In the midst of the chaos and trauma of A24’s marine drama ‘The Inspection,’ Raúl Castillo’s steadying, generous presence gives the emotional film a tender heartbeat.
The Inspection
Your character Rosales is so interesting because the audience gets about 70 percent of who he is: kind to French, dedicated to the Marines, at odds with his wife. But there’s about 30 percent that’s missing, particularly when it comes to his affinity for French. We don’tI leave it for the audience to interpret that. [laughs] I think that’s the goal with this character.
We had a really fun time. Jeremy comes from theater, as do I, and I think we have very similar approaches to the craft. Jeremy was fantastic. He made my job very easy. I just had to be present with him. We had these fun scenes—there’s the reality and then there’s the fantasy scenes—and through them all we had a really great time.
