Daniel Day-Lewis was retired. His son is just getting started
About this episode
Eight years ago, Daniel Day-Lewis announced he was retired from acting. He offered no further comment. Retirement notwithstanding, the three-time winner of the Oscar for Best Actor stars in a new movie, out this week. He plays a man who long ago left the world he once knew – and then is contacted by a family member to come back.
It was written with and directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis.
Father and son speak about their new film, Anemone.
