Shortly before the release of 'Oscar and Lucinda' and during pre-production of 'Onegin' (his first producer role), Ralph Fiennes discusses his career on stage at the BFI.

He considers the different approaches of directors he has worked with, including Steven Spielberg, Kathryn Bigelow and Anthony Minghella.

He also discusses the rare, sublime moments of completely letting go of one's self while acting a character.

Behind the Screen

Get inside the movies with these illuminating insights from the people who make them.
The movies can make us believe in magic, but what they really serve up is illusion: pull back the curtain and what's revealed is a vast enterprise of imagination, skill and invention. When it comes to feature films, a director may preside over a legion of hundreds of actors, artists and technicians. To outsiders - that's most of us - this complex world can seem mystifying and impenetrable. So an insider's perspective is worth its weight in gold, as these rare interviews and talks by filmmakers and performers show.
