The Deal
"I really descended into the dark feeling of this picture, and I wondered if any waterside deal is inherently intimidating.
Also, I wondered about the nature of the deals one does with oneself, and how it would be interesting to place such a deal in this dodgy context.
and ... let's face it... I flagrantly borrowed from the imagery of "don't pay the ferryman" - "don't even fix a price" - employing some good ol' journey to hell vibes... always a lot of laughs there ... right?"
