Jessie Buckley and Jesse Plemons star in the audaciously mercurial comedy “I’m Thinking of Ending Things,” which begins streaming this week on Netflix.. “That’s incredibly freeing, both as an audience member and as an actor. His ideas move beyond the accepted ‘normal’ constructs of reality and filmmaking itself. His work makes me think differently, feel differently. I believe this is the very purpose of art.
Reid had always considered his book virtually unfilmable. But after speaking with Kaufman about the project, he became excited by the prospect of handing over his story to him. “Not only did the material resonate with Charlie but he was going to take it and put it through his filter and make it something new,” Reid says. “I didn’t want him to just feel like he had to film the book. That wouldn’t be nearly as interesting or successful as if he felt completely free to make of it what he wanted.
Having seen and pondered all of Kaufman’s pictures, Plemons, like many, imagined the filmmaker to be some kind of reclusive wizard and was a bit intimidated by the prospect of meeting him. “I guess unconsciously, because of that reputation, I was expecting that,” the actor says. “I was in disbelief just at the thought that he had any idea who I was. But from the first phone call on, I was blown back by how nice and easy to talk to Charlie is. There’s no facade or airs whatsoever with him.
