Juliet Lewis in a charismatic evil

The latter calls for a powerful bonuse hunter Reginald jones (Peter Dinklage) serving its salvation. Long hunting through Texas leads them to a big thick, cursed forest that everyone is afraid of.
The throat cut is not just sympathetic, it has flaws, the childhood made of violence and psychological wounds, which it exerts through its scars and its rough voice, giving it to the man in the eyes of others. And Juliet Lewis invested in his interpretation of the body and the soul.
“I created a lot of things to do with the character. The voice was the first thing that came to my mind. With that role, I could do so much.
It was important for the actor to interpret himself because he never chooses his roles by accident because he always believes in. In the sense that this can sometimes spoil the paths between fiction and reality.
“I don’t want the public to see the actor. I want people to believe that I am that person. And for most time, people think I’m a character I play. “
But the character of the cut throat was a real challenge for Juliet Lewis. “This character was probably one of the most difficult things I have ever done because I have to believe that I’m like a man“He explained.

“There was a team spirit. On the one hand, I had not played in the movie for six years, I think it was important.
The pressure I put on myself is on my own. I’m still looking for transcendence in my acting game. I want it to come from my gut. I put great pressure on this role. I could do a lot of things, not enough, and I had the right equilibrium. Extreme roles are not easy. ”
