Video · Cannes: Salma Hayek Calls Matteo Garrone a 'Method Director'

If Cannes has a translation headset missing at the end of the film festival, it might be worth asking John C. Reilly.
“These things are amazing, I have to be able to take one with me when I leave here,” the actor said Thursday at the press conference for Matteo Garrone’s fairytale epic Tale of Tales. “I want to be able to take them to a restaurant to hear the specials.”
But Reilly, who plays a king desperate for an heir, mostly praised Garrone, describing him as “courageous and instinctual,” as well someone who helped unite everyone working on the film.
“I think that’s why I enjoyed working in Italy so much,” Reilly said. “Unlike American films, there’s not this regimented departmental separation between people. Everyone is just ‘if we’re hungry, let’s all eat.’ Whatever it is, everyone is just pitching in.”
Salma Hayek, who plays the film’s queen, also lauded the director, who won the festival’s Grand Prix for his two previous features, Gomorrah and Reality.
