Director Richard Hunter on Locarno First Feature ‘Foul Evil Deeds’: “Not Picking Up Dog Poo to Killing Your Wife and Everything in Between’
A picture of wickedness, from the careless to the horrific, Hunter’s debut looks to Haneke and early Ruben Östlund for inspiration.
It consists of interwoven stories of everyday wickedness, from the careless to the horrific: “The influences are people like Ulrich Seidel and Michael Haneke being a huge one, Roy Andersson being a big one, and peripherally looking at all of those,” Hunter told Variety. Hunter especially credits his casting director Ilenka Jelowicki and editor Matthew J Brady: “They were the tentpoles of the production.” The film is a Wayes Production and the producer is Federica Schiavello. Richard Hunter sees his next project as being related to “Foul Evil Deeds”: “I have many scripts in the drawer, but the next two that I want to do are a continuation.”
