Set within Roman-era Egypt, The Carpenter’s Son follows a carpenter (Nicolas Cage) and his wife (FKA twigs) as they are raising their teenage son (Noah Jupe). Having lived under threat for years, the family have held closely to their faith and traditions. However, as the family stops in their travels, their son encounters a mysterious stranger (Isla Johnston). As the two become friends, the stranger begins to tempt the young man, claiming to know the truth that his father has kept from him. As the son is lured into a forbidden world, his father becomes increasingly concerned for his spiritual well-being as dark forces continue to grow around them. In this 1on1, we speak to director Lotfy Nathan about exploring 'edgy-teen' Jesus, "Biblical horror" and learning good from evil.
THE CARPENTER'S SON is in theatres now.
