Prayer Offerings with Production Designer and Co-Writer Fernando Fonseca (2017)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Excellent and highly entertaining interview with Fernando Fonseca, the man who co-wrote 1988's THE UNHOLY. He starts off talking about how he met the film's producer and then he talks about getting the actual job. From here he goes into great detail about what he wanted to do with the film and how he perhaps bit off more than he could chew. There are some really great stories here about the production of the film and the various troubles that it ran into and how this effected the screenplay. Fonseca is honest on his feelings about the alternate ending that the studio forced on the picture and he speaks freely about the negative reviews that followed. This is certainly a highly entertaining and fun interview and the stories are terrific. What I enjoyed most is how frank and honest Fonseca was.
