    "Eternity", interview with director David Freyne Angelo Acerbi

Podcast | Download

Opening film at the 43° Torino Film Festival, “Eternity”, as the title suggests, plays a central role in the film’s exploration of love, happiness, and the afterlife. The film balances humor and depth, inviting viewers to reflect on their own ideas of happiness and love while being entertained by a heartfelt comedy. We met with the director David Freyne to explore the world behind a delightful and intelligent comedy.

The Inspiration Behind Eternity’s Afterlife Concept

The idea of “Eternity” originated from personal experiences and cultural reflections. David Freyne, raised Catholic in Ireland, found the traditional notions of the afterlife rigid and limiting. Creating a universe where individuals can freely choose their afterlife allowed for a more liberating perspective. This concept echoes universal themes across religions and philosophies, emphasizing personal agency in defining our eternal existence. The film’s portrayal of eternity encourages audiences to think about how they would shape their own everlasting journey.

An homage to Classic Hollywood Comedy

The film pays homage to the golden era of Hollywood comedies by channeling the spirit of directors like Billy Wilder and Preston Sturgess. This influence is evident in the film’s light touch on big themes, blending humor with emotional depth. The performances by actors like Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller embody a classic Hollywood star quality, bringing a timeless charm to the story. The comedic timing and ad-libbing performances elevate Eternity, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking, while seamlessly exploring the profound concept of eternity itself.


Plot

In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with, and her first love, who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive.
