Keanu Reeves: ‘I have a taste for the melancholic’

2 Nov 2024 | Chris Harvey | Telegraph

One thing the books share is a pervasive melancholy that Unute carries within him. It chimes with the idea that Reeves’s movie career since The Matrix is united by this same melancholy. Is it within him, too? “I have a taste for the melancholic, I’m not very histrionic, but I do enjoy a good melancholia,” he says. “When I think of some of the poets, Rilke or E E Cummings, I feel like there’s a melancholy [that’s] not disappointment, but it’s a yearning.”...

How does that character love, and how do they live ... ?

“I didn’t want to do a vampire story – you know, kind of fatigued and immortal,” he says, before adopting a languid upper-class British accent. “‘I’m so tired.

The comics and novel have allowed Reeves to reflect on philosophical and social themes that he doesn't fully comprehend. "Maybe I don't understand the violence of the world," he told the Times. "I don't understand that we all know we're going to die, and we kill each other over things that are, perhaps as you look back at them, not so important. Maybe I wonder about the world, you know, how did we get here, who are we."
