Claire Danes cried her heart out in one take. Her face was so altered by the end of the initial shot, directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton tell the Daily Beast, that it would’ve been impossible to wipe the tears and try again.
. The married couple—yes, quite a touch of irony, a happy duo working on a show delving into divorce—have experience in the area, having worked together on other breakdowns, including that of Paul Dano inThis time, they gave Dano a break, instead focusing their emotional energy on Danes in the series based on
The episode flashes back to Rachel’s early days with Toby, her trauma-filled childhood, and her post-divorce fling. But ultimately, we end up in a loop of mental destruction. Rachel loses track of time. She buries her phone at a wellness retreat. She’s left society completely, ordering the same beef lo mein takeout over and over again.
“It was very different; different lenses, different angles. Much more perspective. We used the portrait lens. She’s sort of the center of focus and it’s a little softer around her, zero in on her more,” Faris says. “It felt like two completely different moments, in a way.” Danes cried her heart out in one take. Her face was so altered by the end of the initial shot, Faris and Dayton tell me, that it would’ve been impossible to wipe the tears and try again. The same thing happened when Danes filmed her scene at the wellness center. A wellness guide asks Rachel to scream out all of her pain. Suddenly, it’s as if the Earth has opened up inside of Rachel’s tiny body and must all escape at once.“There was just silence after that scream,” Faris says.
“Claire can cry, but it’s not a mechanical thing,” Dayton says. “It’s interesting with actors, you don’t really talk to them about where it is that they’re going, because it’s such a private thing. But she’s clearly going to some place that is deeply upsetting.”many times,” she says, almost with a pang of guilt in her voice.
