As far as assembling the star-studded lineup, It wasnt hard to get them, Price says.
Everybody wanted to be a part of this.
All people wanted to do was talk about Anton.
They would say honored, Irina elaborates.
Because everybody wants to see him alive.
Thats true, Doremus says.
Such an extraordinary life, such a unique life.
For anybody, all of us to be a part of it is just an absolute gift.
The first thing Viktor said when he saw it was Anton would have loved the film, Doremus recalls.
Although he would say, A film aboutme?
Those people are talking about me so nicely!
Thats so true, Doremus agrees.
Its not your standard documentary at all.
So naturally,Love, Antoshapremiered at Sundance, one of Hollywoods leading venues for not-your-standard-fare.
Five of the actors films screened at the Utah fest now six.
Its a love letter to family and to cinema, and thats what I wanted to make.
Those are the two things Anton loved most in life, movies and his parents.
And masturbating, Doremus jokes (which, yes, a few anecdotes in the doc support this).
