"I'm going to rest for a little bit.

He also said that it’s been so “tempting” to live in that way of just always “onto the next thing” – however, he acknowledges that to actually consider taking time for himself is a privilege on its own. So I want to make sure I make things that feel genuine and authentic to myself and hopefully connect in a deep way to an audience,” he added. Because honestly, if I pretended to know it would be a disservice to me and to an audience as well.

Il s’était déjà un peu éloigné du milieu du cinéma après avoir joué dans « Under the Silver Lake », présenté au Festival de Cannes, en 2018, avant de revenir en force. En début d’année, il a remporté le Golden Globe du Meilleur acteur pour « Tick, Tick... Boom ! », et a été nommé aux Oscars (Will Smith a remporté la statuette). Le marathon des récompenses semble avoir donné des envies de normalité à l’acteur, qui explique, toujours à « Variety », avoir « besoin d’être un peu ordinaire pendant un moment ».

Jeb isn't Garfield's first character to experience a crisis of faith. Like Pyre and Lafferty, Oscar winner Black was raised in the Mormon faith.

Andrew Garfield Gets Existential (The Cut)

With every project, Garfield is ultimately digging for the molten core of how to be human. In FX's 'Under the Banner of Heaven,' his character is forced ...

Religion and spirituality is kind of the quickest way to do a study on how we do that and where we go wrong, where we go right. Someone who really understands what it is to lead a country — anyone who fully, humbly gets that — would not want the responsibility. When you think about police officers, the power that a police officer has is such a heavy duty and a heavy burden. That is on the personal level, and that is on the universal collective level. Jeb is a police officer, and we see a lot of this story from that particular perspective. Right now we’re in a time where the culture is in a lot of fear, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of pain, a lot of non-belonging, a lot of dislocation and dissociation from the fruits of life and from lives of meaning, for multiple reasons. Hopefully every project I do is a kind of attempt to get to a North Star of meaning and how we make lives of true aliveness. For Jeb Pyre, what he’s going through is How do I hold on to this foundation of my life: my faith, my religion, my family, my community, my kids, the internal structure of how my psyche is organized? The only way to heal the wound is to go into the wound and actually heal from the base of that wound, rather than putting a Band-Aid over it. And it’s painful, but it’s the only way to live a life of truth and meaning — to be broken open by life and to let go of what we think we know. “Ultimately,” Garfield tells the Cut, “we can never know more than maybe one percent of what it is to be a person while we’re conscious.” With all the heart and wholeness he puts into his work, it makes sense that he has decided to take a break after Under the Banner of Heaven.

Après quinze ans de carrière, l’artiste nommé aux Baftas en 2011 pour «The social network» de David Fincher, puis aux Oscars et aux Golden Globes en 2017 avec «Tu ne tueras point» de Mel Gibson, semble donc vouloir se laisser le temps avant d’envisager l'avenir. Alors que depuis un an, son agenda ne lui a laissé que peu de répit, l’acteur de 38 ans a besoin de «repos». A l’affiche de la série «Sur ordre de Dieu», dévoilée ce mercredi sur Hulu, sur grand écran en fin d’année dernière dans «Spider-Man: No Way Home» et «Tick, Tick ... Boom!», qui lui a valu une nomination aux Oscars et le Golden Globe du meilleur acteur dans la catégorie film musical et comédie en janvier dernier, l’acteur semble avoir laissé des forces dans cette tournée des récompenses.

I'm just having a holiday," he said.

A moment like that feels like a profound privilege that I got to be on a late-night show and talk to someone who's so brilliant and smart and emotionally intelligent and talk about something that is important and vital. He continues: "So for me the beauty is, a moment like on Stephen Colbert's show where I get to talk about my mom, talk about my brother and my dad, in a way that felt like I didn't have to give everything away... As soon as it becomes too much about me, I have to kind of dance away from the edge of that and redirect attention back towards the thing that's actually worth speaking about and actually enhancing the conversation."

Andrew Garfield's 'Under the Banner of Heaven' character is fictional, but the FX on Hulu series is based on a real murder investigation.

To prepare for the role, Garfield said that he immersed himself in Mormonism, learning as much as possible about the radical FLDS sect, which practices polygamy. In the end, Black, who was raised Mormon, thought Garfield played the part perfectly. That’s because Jeb starts the series as a devout member of the LDS Church in Utah’s Salt Lake Valley before he’s ultimately forced to examine his Mormon faith while investigating the murder of Brenda Lafferty (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter.

“They lead with love, and they lead with all of these things that you wouldn’t think they would lead with when you see that opening sequence of what the end result was,” he told Rotten Tomatoes. “But not all love is created equal. (You can probably search for the answer if you want to know ahead of its reveal.) But that’s almost immaterial to the story, because, as Worthington said, “I never saw it as a whodunnit, but more like a whydunnit. “I think one of the best parts about what we do is that project to project, you get the opportunity to explore a realm or subject matter that you might not necessarily have had the chance to [learn about before].” Birmingham said he would head outside to spend time in nature (Lake Louise, Banff, and Jasper Park were his favorites). Edgar-Jones, Chloe Pirrie, and Tyner Rushing would have game nights, while Russell would decompress by watching sports. The subject matter of the series is dark, but it’s also based on a true story. “I think we’re watching the world in trouble in ways that are similar to how Utah was in trouble in the ’80s. People feel like their lives are going backwards. When Black read Krakauer’s book nearly 20 years ago, it brought back plenty of memories from his childhood and all the ways his curiosity, like Brenda Lafferty’s, was looked down on. And when you’ve got a crime like we were trying to solve, it’s a matter of trying to crack those secrets.” In doing his job, Jed is forced to go against everything he holds dear — and his colleague, Bill Taba (Birmingham), pushes him to do so. “What makes this a unique true crime story is the fact that it is all set within the Mormon church, and the politics and the culture and the rhythms of that particular religion,” Garfield explained. But in the case of the FX true-crime drama Under the Banner of Heaven, the story was too dark to live in after hours. I felt it was actually imperative to detach as much as humanly possible and have as much fun as possible and be as light and giddy and self-nourishing as possible in order to come back and give energy to this thing.”

Under the Banner of Heaven review – ambitious but uneven true ... (The Guardian)

Andrew Garfield and Daisy Edgar-Jones shine in a mixed adaptation of Jon Krakauer's 2003 book on a double murder by Mormon fundamentalists.

With his baby face and mostly smooth American accent, Garfield is more than convincing as a buttoned-up church guy fraying under the weight of cognitive dissonance – the gap between what he believes (that man is the authority of the household, that the church is the ultimate authority) and what he knows (that his wife is his equal, that Brenda and Erica deserve justice). Edgar-Jones, too, captures this – some form of unbreakable spirit – in her heartbreaking portrayal of Brenda, a faithful Mormon and nascent feminist. (Warning: if you, like me, find dog suffering/death to be unbearable, the second episode will be tough.) I don’t know if you can say it’s something inherently rotten about the LDS church, as the show sometimes seems to argue; what’s clear is that the church – an institution that secretly amassed a $100bn war chest – is more protective of its reputation than its people, like many other large institutions. (Krakauer had no official role on the TV series.) Black, who was raised Mormon, casts a similarly harsh and probing light on the LDS church, both in the specifics to this case (an unwillingness to help Pyre’s investigation – the Laffertys, we’re told, were “Utah Kennedys”) and the conservative faith’s general subjugation of women. Whatever support the Mormon historical record lent to Krakauer’s analysis in the book doesn’t translate here; the 19th century scenes – stark, hokey, mostly sans historical context – resemble budget History Channel re-enactments and do almost nothing to enhance the later stories. The seven-part limited series, created by Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk), follows the investigation into who slashed the throats of 24-year-old Brenda Lafferty (Normal People’s Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her 15-month-old daughter in July 1984. From the moment in the first scene when a phone call takes detective Jeb Pyre (Andrew Garfield) away from his two young daughters, there’s a sense that Something Bad is coming, that each step forward will sink deeper into darkness.

Andrew Garfield and Gil Birmingham talked being 'bigger than themselves' with 'Under the Banner of Heaven' — exclusive interview.

It felt really good to know that Gil was someone who was on a spiritual quest in his life just as I am and feel like we can access that in our work,” he told Us. “And, you know, astrologically speaking, he’s a Cancer. I’m a Leo. We are the mother and the father of the Zodiac. And when those two signs combine it’s a power unlike has ever been seen before on this earth.” “I had to say that,” Birmingham teased, adding of his costar: “It just comes down to the kind of human being you’re interacting with. It was kind of a great thing. Some people you’re waiting for a chance to get to work with. “If you’re in the business long enough, you cross paths often. Garfield, who recently was a staple in the awards circuit for Miranda’s tick, tick… It was a warmth immediately and I’m a big fan of Gil’s work as well. “It was funny once we started shooting, it was very, very different from what I’ve ever experienced. I just immersed myself in that culture.” And I think it’s a pretty cool way of working. Garfield plays Jeb Pyre, a devout Mormon and detective who questions his own beliefs as he investigates the case with his partner Bill Taba (Gil Birmingham). If we’re gonna go to work and you’re putting together a team, you’re gonna want it to be a good gang that wants to muck in and play together.
