Adam Driver #48 (Cannes 2019)
Oct. 28th, 2020 02:10 pmI recently saw a brief clip of an interview with Adam from June of 2014, in which he mentioned that one of the things he enjoyed most about filming Tracks was that he got to go to Australia. When the interviewer expressed surprise, he gently touched on the fact that his life up til then hadn't included a lot of opportunities to do much traveling, bless his midwestern middle class cotton socks. Given the globe-trotting that he's done since then, I think it's safe to say he's seen a bit more of the world now.
We all know that promoting films is not a part of the film-making process that Adam enjoys; he endures it for the sake of making sure the movie is successful, and given his comments in many interviews I'm absolutely certain he'd give it up in a heartbeat if he could. But it does mean that he gets to travel to some beautiful places. And so I wonder, knowing how much getting to go to Australia meant to him, what he might have been thinking as he glanced out over Cannes. I'll never know. But I sincerely hope that he was happy to get to be there, and that he's able to hold onto that joy for years to come.

My best guess is that this one took about 8 hours to draw.
