David Lowery's Mother Mary: Disney to Goth

0:00On April 24th, David Lowry's got that split personality in his films. One side drops heartfelt family flicks like the Pete's Dragon remake and Peter. Pan and Wendy, the other crafts Moody's surreal vibes in a ghost story, UGH, and the Green Knight. His latest, Mother Mary from A24, dives deep into the dark side with Anne Hathaway as a pop star channeling religious icons. In a recent chat after an early screening, Lowry broke down how Renaissance art shapes the visuals. He pulls heavy from those old religious paintings, staging scenes like sacred tabloes with dancers, and extras posed just right. Think halos, gold. Leaf and reverent gestures. Raised in a religious home, Lowry grew up with books of Rembrandt and trips to Rome's masterpieces. It started clicking big time on the Green Knight set, where he grabbed props like crowns to kick off Mother Mary's script. Fans are buzzing because the fake pop songs hit real, written by Jack Antonov and Charlie XeX, tailored personally for Hathaway to own on stage.

1:03Lowry calls it his long dream pop star movie, blended with Gothic horror nods to Rebecca and old English manners, shot in Irish barns for that eerie. Feel. It's divisive on purpose and he loves the tension at sparks. Lowry distills every story to its core essence, circling archetypes like outlaws, knights or icons. He experiments wild and editing, trying silent cuts or total rewrites, but always lands close to the script after the long journey. No two Lowry's exist. It's one guy wrestling the distance between Disney hugs and golf chills. Mother Mary captures that push-pull perfectly, proving his films thrive on bold swings.
