“Since I was a kid and I saw Kurosawa’s Ran and Kurosawa’s Rashomon, the idea of outdoor spaces with very formalistic movements and framing really intrigued me and I wondered what that would be like in a really amorphous space like a beach,” revealed Shyamalan. “Just no angles, so we add all the angles from our movement. We really enjoyed that experience. It was almost like theater because I’m making it structured in a very structurous place. I have a very formalistic way of telling stories. I write everything then I storyboard everything out and I see the images really clearly. That can be very confining and restrictive. What I love is actors that messy all that up. Raw actors, theater-trained actors that can be loose within a framework.”

Special features on the home video release include:
