with the horrific; it can drag despite a short runtime—but Caitriona Balfe particularly is very, very good.

Belfast has set itself as an early Oscar contender. Beautiful direction, cinematography & a film that puts childhood joy & the love of family center stage amongst chaos. Dornan has never been better. Newcomer Jude Hill will steal your heart.

Kenneth Branagh's extraordinary BELFAST goes straight onto the list of the cinema's intensely beautiful, sometimes brutal, vividly remembered childhood portraits - THE 400 BLOWS, AMARCORD, HOPE AND GLORY, ROMA. Exquisite performances by Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Judi Dench, Ciaran Hinds and (especially) 10-year-old newcomer Jude Hill; majestically scored to the music of Van Morrison, whose voice rises from the soundtrack like the soul of the titular city itself. Every frame if this film shimmers with the magic of the movies.

Loved Kenneth Branagh’s ROMA, BELFAST! I can see a scenario in which it joins the rare club of movies to register noms in all four acting categories: Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Ciarin Hinds and/or Jude Hill and Judi Dench—all excellent and moving in beautiful black and white!

По словам бывшего президента Американской киноакадемии Сидни Гэниса, это один из лучших фильмов, которые он когда-либо видел.

Выглядит как кино, которое может выиграть ЛФ на раз два

Он же будет в Торонто?

Если войдет в тройку выбора зрителей - станет серьезным претендентом.

Вообще зрительские рейтинги пока довольно скромные.. Их, впрочем, пока еще мало.

 

Но непонятно, если фильм такой крутой, то почему его нет в Венеции? Focus не подсуетился или как...

Потому что не все идет в Венецию. Зеленой книги там тоже не было условно, победил в Торонто, победил на оскаре.

Венеция это ничего не значит условно. Просто фест, иногда попадает , иногда нет.
