Director Paul Verhoeven and Carice van Houten (Rachel/Ellis) introduced the film and took to the stage afterward for a spirited Q&A session. Verhoeven was quite passionate about his film and did not hesitate to discuss the experience of making it. I asked him what was the most difficult scene to shoot. He explained that anytime action involving aircraft is required, it places great demands on the entire cast and crew. The timing has to be just right. Multiple takes are required and one can only imagine the logistics involved. Similarly, Verhoeven discussed the problems inherent in shooting on water. There are a number of scenes on and around boats. But the most difficult scene, as well as the most taxing on Ms. van Houten, involved a very large bucket. That's all I can really say without spoiling it, so you'll just have to see it. But you'll know when you do. In spite of the difficulties, both seemed to have had fun making it. After all, with a story as heavy as this one, something has to break the mood.
