Dalíland Director Mary Harron & Christopher Briney Talk Salvador Dalí and Sir Ben Kingsley | TIFF
Sep 18 2022
Canadian filmmaker Mary Harron came to the Toronto International Film Festival with her first feature film since 2018, Dalíland, and she had a "feast of acting" to mark her return. Featuring the talents of Sir Ben Kingsley and Ezra Miller as an older and younger version of the surreal painter Salvador Dalí alongside the ever-talented Barbara Sukowa, Rupert Graves, and Andreja Pejic among others, there was no shortage of star power aboard the dazzling biopic. Amidst the experienced actors, however, was newcomer Christopher Briney who was thrown into the deep end immediately, starring opposite Kingsley. Before the film was shown at TIFF, Harron and Briney talked with Steve Weintraub at the Collider Supper Suite and Media Studio at Marbl about the film and the process behind bringing Briney on board.
