'I knew he was capable of that kind of intensity' / Joe Wright, Darkest Hour

We catch up with director Joe Wright (Atonement, Anna Karenina) to talk about his new Winston Churchill drama. We talked about Gary Oldman’s performance, how this is the first ‘male-centric’ film he’s made, and why the scene on the Tube was a piece of wish fulfilment.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
