Do not read if you have not yet watched “Testimony,” the eighth episode of “The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 4, streaming now on Hulu.chose the third episode of “The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 4 to mark her directorial debut, she did so because she wanted the challenge of taking characters she knew so well to new places — literally and physically. But when she chose the season’s eighth episode, “Testimony,” as the next one to helm, it was because she was looking for another challenge.
Yet, when June testifies, she doesn’t allow the anger to take over. Instead, she is mostly calm and collected as she reads a prepared speech, only allowing emotion to slip in when she begins to talk about the other women she knew in Gilead, Moss notes. By contrast, though, some other equally emotional scenes were purposely done in fragments. When Emily is on her way to visit the aunt and sees her hanging, in order to keep things in her point of view, Moss shares she just wanted to show “flashes” of what became of the other woman. “It’s impressionistic, in a way,” she says.
New health and safety protocols implemented to keep the Toronto-based set of “The Handmaid’s Tale” safe during the pandemic did not hinder Moss from capturing what she wanted. When it came to that crowd scene in “Testimony,” there was a 10-person on-camera limit, she confirms, so the end result is a combination of principal photography and VFX moving those 10 day players around to fill out the shot.
