For Benicio Del Toro, Things We Lost In The Fire
crackles with conflict
Benicio Del Toro has a penchant for playing troubled characters.
His latest is a junkie desperately trying to go straight in
Things We Lost in the Fire.
What’s the attaction of dark roles?
“They pay better,” he joked. “No, I don’t know -
I guess I understand them.Or think I do.”
Wouldn’t he ever want to be a romantic leading man?
“Well, yeah. I am at home,” he answered.
While some actors count the number of pages they have
in a script and others mine their past and present relationships,
Del Toro doesn’t actually look at the characters.
“I look more at the story and if I like the story,
if a story has a journey, then usually there’s gonna be
conflict inside the character. If a story’s gonna have
conflict, the characters are gonna have conflict.
So I like stories with conflict.”
Del Toro’s junkie Jerry has plenty. A lawyer who went
from cocaine to crack to heroin to skid row, he’s invited
by his best friend’s widow (played by Halle Berry)
to move in and help with her two young
children.
To avoid druggy cliches, the actor researched the realities.
“I went out, met some people, got information about addiction,”
he said, citing an addiction expert physician and then
read “William Burroughs’ ‘Junkie,’ it’s a pretty good
book about addiction.”
Del Toro met recovering addicts, attended N.A. meetings.
“And then life,” he added. “I don’t know, in my case
I’ve had friends, friends of friends, family friends,
that have had problems with addiction, so there’s life too.
You draw from life. That was my recipe for
my research.”
A Best Supporting Actor Oscar winner for Traffic (2000),
Del Toro, 40, is back in the year-end awards race.
“Well, it’s an honor, to be part of a list with actors
and actresses and filmmakers, being part of that
tradition, being in the books, that’s fantastic.
But you don’t do it for that.”
As for this year, he smiled. “If it happens, let it rip!
And if it doesn’t, yeah. Kicking and screaming,”
he laughed. “Look at yourself in the mirror and
try to accept it anyways.”

Kellvin Chavez of Latino Review interviewed Susanne Bier
by telephone about Things We Lost In The Fire.
Here's an excerpt of the interview:
Latino Review:
Did you do research in dealing with recovery and
drug addicts in regard to Benicio del Toro's character?
Bier:
"Very much so. Very much so. We had an NA liaison officer
who was sort of involved and who spoke to Allen Loeb
and also I had somebody while we were shooting. I also went
to a couple of NA meetings. Benicio was talking to a professor
in addiction as well. I mean, we did quite a lot in order to
get it right. One of the things that we wanted to be very clear
about was not making drugs look sexy. We wanted to
portray addiction, but not make drugs sexy."
Latino Review:
How was it casting Benicio in this movie?
Bier:
"Well, he's fantastic. I mean, I would probably want to
cast him to play Mary Poppins. I think that he could play
pretty much anything. He's a brilliant, brilliant character actor
and he's also got a crazy sense of humor. I think that he does
perceive the world as being slightly surreal and that reflect
upon everything he does. He's got a sort of lightness to him
where even in the most painful moments there's a sort of
acceptance of the world being absurd in a way,
which makes him very, very funny."

Six thousand Oscar voters will receive a screener
of Things We Lost in the Fire on Friday -- the same day
the film opens in theaters. The day-and-date mailing of
the film is unprecedented at this time of year.
Traditionally, studios like to wait a month or two
after films' autumn bows to issue screeners.
As for the early mailing, "I think it is a great idea
based on the glut of movies in the marketplace,"
said Par prexy of worldwide marketing Gerry Rich.
"Invariably, Academy members are going to be
inundated with DVD screeners at the end of the year.
We really believe in this movie, in its direction and
in its performances. We thought, 'Let's seize this opportunity.' "

Benicio sat down with Sun Media for a one-on-one.
The following is an excerpt of the interview which
was published today by Sun Media:
"There was a freedom in front of the camera," Benicio explains
about working with director Suzanne Bier on the interactions
of
his and Hally Berry's character.
"There was a freedom in exploring. There was one scene
where we were trying to decide if Jerry should kiss Audrey
and it was not scripted. We were doing it without the kiss
and there was something not working and I could see
that Suzanne, she wasn't too happy with the way it was
going
because there was nothing going on, really.
"She came up and said, 'I think you should try to kiss her.'
I said, 'Don't mind if I do!' I thought it was a really interesting
moment of collaboration where things were being explored
in front of the camera."
Benicio said that people
he knows react strongly to the
idea of such heavy drama. "People say, 'Do you take those
emotions home? Do you stay in character?'
"You let it go. Just like you let go of the movie. You have to
let it go because it goes through many different hands,
and you just hope that the hands that are dealing with
what you gave will understand what you were doing and
also keep it or nurse it or use it.
"I've been lucky to be with people who want to do
the movie for the same reasons."
Benicio also mentioned that he wants to direct a
film himself.
"I've been involved with films now for 19 years. It's a whole
education in movies and how to approach it. Where I am
now is that I want to explore other sides of filmmaking,
maybe go and try to tell my story, be at the helm for once.
"I don't want to just stay acting. I do want to act,
I'm just being very picky. But I would also like to tell a story.
I don't know what story but I've got a lot of stuff to do right now."
"Then I would just like to sit down and
come up with something and maybe direct it."

Here's an exerpt of Rex Reed's review of Things We Lost In The Fire:
"...[the film]
provides the always jolting Benicio Del Toro with
one of his most sensitive roles... [his] astonishing brilliance
from scene to scene is unwavering... it is
Benicio Del Toro who shocks and enthralls.
This character actor is always deeply committed,
astonishing to look at and full of surprises,
but in Things We Lost in the Fire he is a total revelation.
His drug withdrawal scenes are truly harrowing and realistic,
and the film gives him a rare opportunity to be tough,
sensitive, vulnerable and manly at the same time."

In a recent interview with The Varsity,
director Susanne Bier talked about working
with Benicio in Things We Lost In The Fire.
Here's an excerpt of that interview:
VARSITY:
"How did you find working with Benicio Del Toro
and Halle Berry? I think these are some of the
best
performances they’ve given."
SUSANNE BIER:
"Movie stars are not necessarily great actors…
but these ones are. These are great actors.
And they want at all moments to make a deep
description of the state of mind they are in,
so it was very fun and stimulating. I would rehearse
with them every morning. I would rehearse with them
before the crew would come onto set, and they would
change dialogue, we’d do a whole lot of stuff to it,
and that sort of gives the actors a space to be creative
and yet maintain their integrity. So when the crew comes,
we feel very comfortable with what we’re doing.
Benicio came to set every morning having re-written
each scene, and most of it was brilliant, and some of it
might have been brilliant but did not necessarily work within
the story but might have worked for his character.
It
was like a constant exchange of thoughts."

When Reed Tucker of the New York Post asked Halle Berry
"Why do chicks find Benicio so sexy?", Ms. Berry replied:
"He's mysterious. You don't quite know who he is,
no matter how long you know him. You get a feeling
you'll never know him. I think women respond to that.
And he's talented. If someone is talented,
I don't care what they look like, that's sexy."

In an article published by Shawn Adler for MTV News,
Benicio talked about the Che project in the following terms:
“Not many people know much about him,
especially here - they know about him but they don’t
know a lot about him. [But] being Latin American, the history
is important to me. It’s about going and doing justice
to [that] history. I don’t want to invent stuff,” Benicio declared.
“In other movies you can say, well, we’ll have the character
do this and that. It’s harder [this] way.
It’s difficult but it’s interesting.”
In re-teaming with Soderbergh, Benicio said that
he’s got
the perfect companion for this intense historical journey.
“We’re in good hands,” he said smiling.
“It’ll be a demented, hard fun.”

and you need to keep hoping for the good."
EI:
"Where do you get hope, and what inspires you?"

"Hmm…good movies, good books, good music, and good food."

"And good women?!"
Benicio:
"Yeah, good women!"
EI:
"Speaking of women, how was it working with Halle Berry
and director Susanne Bier?"
Benicio:
"Great! Quite a challenge--the woman thing.
Susanne Bier is a great director and Halle a great actress.
That’s the way it is. There is nothing different.
Can’t live with them, can’t live without them.
I’m lucky to work with talented people."
EI:
"What can we expect from Che?"
Benicio:
"Well, I don’t know. We’re in the middle of shooting in Spain.

It will surprise me as well."
EI:

Benicio talks to Vancouver's The Georgia Straight
about Things We Lost In The Fire:
"It's a weird story of three good Samaritans
who are blind, in a way, and they're on the same
road but they're
helping each other."
When asked why he gravitates
toward troubled characters,
Benicio replied "I guess I understand them. Or think I do.…
If a story has a journey, usually there's going to be conflict
inside the character. If the story is gonna have conflict,
the characters are gonna
have conflict. I like stories with conflict."
When asked how he prepared for the role of Jerry,
Benicio listed numerous sources. "I met with a doctor
who's an expert in addiction…read some literature
about addiction–William Burroughs's Junkie…
met some recovering addicts, went to an AA meeting,
and then life. I've had friends, and friends of friends,
family of friends, that have had problems with
addictions. There's life, too; you draw from life."
Asked if he would ever want to play a romantic leading man,
Benicio said: "Well,
yeah. I am at home," to much laughter.
Although the two lead characters don't become
intimately involved in Things We Lost In The Fire,
romantic attraction percolates. "I remember there was
one scene where we decided whether Jerry should try
and kiss Audrey. And it wasn't scripted, and we were
doing it without the kiss and there was something not
working and…I could see that she [Bier] wasn't too happy
with the way it was going, 'cause there was nothing
going on, really, and then she came and she said,
'I think maybe you should try and kiss her,'
and I said, 'I don't mind if I do.'"

"I want to be involved in things that I want to watch,
so that's why. I might be picky, I am picky," he adds.
"Difficult roles are tricky. To me, they're more
complex so they are also difficult, yes."

Todd McCarthy said the following about Benicio's
performance in Things We Lost In The Fire:
"A live-wire performance by Benicio Del Toro...
the one player who genuinely seems to live
in the moment and can bring it alive is Del Toro.
Drug addict characters famously provide abundant
possibilities for the sort of intense emoting actors love,
and while Del Toro doesn't avoid this entirely, he captivates
by often going the other way, expressing a certain
lightness and humor that cuts against expectations.
You never doubt Jerry is hooked, but Del Toro's charm
and behavioral variety provide the man with more
dimension than is provided on the page."

In an article published by the Daily News, Benicio was
quoted as saying that his name "is a mouthful in any
language, even in Spanish... There was a lot of pressure
to change my name for a little bit... I understand it.
There are many people who changed their names
to be in the movies, but I just didn't want to, and I didn't."
Talking about Things We Lost In The Fire, Benicio added:
"The character is someone who's sick and gets the
motivation to get better. It's not a straight line.
It's the journey of getting better."
Talking about The Argentine and Guerrilla, Benicio said:
"Portraying such an icon is a huge undertaking.
You have nightmares everyday. It's very difficult, but
you just do it. You know it's never going to be perfect;
it can't be. We're just trying to stay true to the historical
period, showing what he tried to accomplish."

Here's what film critic Jeffrey Wells had to say

"...Benicio del Toro's lead performance as a heroin addict
struggling to recover and stay that way is the best I've seen
this year from anyone of either gender, country or classification..."
"...And there can be no beating around the bush about Del Toro's
performance as Jerry the junkie, a once-successful lawyer
who's slid down into the pit. Over the course of this two-hour film
he climbs out of his drug hole, brightens up, chills out and settles in,
relapses, almost dies, and then gradually climbs out of it again.
I'm starting to see this actor ... as almost God-like. He's holding
bigger mountains in the palm of his hand, right now, than
De Niro held in the '70s and '80s. He's one of the top four or five
superman actors we have out there. There isn't a frame of his
performance that doesn't hit some kind of behavioral bulls-eye."
"...Jerry is the best thing he's done up to now --
twitchier than Fenster in The Usual Suspects, weaker and
more vulnerable than Javier Rodriguez in Traffic, less ravaged
and down-heady than Jack Jordan in 21 Grams."
