‘Went up the Hill’ Heads for Toronto Premiere With Vicky Krieps and Dacre Montgomery in Overlapping Roles as a Ghost: ‘Nursery Rhymes Are Dark’ (EXCLUSIVE)


‘Went up the Hill’ heads for a Toronto world premiere with Vicky Krieps and Dacre Montgomery in overlapping roles as a ghost.

Writer-director Samuel Van Grinsven says that his new film “ Went Up the Hill ” was inspired by a single image of two people in a room, a coffin between them, both equally mourning the person inside, but knowing next to nothing about one another. Van Grinsven, who previously directed the well-noted “Sequin in a Blue Room,” spoke to Variety ahead of the film’s Toronto premiere. It’s two characters searching for something in a place where it’s not commonly found — going to the top of a hill to find water doesn’t necessarily seem the most logical thing to do.
