Stellan Skarsgård and Gustaf Skarsgård introduced their latest film “What Remains” at Locarno Film Festival on Friday.
Directed by Ran Huang, it was written by Huang and Megan Everett Skarsgård. Andrea Riseborough also stars.
“It took a lot of pain,” admitted Gustaf Skarsgård to the audience after the screening.
“But it helped having Ron there, and dad, and Andrea, so I could really immerse myself in this fucked up journey.”
Despite the team making it all the way to Switzerland, journalists attending an intimate press conference were asked not to inquire about the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, with Gustaf Skarsgård also dodging a question referencing his recent role in “Oppenheimer.”
However, the “Vikings” actor did discuss “the most challenging” role he has ever done.
“By a mile! It was a painful treat,” he said.
