Written and directed by Joel Edgerton, and based on the memoir by Garrard Conley, Boy Erased centres its drama around a controversial gay conversion therapy. It stars Edgerton, along with Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Xavier Dolan, Troye Sivan, Jesse LaTourette and Britton Sear.
Having already established himself as a real force in front of the camera, it turns out that Joel Edgerton is quite the talent behind the lens too, and this much is evident in his latest film Boy Erased, where he shines in both areas. To celebrate the film's release we sat down with the the talented Aussie filmmaker to discuss this fascinating real-life story of a young boy (Lucas Hedges) who was sent away by his parents to enter into gay conversion therapy.
We asked why Edgerton feels this project 'picked him' and just how vital that sense of empathy is within this film, albeit towards characters who are reprehensible in so many ways. He also discusses his own religious upbringing and how that affected the movie, while we ended on a question about his greatest influences, and which director he feels left a biggest mark on him, and on his career - and he's worked with some of the very best.
PLOT:
The son of a Baptist preacher is forced to participate in a church-supported gay conversion program after being forcibly outed to his parents.
Boy Erased is released on the 2nd of November, 2018 in the US and on the 8th of February, 2019 in the UK.
