Finally, news that everyone has most anxiously been waiting for—the three-time Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis is seen yet again on the screen for his new movie called Anemone. This movie is worth marking in the film history, as it marks the return of Daniel and also a movie directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis. An enormous stir is created between cinema enthusiasts and critics by the collaboration of the father and son because there has not been a very interesting pair so lately seen in cinemas.
Daniel Day-Lewis famously retired as an actor in 2017 after the film Phantom Thread, leaving his fans and themselves crying. He was going to retire from the science of acting, which would culminate one of the eras because everybody and anybody regarded him as one of the greatest actors of his generation by doing iconic performances in some of the films: There Will Be Blood, My Left Foot, and Lincoln. His method acting style made him very engulfing and transformational in his role, worthy of much respect and accolades by critics all through his career.
On the other hand, Anemone has all the makings of a very special film reminding Day-Lewis that he could not and would not resist the urge to act in the hands of his son. While not much is known about the film itself, preliminary reports suggest it may be an intimate character piece upon themes like family, loss, and reconciliation. Given Day-Lewis’s history of choosing movies with complicated, emotionally charged performances, Anemone would indeed be a great fit for his filmography.
An actor who is new in the world of direction, Ronan Day-Lewis, at his father’s hands, has created a niche for himself in the world of cinema. He would be a fantastic project, as his interpretation of Anemone is known to wield all the subtlety of modern retellings. Many are waiting with bated breath for his first full-pledged directorial endeavor too, especially with someone as crème de la crème of an actor as he’s got.
So much hope in the collaboration of Daniel Day-Lewis with his son. Anemone cannot simply be a film—this is its strongest testament to the powers of familial bond and artistic legacy. Its release will make people look eagerly, beating hype for this father-son film and making Anemone one of the most anticipated films of the years.
