Like everyone who uses drugs or alcohol, Martin believes, Charlie is searching, and his quest is for real meaning in his life. How often do people [under the influence of drugs] say 'I saw God'? It's an effort at transcendence.
After Apocalypse Now and his heart attack, there was no further down to go: so Martin went up, right to the top. He found God, the God of his Catholic childhood: and he's never lost him again at one point he mentions that he has just been to Mass at St Patrick's church in Soho Square on this visit to London. Catholicism is writ large in the new movie too.
Filmed largely in northern Spain, it tells the story of a fortysomething man played by Emilio, in a cameo role who dies while walking the Camino — The Way of St James, the ancient pilgrimage route across Europe to the saint's grave at Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.
His father played by Martin travels to Europe to collect the body and ends up completing the walk on his son's behalf. For both men, filming The Way was an experience steeped in family memories. When he moved to New York in his early 20s, hoping to make it as an actor, he realised his name wasn't exactly helpful. I thought, 'I've got enough problems, I can't be bogged down with this name.

But the Spanish roots go deep, and part of the reason this film was made was to celebrate that. In fact, says Emilio, the irony is that, though in the movie it's Martin who's lost his son to the Camino , in real life it's he, Emilio, who has had that experience, though not in a tragic sense.
His own son, Taylor, 26 "I'd just learned to tie my shoes when he was born" , went to Spain with Grandpa Martin to follow the way of St James eight years ago, met his now wife in one of the refugios where they stayed on the journey, and has been there ever since. Talking to Martin and Emilio, it's clear that their Spanish family are a real part of their lives.
