Garfield came to New York to chat with me about his new film, We Live in Time (in theaters October 11), directed by John Crowley. Maybe it’s a testament to his pride in the movie that he’s happy to participate in this piece, despite his feeling that you can measure the sickness of a culture by how many column inches it devotes to celebrity profiles. That is to say, he’s aware that his own success story is fed by a societal obsession that deeply concerns him, but what can he do? He can’t control everything.
