The Bikeriders, out June 19, tells the story of a motorcycle club in the 1960s. The film, inspired by the 1968 photobook of the same name by photographer Danny Lyon, is directed by Jeff Nichols.
The cast is full of great stars. We find indeed Austin Butler, Tom HardyMichael Shannon, Mike Fais, Norman Reedus and Jody Comer. The latter, in an interview, explains what she thinks the public will find elements to relate to when watching the film:
I think it’s something we can all relate to, whether it’s a change within ourselves or in another person. But I also think that, with Kathy, the thing that made her fall in love with Benny then became the thing that she wanted to distance him from, in the sense of selfishly wanting him to be safe and more at home. Because she has changed. It’s like there are so many aspects within the film that I think are so universal.
Comer plays Kathy, Benny’s (Butler) wife. In the film the motorcycle club ends up in a destructive and self-destructive spiral of violence and drugs, which frightens Kathy’s character. And, as Comer says, what she once loved her husband for now becomes something she wants to distance him from.
