He was called the greatest actor of his generation-three-time winner of Oscar and the reluctant star. “The work itself has always been, remained only a source of charm and pleasure, the work itself,” said Daniel Day-Lyuis. “The consequences of work have always been difficult for me. You know, you have become a trading representative for this work to some extent. And I'm not very good at that. I have never been. But I still do not. And this particular part of it, the social part, always left me I feel devastated. ”
AND Eight years ago, he announced his retirement. But now, the clarification: “I think it was a mistake,” he said. “I think it just created a kind of confusion. At that time I was never going to leave something. I decided to stop doing one job so that I could focus on another job. ”
It was a partially musical interludion: “My youngest son, Kausel, is a violin player. And as soon as the idea is rooted in my head, for example: “I wonder if I can make it a violin”, it was – you know that, as a rule, things, yes, it’s hard to let go of the thing. ”
He made three, and says that he has the fourth, but I just had not reached that. ”
De-Luis admits that he was surprised, feeling a strong impulse to return to acting: “And basically it was in response to the knowledge that Ronan would make films.”

The twenty-seven-year-old average son Ronan Day-Lyuis brings powers and expectations: his mother, director and author Rebecca Miller and grandfather, playwright Arthur Miller.
I asked Ronan: “Was your step to take off a surprise for your parents?”
“Not quite, because I started making small films with friends when I was like seven,” he answered. “When I was really young, I would always be the only annoying, trying to drive everyone to make a small film on our father, for example, a camera in the backyard or something like that.”
“ANEMON” is a director's debut, written in collaboration with his father, who is played by Ray Stoker. History unfolds in a remote cabin. Ronan said: “I think that the first type of concrete anchor was the idea of this person who seems to be in this form of suicide that he lives in the wilderness. For some reason that refers to his past, he, as it were, parted and expelled himself to this isolated place. ”
Twenty years later, his brother (which is played by Sean Bin) to return Ray Stoker to his son, whom he has never met. Daniel said: “I felt that I knew that Ray was quite early in the process of writing. I don't know why I did it. I just did. I can't explain it. “

Daniel Day-Lyuis legendary for his exciting training, as a fashion designer (“Ghostly Thread”), in the boxing ring (“boxer”), in a wheelchair (“My left leg”). But after more than 20 roles in the cinema, one character remains elusive: Daniel Day-Lyuis.
I asked that he leads him to such perfection.
“I strongly resisted the analysis, because, perhaps, from superstitions, I thought that this could interfere with the impulse, which was strong in me and still,” Daniel answered. “But I mean that I say that this is somehow connected with the same, which was very gloomy in my life when I was sent to school.”
His mother, actress Jill Balcony, arrived from the famous British family. His father, Cecil Day-Lyuis, who died when Daniel was 15 years old, was well known in literary circles, possible, not so known at home.

“It's not that we have never seen him,” Daniel said. “He was a good person. But my only conversations that I remember with him [was] When I had problems that I often had for all types of different things. This is my memory of this. It can be a distorted memory. ”
In 1968, his father was called the poet -laureate of the United Kingdom, and Daniel was sent to a boarding school at 11 years old. “I felt that I was at sea,” he said. “I had no friends. I was mocked. I was deftly, but in this place, as you think, how it is, it is simply unylused if you spent someone, what I did now from time to time. ”
Despite the fact that he begged, he remained tough: “It was my father’s decision. He believed that I should stay there, and that I would feel the feeling of defeat if I left. But I do not think, because he really did not see me, he did not understand the degree in which I had already defeated. “
And yet, a boarding school is where he found the work of his life. “I made several small pieces in school games,” he said. “And this is not the magic of the theater for me; It was an alternative world where everything around me seemed quite dark. It was a place that was lit for me. “
But Glory came with a darker side, since he was warned by the head of a prestigious summer theater program for teenagers 50 years ago. “He began a kind of warning fairy tale about the world of professional acting and theater, that at that time I was quite naive at that time. But something is what he said that day, he stayed with me. I was never surprised at work, but I began to think about the world in which I crossed.
It seems that he found a convenient place at the intersection in “Anemon”: reluctantly his father on the film and a devoted father outside the cell.
“Anemon” is the culmination of many years of cooperation between the father-son.

I asked Ronan about trust and confidence implied in this cooperation. “Yes, yes, he never implied that it was a big business,” he answered. “But I always felt this incredible feeling of pressure, not wanting to let him down. I felt that in fact, probably, more deeply than the type of external pressure of how the film can be received, or expectations that come with it, you know, a return. ”
An unexpected return was impatiently expected. Nevertheless, Daniel Day-Lyuis is muffled in his expectations: “We will not last long. The film can sometimes have a long life, and I believe that you cannot help but hope that something from your work will be significant for a person in the near times. But no, yes, there is no guarantee of this. ”
