Henry Golding is just like us: When he sees a film directed by the wonderfully inventive Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo, he’s all in. And, nearly a decade after being floored by Vigalondo’s big breakout, the Anne Hathaway-starring “Colossal,” Golding finally got to join the “kooky” filmmaker in his latest venture. As he tells us in his first interview in support of the film, the experience did not at all disappoint.

Vigalondo’s latest, “Daniela Forever,” will premiere this week at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it will open the Platform lineup. The film, which stars Golding and “The White Lotus” breakout Beatrice Grannò, is a sci-fi love story that blends together beloved films like “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” “The Science of Sleep,” and even a bit of “Inception.” But, being a Vigalondo joint, the film is also very much its own thing.
