A bloody creature feature?
Netflix
A breakneck-paced crime-thriller inspired by the gritty carnage of hardcore Korean cinema?
Read on for the full (spoiler-free) conversation.
And that was the same experience I had while reading the script.
Anything heavy is handled in a confusing way, because nothing in life happens that tidily.
Its convoluted, confusing, and doesnt make sense until you have some perspective.
Thats what I find thrilling about this film: It does the same thing.
But theyre still enjoying what they did come for.
WILLIAMS:Thank you for saying that aboutGet Out, by the way.
It was a similar process of figuring out on a first and second watch performance level.
That was a constant conversation with Richard: What do we want the audience to be thinking right now?
Do we want them to be distrustful?
BROWNING:Getting to know you isrough!
Richard told me he wrote the film with you in mind, Allison.
Ive known Richard for years, so that was really funny.
I was like, like let me into your club!
It was advantageous that I came into an environment where there was already a camaraderie.
The tone and energy when Allison and Richard are together is very focused, driven, and comedic.
Theyre both very genuine.
We got to go to sleep!
But it wasnt serious enough that I didnt want to go back the next day.
Its a really hard instrument to play.
BROWNING: Then, we started doing joint lessons!
WILLIAMS: As we got better and started being able to do our duets, that was funny.
I was better at the bowing, but your fingering was perfect.
BROWNING: It became competitive!
BROWNING:Arent we all equipped with being a violent human?
WILLIAMS:Were all capable of violence; we arent all cellists!
The music was also the soundtrack to a sex scene.
Apparently, the instrumental sound is the closest to the human voice.
Its an intimate experience, playing a cello duet with someone.
You have to be in sync.
Even the way your bodies areopen yet wrapped around something.
Ive done more sex scenes with [director] Richard [Shepard] than I can count.
[They previously paired on HBOs Girls.]
I knew hed handle it well.
It was fun, easy, and funny to film.
And nice to be like, [Logan and I] are both wearing the same nudity covering!
I could watch that as a short on its own.
The craziest s happens.
Everyones pretending theyre fine, and no ones fine.
BROWNING:The room had a pane of glass windows, and we were like, Are these tinted?
WILLIAMS:We were undressed, sitting in the window.
Because, if so, we should perform for them as well, in the round!
The Perfectionpremieres Friday, May 24 on Netflix.
