“Yet I always come back to films that are just very still and very selective in their imagery and the quality of really being immersed into a movie that way, with pictures and the things that are unspoken. The amount of improvisation and drifting in character and dialogue made me search out something that was very specific and very scripted for a long time. I wanted something that was very detailed and very solid characters in the approach right from the beginning so they can work on the cinematic landscape as well.”
