Little White Lies reviews LIFE

Life is the story of two men pursuing their individual artistic callings against the grain of industry norms. Both Dennis Stock and James Dean died as glittering names in photojournalism and acting. But in 1955, when this film is set, neither was established.
“It’s an awkwardness, it’s something pure,” is what Dennis (Robert Pattinson) sees in Jimmy (Dane DeHaan). He is dying to get away from the red-carpet beat. In Dean, is the potential material for promotion to his desired field of serious, cultural photography. So begins the slippery business of pinning down the evasive but disarming boy from Marion, Indiana. Languid, conga-playing farmboy Jimmy, wants a friend, not a photographer. He’ll invite Dennis out for jazz and Benzedrine, dismissing the matter of professional engagements.
Dennis is his opposite. He is curt and minimal, essaying a very controlled, clock-watching professional. Pattinson’s performance is as crisp as the white shirt and black suits his character always wears, camouflage for problems that add depth to the film as they settle into shape.
[…] As Life proceeds, Pattinson steps up, allowing more of his character’s insides to come out. The pace picks up and by the third act it’s a compelling dramatisation of an artistically and morally fascinating alliance.

Did you ever imagine Robert Pattinson as James Dean at all?
Robert’s so nice, and not what you’d expect, so yes, but at the same time, I see a lot of the characteristics of Dennis Stock in Robert. The insecurity, the wanting to prove he’s an actor, much as Dennis wanted to prove he was a photographer. I like these kind of parallel things. I can imagine him wanting to know a lot about the technical details of photography at that time. Yes, Rob got a camera, months ahead of the film, because I wanted him to become familiar with having that with him and taking a picture every now and again and searching for something.
