Curiozități

They is a 2017 American drama film directed by Anahita Ghazvinizadeh and starring Rhys Fehrenbacher. It was screened in the Special Screening section at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. They was Ghazvinizadeh's first feature film.

Production

At the time of production, Rhys Fehrenbacher, portraying J, was in the process of transitioning as a trans man; Ghazvinizadeh met Fehrenbacher in Chicago while researching the transgender population in that city.

The recording of the dialog took place after the production of the film; on many occasions the faces and mouths of the actors are off screen or obscured while they speak. Nick Schager of Variety stated that "While one would like to give the film the benefit of the doubt and say that the audio/video disconnect is another reflection of J’s internal divide, it mostly feels like a technical miscalculation".

According to Baughan, "the film’s enigmatic aesthetic" makes it obvious that the director learned under Abbas Kiarostami.
