Joe Wright talks about trying to convey ‘the seduction of fascism’ in his ambitious Mussolini biopic ‘M. Son of the Century’

Published on:

“I’m using the Chemical Brothers music, and the whole thing is a mashup between Dziga Vertov’s Man With a Movie Camera and Howard Hawks’s Scarface and ’90s rave culture — it’s really an attempt to express the energy and the dynamism and the kinetic momentum of the period. I thought about using period music, but I was worried it would just feel old-fashioned. What I want the audience to experience is what it felt like to be there at the time, and how extraordinary it must have felt, and how thrilling it must have felt. The seduction of fascism.”
