Ethan Hawke was in London on Friday to promote his latest film First Reformed. Directed by Paul Schrader, First Reformed is a complex existential thriller which follows a priest, played by Hawke, who undergoes a crisis of faith after he fails to prevent a tragedy in his parish.
The Sundance Film Festival London held a special screening of First Reformed, with an introduction by star Ethan Hawke. We managed to chat with Ethan before the screening:
–
“It was like hearing an old lion roar in the jungle…”
–
“It was like working with a professional…”
–
“Anytime older people give advice, they kinda sound like a blowhard idiot…”
