Kogonada Interview: A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and the Anime Influences on the Film
10In his latest film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, director Kogonada (After Yang) asks audiences to open the door, take a leap of faith, and step through. Starring Academy Award nominees Colin Farrell (Banshees of Inisherin) and Margot Robbie (Barbie), this romantic fantasy draws inspiration from works like the critically acclaimed Your Name and offers a dose of escapism in what Kogonada calls a reasonably "cynical age."
In the movie, David (Farrell) and Sarah (Robbie) share a chance meeting at a wedding, which sets these two lonely hearts off on an epic adventure. When they're brought together by whimsical circumstances, they discover a door that sets them off on a journey through time and memories. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass), Lily Rabe (American Horror Story), and Billy Magnussen (Lilo & Stitch).
During his conversation with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Kogonada discusses how Sony took a chance on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and its original concept. He talks about the message of the film, about "restoring belief" in humanity, and taking chances. Kogonada also discusses working with composer Joe Hisaishi (Spirited Away), the anime influences on the film, and shares the filmmaker who has had the biggest impact on him.
