Exclusive: Viggo Mortensen and Matt Ross on Captain Fantastic

0

Captain Fantastic kickstarts the award’s season this Autumn, with Matt Ross bringing audiences an engaging, funny and touching drama – and we had the pleasure of meeting the man himself, joined by the film’s leading star, Viggo Mortensen.

We discussed how essential it is not to ridicule nor celebrate the lifestyle choices made by the protagonist – who teaches his children how to survive, away from school and society. Mortensen also tells us whether being a father himself inspired him to get involved with this project, while Ross speaks about turning to directing, and where he sees his future – predominantly in front of, or behind the camera.

Captain Fantastic is out on September 9th, and you can read our review here.
