Raw and When Animals Dream.
I read it was $150'000 or so for the three stars. No idea about the producers/directors. From the new Second Sight documentary, nobody expected the film to make much, and it was mostly a DIY job. They just wanted enough to help with their next project, so I guess nobody was thinking too much about %'s when the Artisan deal was signed.
That was after shooting had finished.
Yes to manipulation. The doll at the barn seemed to have an effect on everyone who was near it.
As for Carter's blame, that felt a bit overboard. Okay, they'd lost a major player, but Longlegs had mentioned the mother as the one to speak to next.
It depends how much of the world had escaped heavy losses/damage. If any developed countries were still able to manufacture and had infrastructure/transportation. But then what about coal or oil?
Also, how much knowledge the survivors had. Any experts to help rebuild/redevelop, and educate others.
Same question here. Let's say they go up to the roof first, to cut the alarms. Then back down to do the job. Guessing the safe would be on a low level, or maybe a basement. The welder must've been in sections and screwed/fitted together. But they still needed to get it all to the building and load/unload.
Real thieves and cops were advisors on set, so there was at least some realism to the scenes.
It shifts all the time, along with the season, as the director intended. Old TVs with black and white films, but reading books on a seashell Kindle.
I guess they wanted to get Pearl's story in too, so that made things a bit longer.
I think that was the point. Purposely going overboard with the performance, which was the whole reason she was there in the first place. Then back to the bus to the airport, and some degree of normality.
He either felt too ashamed to go back home, thought there was nothing back home to return to or wanted to carry on his new lifestyle. He'd been through a lot, and it had changed him.
Talk show guests, or behind the scenes crew, so not meant to look professional on screen?
A lot of small companies putting the money up. Must be a fair bit of work getting them all onboard.
No idea who else was about, or how far they would get. Better to keep themselves in the room.
She knew too much, so Percival had to silence her.
The whole art of filmmaking is essentially a deception. There's a featurette on the Blu Ray about the creation of the scene. Charlize trained for the fights, and don't forget Lorraine was meant to be an experienced agent. Speed and technique can go a long way, if you know the right places to get someone. Half the thugs were just goons with guns.
They were all KGB, Stasi or European agents, who were aware of the 'kill or be killed' situations. It was necessary to show the realism of this.
The scene in Gascgoine's flat maybe overdid it, as they were (maybe?) ordinary police officers. But still there on Percival's tip-off.
He doesn't know what he wants, and gets more disillusioned as time passes. He sees his friend Kevin take a kicking, and then Steph blanks him too. Everything he wanted or believed in turns out to be fake.

Googled it and found this.
Ratings can get lowered when newer laws allow stronger violence and sex in films, but this still has so many uses of the C-word and authentic violence.
There was an edited cut shown on UK satellite a decade or so ago - TCM I think, with adverts. The scene where they get the fake blues and trash the Jag wasn't there. A few others too.
How do we think this will go? Set straight after, or ten years gone? Jay looking back into the origins?
