Foe director Garth Davis revealed why he sees Saoirse Ronan's Hen as the beating heart of his moody sci-fi thriller.
The Big Picture Seven years after creating his Academy Award-nominated darling Lion, director Garth Davis has brought to life another book with his new sci-fi thriller Foe. Based on the 2018 novel by Iain Reid, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Davis, it tells the story of husband and wife Junior and Henrietta , aka Hen, whose peaceful life on a farm in the near future is interrupted by a stranger with a huge opportunity that will put their marriage to the test.
Davis was specifically asked why he came aboard Foe in the first place, and he specifically mentioned how he resonated with Hen's perspective "It was the heart of the story, and that’s Hen and how she wants to live her life and be herself and find her agency," he revealed. "Hen, for me, represents somebody that appreciates that life is short, and it’s precious, and she wants to not deny that part of herself.
One thing the trailer for Foe makes clear is Hen's desire for something more than what she has with Junior. Although he loves her dearly and doesn't want to leave her behind, he completely fails to understand her. Their disconnect is a big source of tension as Terrance gets to know them and prepares Junior and his AI counterpart for his trip to space.
Saoirse Ronan Brings Her Talents to the Forefront as Hen It also certainly helped that Davis had a true A-lister in Ronan aboard to play Hen. The four-time Oscar nominee earned plenty of attention with her first nominated supporting role in Atonement, but she's since proven herself a powerhouse lead between Brooklyn, Lady Bird, and Little Women among many other roles.
