This edition: 'The Favourite' Press Conference | Yorgos Lanthimos & Cast

Episode Details

Original tape date: October 2, 2018. First aired: July 5, 2024.

Yorgos Lanthimos, Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Nicholas Hoult, Joe Alwyn, and Tony McNamara (with a special appearance by Sandy Powell!) discuss The Favourite on the Opening Night of the 56th New York Film Festival. This trio of truly brilliant performances is the dynamo that powers Lanthimos's top-to-bottom reimagining of the costume epic, in which the visual pageantry of court life in 18th-century England becomes not just a lushly appointed backdrop but an ironically heightened counterpoint to the primal conflict unreeling behind closed doors.
