“You Were Never Really Here” synopsis

Joe, a former military man, is a specialist who undertakes searches for missing persons. One day, the request that came to him was different from usual. The client is a state senator. Using his favorite hammer, he rescues Nina, the daughter of a congressman who has been captured by an organization, but she remains unresponsive, as if she lacks all emotion. Then, the two learn on the news that their client's father committed suicide by jumping.

The female director that famous actor Joaquin Phoenix couldn't help but work with



Joaquin Phoenix has now surpassed his status as a monster actor and is now hailed as one of the most outstanding figures in the film industry. Although there are many filmmakers who would like to cast him, the reality is that he is too busy to keep up with his schedule.


However, if the director and actor truly believe that they absolutely want to work with this person, they can somehow overcome any hurdle, no matter how high.


``You Were Never Really Here'' is also a work that came to fruition from this kind of thinking. It was a miracle that my schedule was free. Due to Joaquín's next film being slightly delayed, the filming of this film was suddenly squeezed into this short period of time. The time limit from the decision to the start of filming was only two months. Normally this would be impossible, but humans can do it if they put their mind to it. The talented staff made all the preparations and decided to welcome Joaquin, a famous actor with the personality of a rock star.

For Joaquin, this is the first time he has decided to appear in a movie without meeting the director. One of the reasons I readily agreed was that an acquaintance of mine was working as a producer, but more than that, as someone who works as an actor, I think the opportunity to work with Lynne Ramsey seemed extremely attractive to me.


Director Lynne Ramsey is such a person who is known only to those in the know. She is a film director with an artistic spirit at heart. If I decide to do this, I won't bend. Don't pander to the masses. I'm going to dig deep to find the answer. Even for Joaquin, who has worked with many masters, geniuses, and geniuses, collaborating with Ramsey was a Big Being There that he never wanted to miss.
