Longing director Savi Gabizon sat down with ComingSoon to discuss his English remake of his Israeli movie, which stars Richard Gere.
ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Longing director Savi Gabizon about the English remake of his 2017 Israeli film of the same name.of Longing stars Richard Gere and Diane Kruger in key roles and revolve around a father learning that he had a son that recently died. Gabizon discussed the unique situation of remaking his own movie in a different language and the film’s themes.
For me, it was very important that the character would experience his son’s failure, because I think that in those moments in life, when you, as a father, experience your son’s failure. In these moments, your fatherhood flourishes. So, I gave him some major points or some important points in his journey to recognize something bad about his boy and to decide how he’s going to react to this new fact that he gets right now.
One thing I must tell you about this character. The first scene of him, he hears that he has a boy, and the first thing he does, he calls his lawyer. This is a very low step to begin with a character because it doesn’t help to love him, to identify with him. I needed a wonderful actor to succeed and to get up from this point. Richard is one of those actors who can do it because you love him. First of all, you love his eyes, you love his soul.
I think that in a special way, there is energy of longing in the film. I felt it, and I chose this name because of this energy. I felt that although you cannot longing someone who you didn’t know, there is this kind of energy, and I decided that I want to call this journey Longing and let’s hope I was right.
I wanted to ask about the dream sequence with Alice, which is a centerpiece in both movies. She is sitting on the building. How was it filming that sequence with Diane Kruger?
