The Hollywood Reporter and Lasvit, the Czech designer and manufacturer of bespoke glass products, are pleased to invite attendees of the upcoming 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival to a very special event: the recording of a career-retrospective interview with Clive Owen.
On Friday, July 5, at 1 p.m. local time, Owen — an English actor with an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe and BAFTA awards to his name, who is set to receive KVIFF’s President’s Award on July 6 — will sit down with yours truly at the Spa Hotel Imperial to record an episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.
The 59-year-old is best known for his work in films such as Robert Altman’s Gosford Park (2001), Mike Nichols’s Closer (2004), Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City (2005), Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men (2006) and Ang Lee’s Gemini Man (2019), as well as on television programs including Philip Kaufman’s Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012), Steven Soderbergh’s The Knick (2014-2015) and Ryan Murphy’s Impeachment: American Crime Story (2021-2021).
Over the past year, he gave standout turns in two limited TV series, FX’s A Murder at the End of the World (2023) and AMC’s Monsieur Spade (2024), and is currently in contention for Emmys recognition for both.
