The Interview is a 1998 Australian psychological thriller film from writer-director Craig Monahan, and is the first of three films directed by Monahan: The Interview, Healing, and a 2024 adaptation[1] of David Williamson's The Removalists. Almost the entire film takes place in a police interrogation room, with some short flashback sequences, and the cast consists primarily of three key actors—Hugo Weaving, Tony Martin, and Aaron Jeffery.[2]
