Ben Foster And David Lowery Video Interview On ‘Ain’t Them Bodies Saints,’ Rooney Mara

The poetic western film Ain’t Them Bodies Saints explores the lives of an outlaw couple that has been torn apart. Directed by David Lowery and co-starring Ben Foster, the film is an ode to great western love stories of the past. “I really just wanted to play around in a genre and in a story telling tradition that I was a big fan of. So it was really a chance to delve into material that I already knew I liked,” Lowery told Uinterview exclusively.

Foster’s character is a man of little backstory, which gave him the opportunity to explore his character in a more personal way. “His wedding ring was the key for me,” Foster said. “It’s always a different door, getting your head around the character, and David and I were talking about him. What’s so beautiful about this script and this film is that a lot is left unsaid and the film is really celebrating the space between.”
