But then the ending rolls around, and its a whiplash-inducing double take.
Initially in the stage direction, it wasnt going to be anything, she tells Vulture.
It was just Oliver walking through the house.
It involves a dance routine: Hes going to dance through the house to Murder on the Dance Floor.
Hes shed the veneers and this is who he actually is, in his full, non-regretful body.
The end result is a weirdly perfect meeting point of the two on a Venn diagram.
It was fun to see Barry enjoying physicality and biting the hand of the challenge.
Was Oliver always meant to be naked in the scene from the start?
Yes, Bennett says.
Keoghan eventually relaxed into it, nailing it in just five or six takes.
Hewasstill a little uncertain before he whipped off his robe for the first time, however.
Right before we filmed, Barry was like, Yeah, fine, Ill be fine.
What hes doing is really great!
and his confidence went up.
Something interesting for him was going on while he was doing this film, Bennett adds.
He was about to have a baby and it felt like that fed into him in this scene.
I hadnt ever noticed because of how upbeat it was!
Its what made Fennells choice the perfect soundtrack to Olivers deranged behavior, she adds.
Ellis-Bextor tells Vulture she loved the use of her 18-year-old track in the film: Its flipping brilliant.
I loved the movie, and seeing it have such a wild makeover is so fun.
Lets see if the, erm, style of dancing to it like that catches on?
Would certainly make for some interesting viewing from the stage when I do my next tour.
However, this was later cut.
But she says this ending works better.
Im really chuffed, as it solves Olivers frame of mind.
Though a surprising ending how often do serial killers get away scot-free in Hollywood as the credits roll?
its a twisted, darkly funny, and fitting note to finish on.
Its really pleasing that a piece of choreography does something like that, Bennett says.
If you cant say something, move it.
