Aurora and ‘Adolescence’ Director Philip Barantini on the Show’s Devastating Needle Drop Finale: ‘I Could Not Stop Crying’
Aurora and 'Adolescence' director Philip Barantini discuss the impact of the Netflix show and the use of "Through the Eyes of a Child" in the finale.
The Guardian called it “the closest thing to TV perfection in decades” and the topics raised on the show – incel culture; Andrew Tate’s influence on young boys; the dangers of the manosphere – are brought back to the forefront of U.K. and global political discourse. Directed by Philip Barantini ( Boiling Point), the show uses one-take shots for entire episodes, allowing tension to build and to demand viewers attention; to pick up intimate moments of doubt, fear and sadness. It’s always so nice when something that you’ve created from your soul, and obviously kind of at the same age of the characters in Adolescence — which is also very heartwarming, to hear the vocals of me from such a long time ago being sung almost like a classmate, like one of them in the show.
