Eva Green, Ewan McGregor, Director David Mackenzie and the rest of the cast of Perfect Sense talk to us on the red carpet at the film’s UK Premiere in London. Perfect Sense, formerly known as The Last Word, is a story about a chef (Ewan McGregor) and a scientist (Eva Green) who fall in love as an epidemic begins to rob people of their sensory perceptions. The film first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival based on a screenplay by Kim Fupz Aakeson. It is fascinating to hear how everyone in the cast and crew has a different take on the movie – a testament to the multi-layered complexity of the scenario.
Ewan McGregor talks about the damaged nature of the two lovers in the film and the bizarre metaphorical questions brought to mind by the concept of losing senses. Eva Green discusses how she and Ewan McGregor worked together as actors and her positive spin on the film.
A different Ewan playing a different chef also shares his thoughts: Ewan Bremner waxes poetic as he delves into the philosophical aspects of the story and the essence of humanity itself. He also discusses working with the director, David Mackenzie. The director himself talks about the fusion of genres of the film, cast selection, and how he researched the issue of lack of senses in preparation for the film. Find out which sense David Mackenzie would choose to lose if he had to give one up!
