Rufus in The Father

[midoro]

Rufus is Paul in a new Florian Zeller film, The Father, adapted from a play by Christopher Hampton. Main roles played by Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman. The film will be released 8 January 2021 (hopefully!).

Here´s the trailer (Rufus has two short appearances):

Thanks Midoro! Emotional film.

Here is part of an article. Will be one of those what is real deals.

To preserve our empathy for a man who has entered the hostile, confrontational stage of Alzheimer’s disease, the audience is kept as wrongfooted as the protagonist, with several mutually contradictory alternate plotlines competing for our belief. Is Anthony still living, as he believes, in his own flat, or in his daughter Anne’s? Is Anne divorced and getting ready to leave the country, or still married? And if the latter, which of the two actors playing her husband (Rufus Sewell and Mark Gatiss) is the real one? Is Anthony’s other daughter Lucy – to whom he keeps comparing Anne unfavorably – alive or dead? And what’s the deal with all these home-care aides Anne keeps hiring, who keep being driven off by Anthony’s deranged tirades?
