“We'll not, we're, we I'll do Godland. This movie was one of my very, very top favorites of 2023 and maybe ever. The DP is our amazing DP, Maria von Hausswolff, and so much of watching this movie for me was like seeing Maria, the way Maria sees nature and the world through the way she shot this movie, and it makes me so, so happy. I think in particular of like a shot, sort of like descending shot of a waterfall at one point, one of those like incredibly humongous Icelandic waterfalls. And there's this moment where the camera sort of almost like pauses and wavers in the middle because the camera kind of stops and then keeps going. It almost feels like an accident or something, and I've seen you get those types of like happy accidents in performance a lot. Like I see that a lot when I'm cutting performances where an actor will kind of mess something up or say the wrong line, but it's it's really good and almost better than what it was supposed to be, so you just kind of roll with it. But I've never seen that with like a camera before. And but that sequence, I think that's what's so kind of magical about it is in any other film you would bump on that, and instead of bumping it kind of just like elevates the sequence even more. Nature, it feels imperfection of it is, yeah, and the unexpected. I don't know, I feel like so that was a really difficult shoot. Apparently they actually like made the journey themselves across Iceland that the characters make in the movie. They shot with all natural light except for like two scenes that were just candlelight. I mean it's it's like literally about nature overtaking man and then I feel like actually you feel that it's happening with the filmmaking too.”
