Garth Davis explained how he made Foe, starring Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan, as two movies in one both for first-time viewers and repeat watchers.
The Big Picture Big twists can be a double-edged sword in a film. While the best ones can leave an audience reeling and rethinking everything they've seen to that point, it's possible to ruin the film for repeat viewings now that everyone knows what's going to happen. Sometimes, however, twists warrant a second watch in order to see the warning signs before the reveal happens.
Collider's Steve Weintraub spoke with Davis about the film during which he discussed the challenge of walking that tightrope to make Foe enjoyable no matter how much the audience knows. He referred to it as making "two movies in one" exploring the futuristic marriage between Junior and Hen as their lives change forever.
"It is two movies in one, and that’s not an easy thing to pull off, but that was the thing that really excited us. We had to really think about we have to be truthful because if you watch it a second time, it won’t feel real if that makes sense. So we had to really make sure that all the choices we were making were truthful, but then we had to hide the truth through our choices. So, that would be through performance and where we point the camera and point of view.
'Foe' Is Another Timely Story About AI Even without the twist, Foe has a hearty relationship drama at its center with Junior, Hen, and Terrance that will put the pair's marriage to the test. The sci-fi element, however, comes from AI. In order to ensure Hen is taken care of and that it's like Junior never left, Terrance introduces an AI of Junior to stay on their farm with her until the real Junior comes home.
