Marcia Gay Harden on cooking for her crew (straight from her character's garden) on Barkskins. Watch the full conversation here: | VarietyAfterShow presented by NatGeoChannel
It’s no surprise that National Geographic’s new drama “Barksins” looks like it was really shot in the 17th century wilderness — even if there were no cameras in the 1600s.shared during the “Variety After-Show.” On “Barksins,” Harden portrays Mathilde, a local innkeeper who inherits land from her late husband.
“This is this village in the middle of Quebec that looks exactly like the village from the 1690s. It’s a working village. There are working fireplaces and she built four different sets that were just completely correct and authentic to the time,” she said. “You didn’t have to imagine so much. You were in those dresses that were dragging through the mud. You were picking the stuff from the garden. It was was easy to be there and be acting these characters and understanding them.
The series is based on Annie Proulx’s novel of the same name about New France. However, Mathilde is a new character who doesn’t appear in the book. “I tell you, I became Mathilde. She’s working, she’s cooking, she’s cleaning. She’s ringing the wash out on the post. She’s building the fire. She’s pulling the vegetables from the garden. This girl’s working,” Harden said.
