The Line is a brilliant new drama that marks an exciting turn for up and coming director Ethan Berger. To mark the film’s release, we had the pleasure in speaking to both the aforementioned filmmaker, alongside his leading man Alex Wolff, who turns in a compelling performance, with what is a complex character to bring to life.
We discuss the film’s dark themes, leading into a conversation about contemporary fraternity culture in America, and the toxic and dangerous masculinity that comes with it. On a lighter note, we chat about the brilliance of two of the film’s supporting stars, Scoot McNairy & John Malkovich.
Watch the full interview with Alex Wolff and Ethan Berger here:
Synopsis
Tom, a passionate ‘brother’ of his fraternity, is charmed by the promises of high social status and alumni connections that open doors. But as a classmate outside of his social circle named Annabelle enters his life, his devotion begins to falter. Once the scheduled hazing of new fraternity members comes to a disturbing head, Tom is faced with the decision of a lifetime.
The Line is released in New York on October 18, and across the United States on October 25
