Franz Rogowski Explains Bird’s ‘Fantasy of a Naked Man Standing on a Skyscraper’


The actor sat down at Cannes to talk nude spas, fame, and his dreamlike character in Andrea Arnold’s new film.

This time, our protagonist is Bailey, a 12-year-old girl (newcomer Nykiya Adams) who lives with her distracted father (a boisterous, karaoke-loving Barry Keoghan), her soon-to-be stepmom Kayleigh (Frankie Box) and her adorable toddler, and her half-brother Hunter (Jason Buda), who’s part of a local teen vigilante justice gang in North Kent. Regardless, the unlikely pair begin to trust each other, and Bird steps in to help Bailey take care of her younger siblings who live across town with her mother (Jasmine Jobson) and eventually navigate an increasingly violent familial situation. My neighbor on the campsite was a highly intelligent man who was living in a huge American truck, and was a mechanic and a cancer survivor who told me all kinds of incredible stories about how he’d survived laying in the woods on cocaine, wondering how to get treatment.
