Andrew Garfield's Quiet Quest for Faith in The Uprising
TL;DR Summary
Andrew Garfield describes a 'spiritual urgency' in selecting roles and leans into characters with deep faith, most recently as Ploughman in Paul Greengrass's The Uprising. The film explores competing forms of Catholicism amid 14th-century hardship, and Garfield treats the part as a vessel for inner change rather than a traditional hero arc, guided by his Ignatian practice and pantheist leanings. The Uprising opens Sept. 11.
