It wasn’t his aboriginal affection film, but it was the one that opened the doors for him to assignment with an all-embracing mix of filmmakers that includes Asghar Farhadi (The Past), Fatih Akin (The Cut), Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Daguerrotype), and Kevin Macdonald (The Eagle).

Ryan Fujitani for Rotten Tomatoes: The Mauritanian is not the aboriginal time you’ve portrayed a absolute being on film. Do you acquisition that it’s added absolution to comedy a appearance based on a absolute being because you accept a arrangement to follow? Or do you adore added accepting to coact and animate a fabulous appearance with your own ideas?

Tahar Rahim: I anticipate appropriate now, I’d say it’s, in a way, easier to portray addition who is a absolute activity character, because the ambit of alternative you accept is limited. They don’t go all over the place. The capital answers you charge to apperceive for questions about your character, you accept them. And you don’t accept them in 100 pages, you accept them from addition who’s been active for years, decades, so he knows actually what he’s talking about. You don’t alike accept to, “No, you know, I anticipate the appearance would acknowledgment this way.” You don’t accept any chat about who the guy is. He is who he is. It helps a lot.

But on the added hand, the botheration is that you accept a albatross to not, in a way — let’s use this word, and I don’t apperceive if it’s the appropriate one — but to not abandon that being and his appearance and his personality, his life, what he’s been through. You still accept some abandon because he’s not a acclaimed person, but not a lot. I don’t apperceive if it feels bigger to comedy addition who’s a absolute activity appearance or aloof a character. I don’t apperceive if it feels bigger because it’s a accomplished thing. It’s not aloof about a performance, it’s about your accord with your partners, with the director, the story, the script, and the accomplished thing.

Rotten Tomatoes: I apperceive you met Mohamedou Ould Salahi afore you attempt the film. Was there annihilation about him that abashed you, or annihilation abrupt about him? Article you were able to assignment into your performance?

Rahim: I knew about him because I apprehend the book, I talked with [director Kevin Macdonald], I had his recordings. So I had abundant abstracts to accomplish my research. But I bare to accommodated him for added reasons, to apperceive him and to accept the way he moves, he talks, whatever. But I was so abashed to see how funny the guy was. Everybody would say it, but I couldn’t apprehend that he would be that funny, because sometimes he was sarcastic, sometimes aloof funny. That abashed me a lot.

But you know, it was not aloof a joke. He cast to antic around. But instantly he can acquisition a acceptable antic that is affiliated to the context. It’s not aloof accounting jokes; he’s demography advantage of the bearings and axis it into article funny. You charge to be actual accomplished to be able to do that, because it’s like improvisation. It’s like allurement a actor on date to improvise. They charge to ad-lib amid their jokes, the things that are written. It’s a absolute job. This guy has it naturally.

But also, the actuality that he was abounding of life, abounding of life. Very nice. When you apperceive what he’s been through, it’s about absurd to believe. The agony is still there; he manages in some means to ascendancy it, so you don’t see it.

Rotten Tomatoes: This is a difficult role for anyone, and I would ask how you would commonly decompress or de-stress during shooting, but you’ve said that you basically didn’t, because you were abashed you would lose aggregate you had put into the character. Doesn’t that booty a bit of a assessment on you?

Rahim: Of course, of course. But I was advantageous to shoot that abroad, to shoot this cine abroad. I was alone, with aloof one of my best friends. Otherwise, if this cine was attempt in Paris and I had to see my ancestors and my wife, my kids every day, it wouldn’t accept been accessible to portray Mohamedou the way I… to accord my all.

I got actually lucky. I didn’t appetite to be disturbed. It’s such a difficult allotment that already I bent him, I didn’t appetite to let him go. I apperceive myself. I’m about 40; I apperceive if I alpha to get airy too much, I’m accepting out of my character, and again to get aback in, it’s hard.

Rotten Tomatoes: You acutely booty your assignment actual seriously, and you’ve been able to assignment with a advanced array of filmmakers from all kinds of backgrounds beyond altered genres to body a actually all-embracing resume. But you’ve additionally bidding in the accomplished that there are some Hollywood admiral you’d adulation to assignment with. If you had to name the top three on your ambition list, who would they be?

Rahim: Of course, Martin Scorsese. Paul Thomas Anderson. Who else? There’s so abounding abundant directors. I’d say [Alejandro González] Iñárritu. You apperceive what? from the new generation, actually the Safdie brothers.

Rotten Tomatoes: I could actually see you in a Safdie brothers movie.

Rahim: You know, Good Time was a admirable surprise. I was like, “Oh, man!” You can feel the New Hollywood references, but it’s not copying. It’s not about that. They’re talking about their time, the bodies they met, their life, their New York, and it’s incredible. It reminded me of New Hollywood, after artful them. I begin it so able and so cast new, in a way, in the way they shot, in the way they absolute their actors, and the aftermost blur they did, Uncut Gems, the aftermost 13 minutes… It’s like a James Brown concert. It’s like James Brown saying, “We’re activity to agitate them. Agitate them ’til the end.” I was like, “Whoa. Okay, these guys are great.”
