Actor Benedict Cumberbatch arrived at the EbMaster Studio, which was hosted by Audible and presented at Sundance, in preparation for the world premiere of his upcoming drama film titled “The Thing With the Feathers.” This movie, written and directed by Dylan Southern, is based on Max Porter’s book “Grief Is the Thing with Feathers,” where Benedict portrays a grieving father trying to raise his two sons following the unexpected death of their mother.
In an interview with Brent Lang from EbMaster’s, the actor portraying Doctor Strange revealed that the character he plays might be the most authentic representation of himself on screen. He elaborated: “Actors are quite peculiar beings; we often seek out intense scenarios to convey genuine narratives. And this role does resonate with something universal. This character is remarkably similar to me, truth be told. The middle-class father in northwest London, it all felt incredibly authentic and I could easily connect with it.
Southern chose to adapt the book because it offered unique opportunities for literary storytelling that aren’t as feasible in filmmaking. Challenging aspects in the adaptation process ultimately proved beneficial. He admired the book’s poetic language and its narrative from three distinct viewpoints, one of which might be imaginary. His primary aim was to create a movie that mirrored Max’s book’s tone and grandeur. The film tackles a heavy theme like grief, but it does so in an unusual, unsentimental, and touching manner.
Cumberbatch chatted with EbMaster for a feature in Sundance’s magazine prior to the event, revealing that he was drawn to “The Thing With the Feathers” as it illuminates the topic of male sorrow.
He remarked, “I don’t often encounter situations like that.” The character portrayed a man grappling with his constraints amidst the stress of work, life, and parenthood, while simultaneously battling the harsh impact of grief. It was filled with numerous obstacles. But I thrive on difficulties.
