Something very special is about to happen in the life of actor Max Minghella. Known to everyone because of his work in films and series, this British performer will release his first film Teen Spirit, in which he debuts as a director.
As he himself has confessed, it was a dream on standby until he found a story that really moved him, and that happened when the life of a young dreamer struggling to get out of the boredom of her daily life through singing began to take shape in his head.
Blood is thicker than water
Son of renowned filmmaker Anthony Minghella, this leap to direction is an important step for Max. Raised in recording sets, this 33-year-old actor shot his film on the Isle of Wight, a place in southern England where his father was born.
Thus, as a tribute to his father, the film has a powerful cast that gives the story a genuine character. The protagonist is a versatile Elle Fanning who not only acts, but also sings, dances and speaks two languages to play Violet.
A young woman on her way to becoming a pop star who will run into an odd mentor played by veteran Croatian-Danish actor, Zlatko Buric.
A very promising start for a first- time director who surprises with a musical soul and young aesthetic film.
