Men (2022)

In the aftermath of a personal tragedy, Harper (Jessie Buckley) retreats alone to the beautiful English countryside, hoping to have found a place to heal. But someone or something from the surrounding woods appears to be stalking her. What begins as simmering dread becomes a fully-formed nightmare, inhabited by her darkest memories and fears in Garland’s feverish, shape-shifting new horror film.

Written/directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation).

With Men now playing in theaters, I recently got to speak with writer-director Alex Garland about making his latest film. During the interview, Garland talked about how Men doesn’t explain everything, why he likes to not spoon feed the audience, if he felt any pressure to give more answers, how Attack on Titan influenced the film and made him raise his game, how he worked with director of photography Rob Hardy on the color scheme, and more. Additionally, he talked about unproduced screenplays, what someone should watch if you’ve never seen his work, and what he’d make if he could get the financing to do any project.
If you haven’t seen the trailers, Men is about a young woman (Jessie Buckley) who travels to the English countryside to try and heal from a personal tragedy. Unfortunately for her, someone or something from the surrounding woods might be stalking her. Men also stars Rory Kinnear, Paapa Essiedu, and Gayle Rankin.
