'We shot it in 23 days,' says Todd Haynes of his new film, which opened this year's New York Film Festival. 'I mean, the thing was just nuts.'
has been making what he calls “image books” for all his films, exhaustive almanacs of the visual, cinematic, and thematic references governing each project, which he distributes to the cast and crew during production. Last week, on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental, he pulled the image book for his latest film,, from his black backpack with the ebullience of a freshman arriving on campus. “See?” he said. “I came prepared.
HAYNES: It took a plan and the plan, as you see in the finished film, had very much to do with a very restrained camera and a lot of single-shot scenes, and a lot of scenes using the mirror as a motif. The kind of mood I wanted to create and the kind of tonal elements I wanted to play with, it all made sense to me conceptually. The music was an early accompaniment to this whole experiment and this sort of visual style I stumbled on. I saw, Joseph Losey in ’71.
NEVINS: I’m glad you mentioned those influences, because I know you make pretty comprehensive “image books” for all your films.HAYNES: See? I came prepared. It also inspired a companion piece, because I knew I was having a retrospective at the Pompidou in May before we ever knew we would be in competition at Cannes. And they ask for an original short film from the directors who are getting a retrospective.
