The Big Picture As an actor, Dev Patel has delivered no shortage of critically acclaimed performances between Slumdog Millionaire, Lion, and The Green Knight among other films. Monkey Man, however, finally gives him a chance to call the shots behind the camera in a feature film while also taking on the lead role as a young man hungry for vengeance against the corporate overlords who have ruined his life.
His fourth choice for his guest selects is Céline Sciamma's romance Portrait of a Lady on Fire, a film he looked to primarily because of its stunning visuals and the central relationship between the painter Marianne and her subject, Héloïse that left the director invested. On the flip side, Patel describes the impact Robert Clouse's Enter the Dragon had on him from a young age because of Bruce Lee.
Sharlto Copley, Sobhita Dhulipala, Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Ashwini Kalsekar, Adithi Kalkunte, Sikandar Kher, and Makarand Deshpande round out the cast of the thriller, which has been earning plenty of praise since its debut at SXSW in March. Collider's Perri Nemiroff gave it a 6/10 in her review and said that, despite its flaws, the film makes Patel a director to keep an eye on going forward.
