Discussing the screenplay Clio explained “I tried to pare the dialogue back as far as I could while writing it, I wanted it to be the last thing, to mainly use action and expression and sound and then for dialogue to just be the icing on the cake. And we kept paring it back working with Ruth and Mark, and then we could pare it back even further in the edit because Ruth and Mark’s performances are so strong, you get so much from them.”“Bringing in the father was one of the most difficult things creatively.” Clio said, “It felt risky, and perhaps foolish! In a novel you can jump around in time, but I wanted to physically show the intrusive memories, how they trespass and how it affects how we behave in the real world. It was very difficult in the edit to know how much was enough to show and how much was too much.”

It was really important to me to do it delicately, carefully and sensitively. One of the important things for me was that you knew straightaway that it was a story about sexual abuse in the family, so it wasn’t a narrative reveal at any point.I wanted it to come across in a subtle way, which was really difficult, to get that balance right. In the very first scene, she has an intrusive memory that her father is in the room with her – getting that right was really important. Different people are going to take different things from that scene, but I think you understand what’s happened and what she’s dealing with.
Watch #DarkRiver - a "stirring battle-for-the-land drama" @variety starring #RuthWilson and featuring #SeanBean in cinemas this Friday February 23!
