In ‘Gonzo Girl,’ co-starring Willem Dafoe as Hunter S. Thompson, the Oscar winner drew upon her own ‘celebrity distortion’ in the 90s to explore “co-dependence, addiction, unhealed wounds, art, joy, life, sexuality.”
Arquette was also drawn to the ’90s time period, hinting that she may have witnessed some “celebrity distortion” during a decade in which she broke out in movies like. She says, “There were experiences that I had in the ’90s, being on the fringe and being at some of those parties with celebrities and up-and-coming celebrities and bad boys and blah, blah, blah.”
While not named, the originator of gonzo journalism loomed over the production. Onscreen, there are Thompson hallmarks — of tinted aviators, cigarette holders — and an unbridled affinity for handguns and an obscene amount of narcotics and hallucinogens. But the goal, says Arquette, was to “not re-create Hunter and not make a caricature, but generally be inspired by him.” Arquette encouraged Dafoe to lean into his character’s moral deficiencies .
