A film that is bleached tends to have a more realistic quality.
I am always more interested in performance and character depiction, and my direction says as much.
Kevin, as the whole cast is, just wonderful people and great people, and people who are attracted to this kind of material and accepting the idea of going to Newfoundland and knowing the kind of lack of amenities.
My films do have characters who have trouble escaping the world around them.
I feel the need to work with my wife, Lena Olin, again.
To see my wife getting inspired from my notes and thoughts, going in the direction I wanted, and have her surprise me with wonderful choices was a real treat.
