The scene we cut
The negotiation
"When I say that a particular number is my lowest price, that's my lowest price." Lou Bloom negotiates.
Gyllenhaal based Lou on a coyote, an animal that is starving and awake all night, and lived on kale salad and chewing gum for the shoot. Rene Russo is the director's wife, and the film was shot almost entirely at night across Los Angeles on a tight schedule.
