The moment she’s talking about is one of the film’s most indelible scenes, and one of the triumphs is how it becomes simultaneously disturbing and a little erotic, something enabled by that trust between the actors. He’s telling her what to do and she’s just mesmerized so she listens, but then she makes the choice when he says come to me and she does it,” she explained. I’ve done nudity before, nudity isn’t something that really phases me, but in that scene… it’s almost like puppeteering. And he was very respectful and gentle with me. Matthew is one of the kindest guys I’ve ever worked with and he’s so generous. “We talked about how far we wanted to go with it and where it was going to go. Temple, no stranger to screen nudity after Gregg Araki‘s “ Kaboom,” has some pretty brave moments in “Killer Joe,” scenes made much easier with the support of her co-star, Matthew McConaughey. That mutual trust is particularly important when it comes to scenes of nudity, and sexuality, of which the actress has plenty in “Killer Joe.” Just this incredible trust, because I felt fearless, you know? He just has the ability, and he just draws things out of actors, it’s like he’s inside of you.”Ģ. And that’s something that I really really needed for that role and really got.
He does one or two takes of everything, and when you have a director that believes in you that strongly, all you want to do is get it right the minute they say action. “He trusts you so much and in turn you trust him with your whole heart. “The main thing, he says it before every take, ‘Keep it fresh, keep it fresh,'” Temple says. According to Temple, he’s a man with enormous faith in his actors, with no Fincher-style hundred take runs to be seen.
William Friedkin places enough trust in his actors that he rarely shoots more than two takes of anything.Īfter more than forty years in the film industry, and directing classics like “ The French Connection” and “ The Exorcist,” you would expect William Friedkin to have picked up a thing or two along the way, and you’d be right.
