00:00Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:30I heard about Beautiful Boy three years ago and was heartbroken by it and moved by it.
00:35And David Sheff and Nick Sheff's story is so powerful because it's relevant and important right now.
00:40At a time when addiction was just sweeping through our country and destroying so many families and affecting so many communities,
00:47more people are dying from overdose than anything else under 50 years old.
00:51And we're losing about 150 people every day.
00:53What is your success rate?
00:54The success percentage is in the single digits.
00:56It's about a family, it's about a relationship between a father and son,
01:00and how addiction affects relationships, how really no one is safe from it.
01:07You're doing every drug on the planet and lying?
01:10I'm really sorry there.
01:11This film spans decades and Felix van Groningen across his work like The Broken Circle Breakdown and now his first English language movie, Beautiful Boy.
01:22He does have a feel for truths about the emotional experience of being a human being.
01:28First, action!
01:31I'm fascinated by people who lose themselves.
01:34So I read the books and I totally fell in love.
01:37There were just so many cinematic things that caught my attention that it was worth spending three or four years of my life on.
01:44Cut!
01:45Felix's superpower to me is he just understands human intimacy and human relationships and familial relationships.
01:53He just has an eye on these sorts of things.
01:55How can you help?
01:56He really wanted to honor the story, but also make sure that it really felt really universal and that everyone would be able to relate to it.
02:04Parker!
02:05Nature was a big part of Nick and David's life growing up.
02:09They live in Marin.
02:10It's intensely beautiful.
02:11They spend a lot of time outside.
02:13And we wanted to show this is a boy who came from a beautiful place.
02:19This project was particularly wonderful because we did have a lot of access to the photos and to the real family.
02:25And we had this really beautiful visual history of everything that they went through.
02:30My son is out there somewhere and I don't know how to help him!
02:34We went up north in Marin County where we shot the beaches and the roads.
02:39We shot San Francisco, Conquay Bridge, Heath Street, Tenderloin.
02:44It's hard to see it, but it was right to do it there to get the reality of it.
02:49I don't feel like I have a disease.
02:51I've built myself here.
02:52You can't ever say what it treated is to be in front of the camera of that sort of team and how amazing is that?
02:58I need to find a way to fill this black hole in me.
03:01I think it's easy to look at a movie like this and think this involves some pretty dark things.
03:06But I see the movie as full of joy and hope and like a real expression of humanity towards one another.
03:15I'm still in the family.
03:17I want them to be proud of me.
03:31Thank you.
03:37Thank you.
03:38Hey.
03:38I got one.
03:40I got two.
03:41We'll be surprised.
03:41Thank you.
03:44There I was.
