Its his vision, Gosling says about the project, which started filming in Austin, Texas in 2012.

Its a completely different way of looking at all of it.

Hes one of the funniest people Ive worked with, Gosling says of his director.

You dont get a sense of that really from his films, but hes much funnier than I expected.

The way he sort of sees the world is really funny.

For an actor, that meant breaking from traditional as well.

According to Gosling, the response is par for the course.

I think theyre polarizing because his work is so unique.

Theres nothing like it, he says.

it’s possible for you to never confuse a moment of his films for someone elses films.

Someone who is that unwavering and uncompromising in their artistic pursuits is bound to polarize people.
