14 Feb
Summary
- Charli XCX jokes she used Method acting since birth for 'The Moment'.
- Film reflects real-life intense moments from Charli's career.
- 'The Moment' marks the official end of Charli's 'Brat' era.
Charli XCX reflected on her role in the "Brat" mockumentary "The Moment," playfully stating she has been in character "Method from the day I was born." The singer revealed that the film loosely bases its characters on people she has encountered, and that she has drawn on intense personal experiences for her performance.
"The Moment," directed by Aidan Zamiri, chronicles Charli's "Brat" tour. It premiered at Sundance and became A24's fastest-selling limited release. The film is now rolling out in Europe following its Berlinale debut.
Charli confirmed that "The Moment" signifies the definitive end of her "Brat" album era. She explained that the film's narrative involves her character freeing herself from the "Brat" persona, mirroring the campaign's conclusion.
The mockumentary features Charli as an alternate version of herself, confronting the choice between artistic integrity and commercial success. Alexander Skarsgard plays a sinister director tasked with filming her tour. The cast also includes Rosanna Arquette, Kylie Jenner, and Rachel Sennott.
Initially, Charli was offered a traditional tour film, but she was only interested in subverting the format. "The Moment" was conceived as an innovative way to conclude the "Brat" campaign.
