In the film, the folk hero Robin Hood grapples with his legacy. He is played brilliantly by Hugh Jackman. The decades of running, fighting, being beaten and slashed, have taken their toll. Robin, injured badly, ends up in a priory - a small community run by a nun. He thinks about the many lives he's taken, the countless others he's ruined, the wake of violence and blood feuds and he reaches a pretty reasonable conclusion: Robin Hood was not a good guy. The film alternates between brutal violence and meditative, almost serene thoughtfulness. It should come as no surprise – Sarnoski is also responsible for the movies Pig and a Quiet Place: Day One. Sarnoski joined us in the studio to talk about the themes in his latest film and what it was like to shoot on 35 mm on location in Ireland. He also gets into what he learned working with movie stars like Nicolas Cage and Hugh Jackman.
