Up to a point, you know, I think there were scenes for me where I think it worked and scenes where, which I don't want to tell you about, where I don't think it worked, where we kind of didn't have enough time or didn't have enough resources to effect the environment. The settings in this film are imaginative and beautiful. What I wanted was a space whereby we could see what sort of life they lived and to give a sense of what they've been through as a pair. So I wanted to fill whatever the space was, with free things. Everything they get, they get for nothing.
Actors are basically stupid, no. . .
In rehearsal, playing with the actors as much as possible. Kate is very funny. How much rehearsal time do you like to have with your actors. As much as we can get, with this it was three weeks. I find it really invigorating because you can find someone to bounce ideas off of.
