DESCRIPTION

Emory Cohen (“Smash,” “New York, I Love You”) stars as AJ, the son of Bradley Cooper’s character. He plays a petulant, spoiled son who must realize the sins of his father for his road to redemption. I enjoyed this movie from director Derek Cianfrance (“Blue Valentine”). Ryan Gosling reteams with Cianfrance for this daring look at familial setting. In this interview, Cohen and I talked about:

*** When he first saw the script what did he think?
*** What attracted him to his character AJ?
*** He taught me how to say Schenectady correctly!
*** How he create a perfect chemistry with Dane DeHaan who plays Ryan Gosling’s son?
*** How he bonded with DeHaan through movies! Marlon Brando or James Dean? Al Pacino or Robert De Niro? Bradley Cooper or Ryan Gosling?

Have fun!
