In an interview with Deadline, Jude Law spoke about working with director Justin Kurzel. He said,
“Justin’s process was just delightful for me as an actor because sometimes directors just want you to go and do your work and turn up, and he was very much holding your hand and making suggestions, and the manifestos were just ideas or thoughts that he would put in your head, whether it was as simple as having breakfast as your character: what does he have for breakfast? How does he cook it? What does he want? How does he wash and what does he wear?”
