Asghar Farhadi Says He Used Long, Unexpected Incubation Processes to Help Form ‘A Hero’ – Contenders L.A.
Speaking through a translator at Deadline’s Contenders Film: Los Angeles awards-season event Sunday, Farhadi explained that the germ of the notion for the film – whichat the Cannes Film Festival in July – first took root in his mind when he was a college student. He saw a British play put on by students, which sparked his interest in local stories about altruistic strangers who become celebrated for kindnesses like returning lost items by tracking down their owners.
The filmmaker said he frequently finds that fruitful film ideas have lengthy and subconscious incubation periods. “They slowly grow into your mind – you’re not even aware of it,” he said. “You just wake up in the middle of the night — you feel like there’s something that is like annoying in your head and you have to put it out.”Farhadi noted that just days earlier he’d experienced a similar epiphany during his Los Angeles visit.
He’s still keeping that concept under wraps for the moment: “I’m working on it, but let me just wait for it to become real serious,” theTime, memory and early formative experiences, he pointed out, are among the most potent tools in a filmmaker’s arsenal. “For me, most of the things that comes to me are coming from my childhood,” he said. “I think the biggest investment that artists have in their lives is their childhood.
The pic premiered at Cannes, where it won the Grand Prix. Amazon will release January 7 in U.S. theaters and January 21 on Prime.
