SOUNDBITE (English) Rami Malek, actor: "I don't know, sometimes I think it's like, 'Oh, Rami Malek singing and playing an instrument again. Is that what we're getting?' Or, 'Brace yourself, this man does not have a moustache.' But he is quite a unique human being. And he's surrounded by this very eclectic ensemble full of incredible talent. I mean, Tom Sturridge, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Luther Ford, and the gorgeous Rebecca Hall, among so many others. It's an extraordinary cast and the production design, the costumes from the 1980s, they're just so vibrant in New York at that time, so cool. So I think all the sensibilities of that in an Ira Sachs film makes it just a really unique experience of people. I understand why people are looking forward to it. It's packed with energy and a creative, fun, loving spirit, it's bursting with life."
