353 - Evil Takes Many Forms (The A24 Podcast #1)
In this fascinating interview and Q&A session, we dive deep into the making of the critically acclaimed horror film, The Witch, with three of its key players: Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Ineson, and Robert Eggers. Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays the lead character Thomasin in the movie, takes us on a journey through her experience of embodying a character who is torn between her family and her own desires, amidst the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the 17th-century New England wilderness. Ralph Ineson, who portrays Thomasin's father, William, shares his insights on the film's exploration of the intersection of religious fanaticism and family dynamics, as well as his experiences working with goats, who play a crucial role in the movie's haunting imagery. Director Robert Eggers provides a rare glimpse into his creative process and how he crafted the film's tense and unsettling atmosphere, drawing inspiration from real historical accounts of witchcraft and meticulously researching and recreating the details of a bygone era. Together, the trio provides an intriguing and thought-provoking look into the making of a modern horror classic that has captivated audiences and critics alike. From the psychological depths of the characters to the intricacies of the film's production, this interview and Q&A has it all, and is not to be missed by fans of the genre.
