TL;DR

At Cannes, Rami Malek discusses taking on Jimmy George in Ira Sachs’s The Man I Love and confronting a fear that mirrors Freddie Mercury’s AIDS-era intensity. He explains that while the icon’s shadow is intimidating, the role is about pursuing creativity, love, and joy in 1980s New York, not replication. The film has earned Oscar buzz and a 10‑minute world premiere ovation, with US rights still to be determined as Mubi handles offshore distribution.
