ANTHONY HOPKINS “THE FATHER”
Key scene: In a nursing home, Anthony (Hopkins) asks a nurse his name. When she tells him, he cries for his mother to save him.
What’s so special: “I wanted the
film to lead to this place,” says director Florian Zeller. “Anthony [the actor] thought of a lullaby his mother used to sing to him, and I saw that memory destroying him in front of us. He traveled through time and became not a child, but the child he was. He was really crying for his mother.”
