Nouvelle interview (et photos) de Robert Patttinson pour le magazine Time Out
L'interview : (en anglais)
Robert Pattinson is every bit as intense as you might expect. He rests his famously chiselled chin on a clenched fist and considers the question I’ve put to him. ‘How do you make a spectacular wank?’ he muses. ‘A prize-winning wank?’
The London-born actor is telling me about a memorable episode in his latest film, ‘The Lighthouse’. It is, in his own words, a ‘ferocious masturbation scene’. To make matters more bizarre, they shot it on the opening day of filming. ‘It was fun doing it on the first day,’ he admits. ‘It was an icebreaker.’
Was there an element of wanting to impress director Robert Eggers? ‘We’d just done a week of rehearsals where I’d basically hidden everything from him,’ he says. ‘I felt I had to prove myself on the first day, so I went [for] the most extreme and grotesque… grotesquery.’
So how do you conjure up a ‘prize-winning wank’? He looks me in the eye and says in all seriousness: ‘Throw up on yourself.’
He reflects on this for a second. ‘They didn’t use that take in the end,’ he recalls. ‘It was a bit too much.’
Okay, aside from the whole making himself vomit while tossing himself off thing, he’s not that intense. He’s quite a laugh, actually. Which is handy, as we’ve decided to pelt him with petals and shove a load of flowers in his face for our photoshoot. And for the most part, he rolls with it. There’s only one thing he won’t do, which is holding flowers up to his eyes like glasses. ‘That’s where I draw the line,’ he says firmly. ‘It’s a little too Teen Vogue for moi.’
Robert Pattinson parle de la nouvelle campagne Dior Homme avec Esquire Middle East
L'interview : (En anglais)
A funny, quirky, strong, self-assure and a dance-like-nobody's-watching attitude is on display as Robert Pattinson crushes it in his performance in the newly-launched fragrance campaign for Dior Homme.
Accompanied by a soundtrack of Lenoard Cohen's "I'm Your Man", The Batman star showcases a roadmap of every man that you want to be... even making to otherwise awkward dance moves look cool.
"It was interesting to play all those roles in such a short stint," Pattinson tells Esquire Middle East. The face of Dior Homme since 2013 described the part in the film where he put a protective arm across his female companion as "really cheesy on set...but when you see the final edit it looks great"
Tasked with creating 'a portrait of the modern man' Dior perfumer Francois Demachy realised the latest fragrance by with a strong woody scent.
"The signature of this composition is an overdoes of sensual woods," says Demachy. "The new Dior Homme gets straight to the point; it claims a frank, solid simplicity. Appealing, but conceals an enveloping softness."

Nouvelle interview de Robert Pattinson, Robert Eggers et Willem Dafoe avec Dazed
L'interview : (En anglais)
Robert Eggers has a saying: nothing good happens when two men are trapped inside a giant phallus. In the director’s new film, The Lighthouse, a testosterone-fuelled duo, played by Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, are stranded on the coast of Maine, in 1890, with only a lighthouse and each other for company. It’s the ultimate “why won’t you fuck already?” movie. In these claustrophobic quarters, the pair fist-fight and bicker non-stop, but do so passionately, with homoerotic tension, hard gazes, and wrestling moves that, if slowed down, could be mistaken for foreplay. As the two sexually frustrated guys stare each other down, the very erect, penis-shaped building behind them starts to resemble a thought bubble.
Of the two men, Thomas Wake (Dafoe) is the older, dominant figure, yet also a bearded, flatulent pastiche who mutters phrases like “yer fond of me lobster, ain’t ye?” and “yer fastly a true blue wickie in the making, you is”. Ephraim Winslow (Pattinson), in contrast, is more unhinged and manic; in the script, the apprentice is described as “like a dog that’s been beaten and caged too many times”. With nowhere to go at night, these two opposing energies clash in drunken arguments that unfold like chess matches: will somebody end up dead by morning? Or is it about attempting to penetrate the other’s personal space?
Eggers first established himself as a genre extraordinaire with his 2015 debut, The Witch, a supernatural folk horror starring Anya Taylor-Joy. But whereas The Witch was feminine, deeply serious and widescreen, The Lighthouse is unbearably masculine, knowingly ridiculous and squeezed into a square-shaped frame. “The Lighthouse wasn’t intended to be a phallic companion piece to The Witch,” Eggers tells Dazed, visiting the UK for the London Film Festival. “But that’s clearly what it is.”
Shot in black and white, in grainy 16mm, with a 1.19:1 aspect ratio, The Lighthouse seems to mimic a lost film from a bygone era, but Eggers insists otherwise. “There are nods to the past that an uneducated cinema viewer will perceive as just ‘an old movie’ in its look. But the way we light it is not from the early sound period.” The 36-year-old director gives a technical explanation about exposure, kerosene lamps, and how he used practical lighting fixtures for each scene. “We’re trying to create our own thing.”
Although A24 heavily pushed Uncut Gems and The Farewell during awards season, their sole Oscar nomination was for Jarin Blaschke’s cinematography on The Lighthouse. Eggers notes, “The Witch was intended to be restrained and subtle, and to not draw too much attention to the camera. But The Lighthouse screams, ‘Look how cool this shot is!’ in a way that’s vulgar and juvenile. The whole movie is over the top.”
That said, The Lighthouse is more than just a technical exercise. There is a pensive, percolating humanity to the two tragic figures and their Beckettian existence – it’s like Waiting for Godot with mermaids and decaying seagulls. Or, rather, it’s like a toxic male version of Céline Sciamma’s Portrait of Lady on Fire. In Sciamma’s period-drama, two women fall in love on a desolate island; Adèle Haenel gazes into Noémie Merlant’s eyes and affectionately details how the latter touches her forehead when lost for words, and how she breathes through her mouth when troubled, and so on.
That same scene unfolds in The Lighthouse but with Winslow specifying, at length, about why he despises his colleague’s physicality, stench (“you smell like jism, like rotten dick, like curdled foreskin”), and everyday behaviour. “And if you hate someone, you can’t stop noticing their farts,” Pattinson adds, giggling in agreement. “I definitely see it as a really strangely toxic love story.”
