“Like many movie lovers, I’m hungry for new worlds, new characters, and a new way of thinking about the human experience,” director Kogonada notes, describing his inspiration for his new original film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. The film stars Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell together on screen for the first time, as strangers who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding who unexpectedly find themselves on A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
Doors play an important role in the film, as they bring the characters back to key moments in their pasts. “I love the theatre of doors. When I see a door on a theatrical stage, it always sparks the imagination. That door has the potential to lead us anywhere - into the mundane or the magical. Doors represent possibilities. They are inherently mysterious. Opening a door, literally and figuratively, means entering a new space, a new experience, a new moment in your life,” director Kogonada (Columbus, After Yang) explains.
