Benjamin Caron, the visionary director behind hits like The Crown and Andor, is back with his latest cinematic venture, Night Always Comes. In an exclusive interview, Caron opens up about the risks he took, the gritty realism he embraced, and the unexpected influence of royalty on his work.
Risk and Reward in Filmmaking
Caron doesn’t shy away from bold choices. Night Always Comes, a thriller set against the backdrop of urban decay, demanded an unflinching approach. "You have to trust your instincts," Caron says. "This film required a rawness that isn’t always comfortable, but it’s honest."
The Royal Connection
Having directed episodes of The Crown, Caron admits that working with royal themes left a lasting impact. "There’s a certain gravity to royalty, a weight of history," he reflects. "Even in a modern thriller like this, that sense of legacy lingers."
Realism Above All
Caron’s commitment to authenticity shines through in Night Always Comes. From the casting of lesser-known actors to the use of natural lighting, every detail was meticulously crafted to feel real. "Audiences today crave truth," he explains. "They can spot a fake a mile away."
With its gripping narrative and unvarnished style, Night Always Comes is poised to be one of the year’s most talked-about films. Caron’s fearless direction ensures it won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
