In regards to the small British movie My Policeman, Grandage was surprised to receive a phone call from Styles’ agent. Styles wasn’t even top of mind for the project when Grandage was putting it together. The film tells the story of a love triangle in the late 1950s when homosexuality was illegal in the UK, between a gay museum curator, the married police officer he loves, and the latter’s wife, as well as the relationship’s ramifications forty years later. “On this occasion from Harry’s team, they said we passed this script to him because he is looking for another movie, he really responded to the material,” recalls Grandage. “It was a very inspiring meeting for me. You probably know but most of the time a director is in a room trying to convince an actor to be in a film. So, it was really interesting being in a room with somebody who had read the novel at least once, I could tell, read the screenplay multiple times, and was talking intelligently about what they wanted to bring to the role of Tom,” exclaims Grandage about Styles. Why the role of Tom? Grandage says that Styles was drawn to the part as it entailed him “playing a complex character of somebody who couldn’t really express their emotions.” “Somebody who was hidden behind themselves almost. Somebody who had almost emotionally shut themselves down from the people and the world they’re in because he was a policeman in a society where it was illegal to be gay. So, basically what do you do in that situation? You pull your card very, very close to your chest and give absolutely nothing away,” adds the director. “So, he was intrigued about playing an inner life rather than an outer life. That interested him. He was interested in playing something internal where very little was given away. In fact, so little was given away, both (characters) Marion and Patrick found it difficult to read him. That’s the point of the character. The only other point of the character is that you, the audience, have got to believe why two people fell in love with him. So, if they didn’t fall in love with him because of his personality giving stuff out, they must have just fallen in love with him because he’s incredibly beautiful and charismatic to look at. So, a combination of those two factors was something Harry understood straight away. He said the inner life of this character is so interesting because the outer life is sort of shut.” “I thought, ‘You get him. You completely get him,” says Grandage. But beyond a mere acting feat, My Policeman meant an even greater deal to Styles as it’s a film that spoke directly to his LGBTQ fanbase. For Styles “being able to connect with (them on) a story that would genuinely mean something and connect and help people understand what it could be like if you start rolling back laws,” emphasizes Grandage. “That was also incredibly important to him,” adds the director, “being involved in a movie that may well help be part of a bigger debate.” Styles was engaged in three full weeks of rehearsals before shooting My Policeman. Says Grandage about working with Styles and the cast, “I wanted all of those discussions, all the rehearsal, even the staging, particularly the intimacy stuff. I wanted all of it to happen in advance. I wanted all of us to have really discussed in some depth about what we wanted to get from the scene, even backstory, coming to the scene, where we’re going.”

Harry read the script, knew it by heart, And then ardently sought out Tom’s part; A truthful performance— The subtext’s enormous— When you can’t speak your truth, speak through art.

#larry #harry #harry styles #my policeman #mp promo #actor harry #so we got worked up yesterday thinking we were getting an mp trailer today #but the ‘first look’ ended up being a vanity fair article with two movie stills #the article pretty brilliantly navigates the big gay elephant in the room #it recognizes harry’s earnestness in pursuing the role #and respects his nonparticipation in discussing his sexuality #but leaves a whole lot to be read clearly between lines #the director says harry’s too green to bring any artifice to the role #that he brings himself to the role #which doesn’t necessarily mean gay part = gay actor #but i don’t think the ‘inner turmoil’ he speaks of is about which nail polish color to wear #the contrast between mp promo and dwd promo is jarring after just one article #mp is sincere and purposeful and reverential (of the story and the actors) and professional #dwd is just sex and banking on the grotesque fascination with an on-set romance #which if reversed (older male director and young novice female lead) would be chastized #but olivia’s version of feminism just takes old gross boy’s club rules and puts a skirt on them and thinks it’s empowerment #anyway #i hope harry’s acting is well received in all his endeavors #but i hope mp absolutely fucking smashes it #speaking of smashing it #louis’ concert in the philippines has been moved to a venue that holds 16000-ish versus 2000-ish!#limerick-hs #june 9 #2022

I'm laughing so hard at the fact Harry actively ignored Olivia at the DWD promo letting her carry her own train on her dress but had no problem carrying around Emma's dress train at a MP promo event. The first one is his "girlfriend" the second is just his co-star really shows a lot. 💀

...................

My Policeman jumps between two time periods: the 1950s, in which Tom (Styles) is navigating this love triangle with Marion (Corrin) and Patrick (Dawson); and 40 years later, when Tom (Linus Roache) and Marion’s (Gina McKee) strained life together becomes more complicated when Marion agrees to take in Patrick (Rupert Everett) after he suffers a stroke.

When director Michael Grandage, a prolific British theater director who found himself drawn to the story as a gay man, began looking for the trio of young actors to star in the 1950s-set story line, Styles was not on their radar. His team actually came to Grandage’s, saying that Styles had read the script and was very interested in the film.

Grandage met with Styles in his London office, and was immediately impressed by the pop star. Styles, known best for his time as a part of boy band One Direction and his successful solo career, hadn’t done much in the film world yet, making his acting debut in Christopher Nolan’s 2017 war film, Dunkirk. But Grandage says Styles came to that meeting as a fully formed actor. “He had read the script so many times that he knew every single beat of it at that meeting. I found that incredibly impressive. He knew other people’s lines; he knew all of his lines. He knew why he wanted to talk about it, why one scene worked this way and another worked,” says Grandage.

Styles’s career onstage and the massive fan following he’s amassed also made it clear that he and Tom actually have a lot in common. “This story is about two people that are in love with Tom, slightly obsessed with him,” points out Rogers. “Harry—the world is so transfixed on him, on his every move.”

And it would turn out, Styles’s limited experience as an actor worked well for this part, says Grandage. “Because he hasn’t done much, he hasn’t developed the ability to work out tricks or even lie. He can only do it truthfully and as he knows it,” he says, likening his naturalistic work to that of a young Albert Finney or Tom Courtenay. “They just bring themselves to the role, and it seems to be very uncomplicated in the way they achieve it and Harry had that,” he says.

While there’s been a diversifying in the sorts of love stories that make their way onto screen (including the recent release of gay rom-com Fire Island), conversations about who should be cast in the lead roles in a film like this are still ongoing and nuanced. Rogers and Grandage said there were several discussions about casting their three stars, and the importance that the LGBTQ+ community was represented. “We thought it would be wonderful to do a film like this and at least have some people in it who could speak to an experience that was authentic for themselves,” says Grandage. Since Patrick is the character who is most open about his sexuality, Grandage says it was important to find a pair of actors that would “be able to bring something of themselves to it and also be able to speak to it as well.” They found that with Dawson, whom Grandage had worked with several times in the theater, and Everett.

Corrin was cast before their breakout season of The Crown had been released. Marion is a relatively progressive character; in Corrin, who came out as nonbinary last July, the creative team found someone “you can’t take your eyes off of,” says Rogers.

As for Styles, who has grabbed headlines for his gender-bending fashion but doesn’t speak much on his sexuality, their focus was on casting someone who could come to grips with the character’s inner turmoil. “The whole point of Tom is that he is a character who is confused. It’s made more problematic by the fact that he’s a policeman, and he’s in a career that is about upholding the law. And the law in the country at the time is about everything he feels—the complexity of it is something that whoever was going to play younger Tom and older Tom needed to somehow understand and absorb,” says Grandage.

Grandage and the cast had about three weeks of rehearsal, a process he says went especially smoothly. “It was very, very easy, because all three of those younger actors are very open—they don’t make acting difficult and they don’t make the process of filmmaking difficult,” he says. “They come open-minded, wanting to please each other. They were there for each other.”

That rehearsal also gave the cast a chance to work through the film’s the sex scenes. Grandage says that they were carefully choreographed to avoid prurience: to “quite literally show something that was about ‘lovemaking’ in the broadest sense of the word, something that was choreographically interesting and not just some kind of thrusting sense of sex going on.”

Grandage was inspired by the 1959 Alain Resnais film Hiroshima mon amour, in which the body language is “very sculptural,” and brought on an intimacy coordinator to help the actors feel comfortable during the most sensual scenes, which were between Tom and Patrick. The most heartbreaking part of My Policeman, says Grandage, “is that these two men, when they’re together, seem to be free. And then when he has to have an act of lovemaking, or a sexual act, with his wife he seems to not have that freedom, just even in his body language.”

Despite having a star-studded cast and what felt like a unique story, Rogers says My Policeman wasn’t an easy film to get made. “I won’t be specific [with names]…but I think for the last eight years, we’ve always heard the most political versions of ‘this is going to be difficult to make’ or ‘no one’s going to watch this,’” he says. So to see it finally make its way to screens will feel especially sweet for all those involved.

And while My Policeman feels especially timely, it is, at heart, a story about romance and letting yourself find love. It’s a story that helped many, like Rogers, find their way to their true selves, and he hopes perhaps this film can do the same for others. “It’s never too late to have a love story,” says Rogers. “Don’t allow regret to weigh you down—there’s always hope.”
