about various aspects of the meticulous work that went into delivering this powerful picture, which marks the first English-language feature by Mundruczo, who broke out internationally with his 2014 social parable “White Dog.” Excerpts from the conversation.
I am very grateful to Bron Studios, especially Kevin Turen and Aaron Ryder. When they read the first version of the script they said to me: ‘We want to do this movie.’ It was very brave on their part. The subject matter is very tough. But they trusted us all the way along, and they gave me 100% artistic freedom.I had to learn how to shoot something that is not in my mother tongue.

The film is also a great technical feat with several virtuoso single-take shots. Can you talk to me about that aspect?We have sort of four peaks in the movie. One is the birth; one is the family dinner scene; one is the courtroom, especially the love speech by Marta; and the apple tree at the end.
