[From the Introduction] The story of a man’s struggle with his internal demons: betrayal, jealousy and loss. With the director Peter Hegedus’ background in documentary filmmaking, a level of realism was certainly achieved by the characters. The film was shot in one take – no easy feat. Stylistically, the tight frame shooting lent itself to a revealing of the man’s internal workings. I felt visually, I was a little too close to him at times and my mind wandered off waiting for a wide shot to see where we were. In retrospect, of course they were in a prison.
A little too close
