![]() ![]() ![]() It's when I watch Adrien in his other films that I sometimes see an uncanny resemblance and even his gestures and posture make me look twice. GEORGE: Well, all I can say is that it's good casting. ME: What was it like to play Adrien Brody's father, especially looking so much like him? You constantly have to readjust your conclusions its a tonally engaging film. The audience is constantly in a position to make decisions about what is going on and to solve the mystery. Yes, you can get a scare and you can also let the events gradually reveal themselves. GEORGE: I guess you could categorize the film as a psychological thriller playing with the conventions of a horror film. ME: Would you classify this film as a psychological thriller or horror or in another genre of its own? For me, the strongest idea in the film is that truth will triumph no matter how well it is hidden or how deeply buried. I think the mark of any good film is that it can stand up to multiple viewings and each time the film reveals itself more and more- not only in its wealth of detail but in how it speaks to us- and for each of us there will be different meanings revealing themselves and these meanings will grow. ![]() GEORGE: I think this film says many things on different levels. ME: Can you speak to us about the film “Backtrack” and what the film (from your POV) is trying to say? In a recent interview with actor George Shetsov, this is what he had to say about playing the part of William Bower. “Backtrack” is a nail-biting psychological thriller of Hitchcockian proportions about the sins of the past coming to haunt us in the present. But the more he seeks the truth, the more his life and the lives of his family become endangered. Visited by ghosts of his childhood, Peter seeks to uncover his unconsciously buried memories. The film tells the story of psychologist Peter Bower (Adrien Brody) who is himself troubled by a forgotten past that has come back to haunt him. Writer/Director Michael Petroni's film “Backtrack” was sold to international territories at this year's EFM in Berlin by sales agent Bankside Films. ![]()
