Joe, 49, toldVanity Fairback in November that Holland’s Cherry “travels a great distance over a 15-year period” during the events of the film.
“The movie’s broken up into six chapters that reflect those different periods, and each one has a different tone. It’s shot with different lenses, different production design,” he said. “One’s got magical realism. Another chapter is absurdism.Another is horror.”
