The triangleofsad actor discusses his approach to playing his deeply complicated character, Carl, in Ruben Östlund Palme d'Or winning film.

Photo by Getty; image treatment by Ashley Peña., we first meet Harris Dickinson’s Carl at a casting call for fashion models, during which an interviewer shouts at a lineup of shirtless men to do various poses for “grumpy” and “smiley” brands.

Having played a series of dashing men over the course of his career, it’s not difficult to see why Dickinson fits Carl so well. Over Zoom, he tells me he hadn’t been aware of the fact that people online thirst over him , and I joke that the tweets may have been a factor in Östlund’s decision to cast him as a well-oiled model.

I always saw Carl as someone who was deeply complicated and a bit of a mess. I think he makes a lot of poor decisions.

It’s a complete foil to his relationship with Yaya, which can also be considered transactional, since they benefit each other in terms of social media clout. He starts out having an awareness of that and knowing they have been put together because of her profile. Then he realizes he wants more meaning than that. It’s interesting because what he ends up looking for in Yaya, he finds in someone else—in a much more specific and unusual scenario. All he wants is for things to be equal, and to not be the provider. He doesn’t want to be with a girl that is looking for the archetype of stereotypical gender-based roles.
