first started to develop the "Goldfinch" project, director John Crowley's critically acclaimed feature film "Love Is Afar" was released not long, the producer Brad Simpson said ""Love in a Faraway Country" is a beautiful and great adaptation of a novel. John understands every little detail in the original work, and he is good at interpreting the position of characters and emotions. This is very important for the goldfinch. Significantly, we know that he is the right person to bring a novel of more than 700 pages to the big screen beautifully."

In the process of watching movies, you will also feel that the memory will be attached to specific objects and art. The memory point is no longer an object, but a sensation that leads to it. It will be fascinating.” John Crowley, director of
, said in surprise, “Please! It’s Nicole Kidman! She is a master performer. There is nothing to say, right? And Nicole is very kind, she is a very warm presence on the set, she brings rich layers to this role, no matter which scene, she is always willing to pay more to develop each scene I can’t imagine that other actors can interpret this role so perfectly.” The protagonist Anzo Aigert also agrees: “When I play against Nicole, I keep pinching myself. Is this true? Watching her perform is convincing. She is extremely creative, emotional, and acting very natural and realistic."
