Description

Today, we're absolutely thrilled to have on John Crowley a director, screenwriter and filmmaker whose work consistently delves into the intricate tapestry of human experience with remarkable sensitivity and depth.


Dom Lenoir sits down for a natter with John to unpack the creative journey behind this poignant film and explore the themes that drive his artistic vision.


John Crowley has a masterful touch for storytelling as he burst onto the scene with his critically acclaimed feature debut, "Intermission" (2003), followed by the powerful and poignant "Boy A" (2007). He captivated audiences and critics alike with the deeply moving "Brooklyn" (2015), which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. He then took on the complex literary adaptation of "The Goldfinch" (2019), and his television work includes episodes of the acclaimed series "True Detective" and "Black Mirror."


His latest film, "We Live in Time," promises to be another compelling addition to his already impressive filmography. This romantic drama, written by Nick Payne, explores the relationship of a couple, Tobias Durand, played by the incredible Andrew Garfield, and Almut Brühl, portrayed by the brilliant Florence Pugh, over the course of a decade. The film uniquely employs a nonlinear narrative, weaving through snapshots of their lives together – falling in love, building a home, and becoming a family – while confronting a difficult truth that challenges their very foundation.
