Andrew Garfield, Florence Pugh to Close San Sebastian Film Festival With John Crowley’s ‘We Live in Time’

John Crowley’s romantic drama “We Live in Time” is set to close the 72nd San Sebastian Film Festival’s official selection, screening out of competition.

The film, which stars Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh, will have its world premiere at Toronto and its European premiere at San Sebastian. Pugh and Garfield star as two people whose lives are forever changed when an accident brings them together.

Written by Nick Payne (“The Last Letter From Your Lover”), “We Live in Time” chronicles the relationship between Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) through a series of vignettes,  as they learn to cherish each moment of the route their love story has taken.  

Crowley, known for his work across film, theater, and television, made his feature debut with “Intermission” (2003), which was part of the San Sebastian’s New Directors section. The Irish filmmaker’s credits include “Boy A” (2007), “Brooklyn” (2015), and episodes of “True Detective” and “Modern Love.”

Garfield, who previously collaborated with Crowley on “Boy A,” has garnered critical acclaim for roles in “The Social Network” and “Hacksaw Ridge.” He has earned two Academy Award nominations for best actor, for “tick, tick… BOOM!” and “Hacksaw Ridge.” He also portrayed Spider-Man in “The Amazing Spider-Man” franchise.

Pugh, an Oscar nominee for “Little Women,” has appeared in films such as “Lady Macbeth” and “Midsommar,” with her performance in the former earning her the FIPRESCI Prize at San Sebastian. Her recent works include “Don’t Worry Darling,” “Oppenheimer” and “Dune: Part Two.”

“We Live in Time” is scheduled for release in Spanish cinemas on Jan. 3, 2025, distributed by Beta Fiction Spain.
