Fingernails Interview: Christos Nikou on Working with Cate Blanchett, Jeremy Allen White & More
16If you could take a test that’d confirm you and your partner share true love, would you do it? What if that test demanded you give up a fingernail? Would you still want a coveted true love certificate? Those are some of the questions Christos Nikou’s second feature film, Fingernails, poses.
The movie stars Jessie Buckley as Anna. She and her partner, Ryan played by Jeremy Allen White, passed the test. With their love for one another confirmed, it should be smooth sailing for the pair, free and clear of any and all relationship doubts. However, when Anna takes a job at the Love Institute and starts to have feelings for a colleague, Riz Ahmed’s Amir, she begins to wonder what she should trust — results from a machine or her own feelings.
While in Toronto for Fingernails’ international premiere, Nikou visited the Collider media studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to discuss his experience going from first to second feature. Check out this video interview to hear all about how the Fingernails screenplay evolved, about his two-film collaboration with Cate Blanchett as a producer, why Nikou embraced what he calls a “melancholic smile tone” for the film, and more.
Fingernails will have a limited theatrical release across the United States on October 27th and be made available to stream on Apple TV+ on November 3rd.
