So it wasn’t him teaching me anything, but his movies certainly have a lot, because I love them. I was fired because I think she wanted to pick her own apprentice editor. But I didn’t get the privilege of watching him and Sandy Morris, who was his editor, then cut the film. And then at night he would come and watch the dailies with some of his cast and certainly with Mia and her children. So me and the assistant editors – my bosses – just alerted him to any problems.
#The perfect assistant cast movie
Woody was going to shoot the whole movie and then edit it, not have an editor work on it while he’s shooting. So that was really interesting, to be able to watch different takes and see what he was going for. I was a production assistant on one of his movies, out there yelling: “Rolling!” and: “Cut!” I sunk the dailies on Hannah and Her Sisters. Michael Caine and Barbara Hershey in Hannah and Her Sisters. How did that focus influence the way you wanted to shape the more vigorous, physical, non-chatty battle scenes in The Last Duel? You worked with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck is it a misconception to think swashbuckling films are inherently macho? laurasnapes Your films are so intimate and conversational. Once I was writing about friendships and feelings, she just felt like a regular woman in a really, really bad time. But I sort of got the hang of the rhythms and the backward sentences and which words we couldn’t use. I was initially intimidated by the language, and the fact I don’t know that much about medieval history. You think it is one kind of male historical sword fight movie and it becomes a human story about this woman and her assault and the delusion of men – which I cover in my own films, occasionally. And, yes, that is the point of the movie. But she had a really rotten life and didn’t have much to lose until she had her baby. Yes, my movies are semi-autobiographical, and I can’t say that I’m aware of anything similar in Marguerite to me except that she’s smart and educated and probably much braver than I would be.
