were love scenes I filmed that I

instinctively did what everyone

does and only later realized: That

wasn’t Rachel’s experience. It

was us looking at her. So how

could I tell the story from Lucy’s

point of view, in which it is a

story about her pleasure? It’s

about the emotion of it, not the

act of it.

A few years ago, you and I

were talking about “Fargo,”

and you said you were

intrigued by the wilderness

that resides inside everyone,

even heroes, and that the big

question was: What is an

individual capable of? Do you

see that theme continuing in

your work?

I think the history of the

world is often a war between

our animal nature and people

who really believe that might

makes right. I do think of that

as a theme. I mean, if we solve it

I’ll stop writing about it. But I

think we’re struggling with it

more today than ever before. I

really think civilization is a

choice.
