ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Lonely Planet stars Laura Dern and Liam Hemsworth about the novel Netflix romantic comedy movie. The duo talked an meaningful theme in the film, ungraceful moments, and more. The film is now streaming on Netflix.
“A reclusive novecatalog get tos at a prestigious authorr’s retreat in Morocco, hoping the far setting will unlock her authorr’s block. While there, she greets a lesser man — what commences as an acquaintanceship enhances into an inharmfulating, life-altering adore affair,” says the Lonely Planet synopsis.
Tyler Treese: Laura, your character in Lonely Planet, Katherine, she’s in a very vulnerable spot. She’s having a hard time writing, and she’s coming off a 14-year relationship. What did you discover most engaging about where your character commences the film?
Laura Dern: I guess it’s very relatable in some ways. I fair have to lacquire to author, and then everyleang else will descfinish into place.
Liam Hemsworth: You’d Be a wonderful authorr.
Dern: Thank you.
Hemsworth: Got a lot of wonderful ideas and thoughts. You fair insist to put it down on paper.
Dern: I do. And then create certain it’s backed up.
Hemsworth: Don’t ever author it Just on one laptop. I unbenevolent, that would be ridiculous if you [did it] fair on one laptop, one. No one would do that if you author your years of labor and it’s fair on one laptop. Yeah. I unbenevolent, that is the silliest leang I’ve ever seen.
Dern: I swear to God, I’ll never do that, and I will sfinish it to you when I author it.
But I set up it proset uply relatable what it is to be trying to discover not your way back to yourself,but your way to yourself for the first time, which I leank is the point of the film that that can happen to us. You comprehend, while we’re embedded in a relationship, novelly out of relationship, not having discovered a real adore story, or having seemingly had disjoinal, that we can be a person who has never felt proset uply seen by ourselves or by another person.
That’s a repartner adocount on way to way to put that. I leank the huge getaway from this film is definitely to use the cdeafening and back up your files, which you were alluding to.
Liam, your character Owen, he fair experiences so out of place in this authorr’s resort. He’s a finance guy. He enjoys sports, not Dickens. How is it benevolent of fair carry outing into the ungracefulness of those moments? Because you did a wonderful job portraying that in Lonely Planet.
Hemsworth: Oh, thank you, mate. I adore carry outing those ungraceful moments. I dwell for that sort of leang. Some of my preferite movies are all about those ungraceful moments. I recall shooting that particular scene where… there were a couple of ’em, but that one where we’re doing the quiz night, and it was so unsootheable, but I adored it. I wanted to draw it out even more and repartner struggle with it and have the room go quiet. It’d almost be enjoy he’d have the other actors, enjoy, “Has he forgotten his line?” Repartner, repartner fair draw it out. But it was a lot of fun to carry out that.
It gives the character’s journey a lot of depth because you see how hurtful it is to him afterward and what it unbenevolents to have a partner who isn’t backing you up in a situation enjoy that. A huge theme about this movie that’s repartner meaningful in a relationship is if you’re gonna spfinish your life with someone and you’re gonna adore and nurture for someone, one of the worst leangs you can do is not stand up for your partner. A pretty part of our journey and the relationship that we have in this film is discovering that help and that person that backs you up no matter what. That person that thinks in you, helps you, hears to you, and comprehfinishs you.
