One of the perks that can come with any relationship, be it romantic, platonic or professional, is the development of a shortened form of communication. Instead of explaining yourself in length, as with any stranger, this shortened rand can make communication faster, clearer or simply resonate at an even deeper level than just something verbal. This type of connection is especially useful in making art, as it allows co -workers to climb the same page with minimal noise. Even more than things like mutual respect, similar interests and real enjoyment in the other company, this aspect of constant employment is a great reason Why so many actors and directors want to pair. From Martin Scorsese and Robert de Niro to Christopher Nolan and Cilian Murphy, these couples can allow directors and actors to do some really deep, insightful work together.

With The publication of "Singleon", It seems that writer/director Ari Aster has finally found a repetitive muse in the form of actor Aoakin Phoenix, who was the starvet of the previous feature of Aster, "Beo is afraid" and is also the lead of "Singleton". This choice is more noticeable once you realize that Aster has not worked with any of the same actors twice, and although "Eddington" is only his fourth characteristic, it is still a little unusual. Then again, Aster's work became known for being unusualSo maybe his invitation Phoenix back is not the beginning of a long partnership. Regardless of the case, Aster and Phoenix seem to have developed a shortcut, according to the Phoenix himself. During a recent roundtable interview, the actor revealed part of his process behind the building of his image "Eddington", Crosso Cross, including the indirect note that Aster gave him during the recording, which was essentially unlocking the actor in a great way.

"Edington" is more than another Ari Aster Fracut's surreal thriller. It is a non -hazardous look back to the 2020 arguments, with the small city sheriff of the Phoenix, caught in the middle, when he decides to start a mayor campaign. The elements of a gruesome, true American history are blurred with satire, myth and surrealism, a powerful blend that is not borrowed in direct or obvious approach. Thus, the collaboration between Aster and the Phoenix began almost as soon as the Singleton scenario emerged. During that time, both the director and the actor fought to reduce the image of OEO, even to the way he spoke, as Phoenix explained during the roundtable:

"This, we started working together and reading the script a year in advance. And so, we went through so much discussions about how OEO would talk, because the first thing for me was when I read this script, I just heard this voice. And then we gathered, ARI and I, I was like," I heard this. " He was like, 'Well, what is it?' And I was like, I don't know. So we were just talking and occasionally tried things. He was just trying to find out who he was. "

Despite the talents of Aster and Phoenix, the finding of the face of OEO proved to be problematic that almost disturbed the day of recording previously shown film material. Phoenix continued:

"But I remember this moment in the room, it was our first official recording day. And we were already filming a scene that was not officially (the movie), it was a press conference. And I really fought. I was really nervous. And I felt like something missing from the stage, and I couldn't.

Although having bumpy on the first day of filming is not too unusual, it would make sense that Phoenix and Aster would consider it disturbing when he climbed an ambitious film as "Eddington". Fortunately, the power of Their work partnership forged "Bio is afraid" He came through, allowing Aster to give a Phoenix note that was more than a gesture, and it was enough to help the Phoenix construct the whole character from there. In fact, it was not a direct note, as Aster simply performed the OEO lines along with the Phoenix in order to help them both grasp the character out. As Phoenix explained:

"So, i'm standing in front of the chalkboard, and i'm practicing my lines. And then ari is standing next to me and he's going through the lines at the sense. Feelings. I don't know.

From there, Aster and Phoenix could really dive into OEO and "Eddington", dealing with the distorted Ensemble of Characters and Situations on a better foundation film. It is a kind of work that comes from artists who have experience and knowledge of each other; As the Phoenix said, the duo was "less warm" when he was doing "Singleon" because Aster is now "armed entirely with information" about how the actor works. Who knows if Aster and Phoenix will work together for the third time in the future, but when the results are as unique and attractive as those of Bio are afraid, it would be a crime if they didn't.

Singleon is now playing in the cinemas.
