In a highly anticipated return to the screen, legendary actor Daniel Day-Lewis has ended his 8-year acting hiatus to star in the family drama 'Anemone', directed by his son Ronan Day-Lewis. The film, which had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival last month, follows a middle-aged man, portrayed by Sean Bean, on a journey into the woods where he reconnects with his estranged hermit brother, played by Day-Lewis.
During a recent discussion, the three-time Oscar winner shared that his decision to take on the role was driven by a "pure wish" to work with his son. He described the film as an exploration of brotherhood and the reuniting of estranged siblings, with the "lack of need for words" being a key aspect that interested him.
