Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Jude Law doesn’t want to take all the credit. He delivers one of the many go-for-broke performances in Ron Howard‘s star-studded “Eden,” a stranger-than-fiction survival thriller about European settlers who seek new life on a previously uninhabited island in the Galápagos.
As the official logline explains, “They believe they’ve found paradise — only to discover that hell is other people.” And yes, it’s actually based on true events.
Though his character of Friedrich Ritter, a doctor living in total isolation with his wife (Vanessa Kirby) before all these other people show up, goes completely nude in one scene of the film, Law insisted he wasn’t the only actor on set to take a creative leap of faith. “We all had to be audacious,” Law said at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of “Eden” during a post-screening Q&A after moderator Cameron Bailey suggested that playing Ritter “probably required a little more audacity” than the others. “You mean walking around naked?” Law responded with a laugh. “For me, the challenge was trying to find movement in his rigidity.
He didn’t want to be moved or bent. That was the challenge for me — and the nudity.” Law believes the camaraderie with his co-stars of Ana de Armas, Kirby, Sydney Sweeney and Daniel Brühl made it easier to act uninhibited on screen.
