Game of Thrones director Mark Mylod, who directed the show's most recent episodes "The Broken Man" and "No One," is the man to ask some of the biggest questions surrounding the series.
The morning after his last episode of Season 6 aired, I got on the phone with British director to talk about the ambiguities in certain storylines, whether he was aware of certain fan theories during production and what his challenges were in these two episodes. Read on for our full interview.
IGN: Of the two episodes you directed this season, which was the most challenging sequence for you to put together?
I think two of my favorite scenes previously way back in Season 1 was a scene between King Robert and Cersei where they talk about the failure of their marriage, and I found it heartbreakingly compelling. Likewise, back in Season 3 was it, there was a bathhouse scene with Brienne and Nikolaj's character Jaime where he talks about why he killed the Mad King, and it broke my heart. It was so extraordinary to see vulnerability in this character. I'd always happily assumed he was such a jerk. Likewise in episode 8, there is to me an extraordinary scene between Brienne and Jaime in his tent, where the subtext is so beautifully eloquent, and yet they say so little of what they actually mean. It's just wonderful. I just love that about the writing, and I love that the actors can do that so beautifully and instinctively.
In terms of physical production, I suppose the foot chase between the Waif and Arya that is the climax of episode eight was the most challenging to put together -- again, partly because the writers had put down the most dazzling foot chase ever committed to film. So there was a kind of high bar there. You read that in the script and think, "Thanks very much, now I've got to match that!" No pressure!
IGN: [laughs] Did you draw any specific inspiration for that chase scene? It's sort of like Arya's Bourne moment.
Mylod: Yeah, it's interesting, I did of course, by YouTube and every other outlet, look for just about every foot chase in history, and quite extraordinarily there was very little that was actually helpful to me in this instance. The particular topography of Girona, [Spain], Oldtown, in terms of the equipment that one can actually get up there and the particular kind of camera grammar that I needed for our particular show was such that there was actually very little to copy from -- and God knows I'll steal anything if it'll make me look good.
But in this instance, it was really just a question of walking around the streets and actually putting it together like a jigsaw puzzle. You know, "This set of steps is amazing, this narrow street is amazing -- how can we put those building blocks together to make cohesive storytelling?" There were basic ideas that I started putting into place, of starting from this high point in the city and moving down into these darker, shadier areas of the city, getting hopefully more claustrophobic as we went and getting into the darker underside of the city. You know, there was kind of that fulcrum point of the jump and the roll down the steps with the orange market. Those particular streets just jumped out as great filmic places to be. Then it was just a question of actually putting a structure on that.
IGN: The past two episodes have had a certain ambiguity with Arya's storyline, both with her being stabbed by the Waif and her leading her to the final fight. Did you make that intentionally ambiguous? What were you trying to convey with those sequences?
