Taurus | Press Conference Highlights | Berlinale 2022
Press conference highlights for “Taurus” with: Tim Sutton (director), Colson Baker aka Machine Gun Kelly and Maddie Hasson. Sunday, February 13, 2022 at the Berlinale Press Centre.
Part of the Berlinale’s 2022 Panorama.
About the film: Rapper Cole meanders through a toxic mix of numbness, narcissism and alienation. Having succeeded in destroying almost every relationship he has ever had, the newly divorced musician is now letting his young daughter down, just as he has everyone else around him. Just back from an exhausting tour, he is searching for inspiration for his next song. His personal assistant Ilana tries to keep him, and everything around him, together. But somewhere in between the studio recordings, the – sometimes productive, at other times disturbing – encounters with musical collaborators, the meetings and the interviews, the paparazzi, the drug dealers and the prostitutes, this musician has completely lost the plot.
There is not a shred of metamorphosis, realisation or forgiveness in Tim Sutton’s portrait of a broken man. It charts a steady descent. The director eschews psychological interpretation and rock star stereotypes to give us addiction, fame and the mechanisms of the music industry. This radical, stirring film is as painfully authentic as the tattoos that cover the body of rapper and lead Colson Baker, also known as Machine Gun Kelly.
