I’m very grateful to Arrowbecause the distribution of the film in the English speaking world was completely botched up [when the movie was released]. Goldcrest did the distribution deal here with Palace Pictures and America was Miramax, and what we didn’t know was both of them were in financial trouble at the time. This is 30 years ago of course. P...
I was in the Museum Of Modern Art in New York and I’d been there most of the day. I was exhausted and was walking away when a family came in and there was a child on top of her father’s shoulders and she said “look daddy, black rainbow”. And I turned around and there was a huge graphic by Jim Dine (who’s a major American painter) that said ‘the bir...
Yes. I mean I loved directing Croupier and I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead[which I didn’t write but] I’ve been lucky in terms of enjoying most of the films I’ve made. I had a rough period during the Eighties when films were being re-edited without my permission, things like that. But that’s part of the course of the film industry, it’s a tough business.
It sort of accumulated over many years. My first concern was I wanted to find a vehicle for discussing what I thought the future of our society was. It’s quite as simple as that in many ways. It’s ironic that it’s been reissued in the middle of a pandemic. It seems almost suitable. I don’t wish to mean this harshly but in a sense, what Martha was s...
I shot pretty well all of it in Charlotte which is in South Carolina and Charlotte was a city on the cusp. At the centre you had this jewel of a modern city and then it was surrounded by poverty and decay. Weirdly enough it’s very similar to Get Carter in many ways. I caught Newcastle [where the movie is set] again on the cusp. As a film director, ...
I tell you one of the revelations for me was the audience. All those people came from the Carolinas and I thought they were just amazing. They were so attentive and they were so moved by what was happening, they play a major role in this film. I’d forgotten how wonderful they all were.
Oh yes, there were audiences there. I did some work with Rosanna [Arquette who plays the lead character Martha] on the stage when it’s just her on her own, but the whole of the thing was always played to an audience when I was filming. It was really interesting because they were incredibly moved by Rosanna. You often see people crying during it fro...
No. Doris Stokes was the major one. There was a documentary film on her and I was able to watch it all the time so I could learn quite a lot from watching her technique. I didn’t show it to Rosanna ever. So she came to it in her own way.
I must confess it was a last-minute thought for me that end scene, it wasn’t in the script initially. [Martha has her own] time bubble – the first time you see her she asks what the time is and her watch is wrong, and she does it again with her father when she thinks she should be in the hall. Once I had built in that idea of time-shifting, it sort...
