The Interview

Welcome to The Interview Page!

Here you’ll find screencaps and quotes of this riveting movie that has won AFI (Australian Film Institute) Awards for best film, best original screenplay and best actor (Hugo Weaving).

Innocent man, or serial killer? In this fascinating and brilliantly executed crime thriller, Hugo Weaving stars as Eddie Fleming, a loner whose uncertain innocence or guilt elevates to an edge-of-the-seat mind-game.

In the early hours of the morning, Eddie is abruptly grabbed by the police as the prime suspect of an unsolved crime. Scared and confused, Eddie firmly defends his innocence despite the unrelenting, strong-armed tactics of his interrogators, Detective Steele (Tony Martin) and Detective Senior Constable Wayne Prior (Aaron Jeffrey – Strange Planet).

Is Eddie the victim of Detective Steele’s obsession to discover the truth, or is he a clever killer? (from the DVD cover)

This is absolutely one of Hugo Weaving’s best movies and it is no wonder this performance has earned him the AFI award as best actor.

For the first half of the movie you can’t help but feel sorry for Eddie Fleming: confused, scared, no confidence at all, stuttering… You really do believe it’s all been a big mistake and that the police should leave the poor guy alone.

But half-way through the interview there is such a change in his words, his body language and his attitude towards the two officers, that you start to wonder if it’s still the same Eddie Fleming that now is very matter-of-factly talking about murdering half a dozen people for no particular underlying reason.

The final scene is absolutely amazing: Fleming leaves the police station and his body language and facial expression transform themselves radically as he walks through the crowds, as he is unable to suppress a smile of satisfaction. Just amazing!
