New Crime Film with Helen Mirren Is Set in Ticino but Was Hardly Shot in Switzerland
Published
The new film «A Talent for Murder» is the focus of an interview with director Anton Corbijn. Actress Helen Mirren plays the lead role. The film is a crime thriller and will be shown in cinemas and on streaming platforms.
Large parts of the plot are set in Ticino. Nevertheless, the film was only partly shot in Switzerland. Ticino serves as a backdrop for the story, but filming took place for the most part in other locations. This surprises many viewers, because the film is a Swiss co-production.
In the interview, Anton Corbijn explains why the film does not bear the title «Switzerland». The title «A Talent for Murder» fits the story and the characters better, the director says. He stresses that the landscape and atmosphere of Ticino are important to the plot, even though not all scenes were filmed there.
For viewers in Switzerland, the film is of particular interest because of the landscape and the co-production. It shows how international film projects use locations in Switzerland without being filmed there entirely. The film thus also demonstrates how diverse film production in Europe is today.
