How was working with Simon Stone, the director, because he has a background in theatre. They need makeup to make them to look convincing. She spent a lot of time on my hands, because I haven’t got an earth person’s hands.
A wonderful makeup artist, Jenny Shircore, made me up. Ralph: I had a bit of residual dirt in my fingernails for the length of the shoot because I knew I was going to have it put on the next day. So I felt like I did quite well out of that. And so all the poor actors who were actually down in the dirt were getting completely drenched and freezing. She never really got down into the dig and involved herself.īut actually, in the shooting of it, it was so cold when we were filming in November, and everyone was pretending it was the height of summer. Those images of Edith sitting in a chair, in a sort of wicker chair on the side with an umbrella, watching what’s going on. I was sort of always on the side-lines, which I think was great. Mulligan: For me, because she’s completely the landowner, the lady of the house, I was never massively down in the dig at all. It must have been quite horrible finishing every day with layers of mud in your fingernails?
But, oh my goodness, I was so glad when it was over. And I was hyper-aware of scratching his face. It felt genuinely nerve-wracking that I would leave him under there for too long. We were running in from a distance to get to him. There needed to be a certain period of time, at the beginning of the take, where his face was just covered. I kept on saying to people around me, “Please don’t make me do this. “Steady, steady…”Ĭarey Mulligan: It was terrifying! When it was clear that we were going to be actually uncovering Ralph, I was really nervous about it. could feel these fingers scrabbling close to my face. It was sort of going to end up giving me a black eye because there was a frantic energy. The only thing I got a little bit apprehensive about was the energy of the actors’ hands as they tried to unearth me.
