This clip doesn’t seem attached to a larger interview unfortunately.
In recent years, Canadian director Matt Johnson has served up two unexpected exceptions to the biopic trap. His 2023 “BlackBerry,” about the rapid rise and fall of the breakthrough smartphone, is a workplace comedy turned late capitalist tragedy with a “Succession”-like lack of reverence for its subjects. And his new film “Tony,” about the summer a young Anthony Bourdain spent working in a Provincetown kitchen, works as a coming-of-age film, regardless if you know its miserable 20-year old protagonist, played by Dominic Sessa, will become the beloved writer, chef, and “Parts Unknown” host.
This article is a companion piece to Matt Johnson on Feeling ‘Trapped’ Shooting ‘Tony,’ Josh Safdie’s Advice, and If Bigger Hollywood Films Are Next taken from the interview in Indiewire’s Filmmaker Toolkit Podcast.
Interview switches from the trio to Antonio Banderas at 9m in.
