‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ is a very special story.

I’ll sit down for ‘Stranger Things’ or ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ – or a really good documentary.

I like science fiction. Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick and Vonnegut, and I really like Margaret Atwood, ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ And you know, so much of science fiction has to do with predicting what’s to come, so I think that’s really interesting.
5
You could tell ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ from a male point of view. People have mistakenly felt that the women are oppressed, but power tends to organise itself in a pyramid. I could pick a male narrator from somewhere in that pyramid. It would interesting.

There was a movie that was made about ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ And I never watched it on purpose because I didn’t want to… I just didn’t want to know.

None of the atrocities in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ are pure fiction. Everything Margaret wrote was something that has happened somewhere in the world to human beings.

‘Meadowland’ was the reason I got ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ and probably my experience in cinematography helped. Everything was like a stepping stone to the next thing.

What makes ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ so terrifying is that everything that happens in it is plausible.

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ breaks my heart. It’s a show based on the book written in the ’80s by Margaret Atwood – who is a spectacular talent. That book is a work of art.
16
I’d been to an Orthodox Jewish primary school where, every morning, the boys said, ‘Thank you God for not making me a woman.’ If you put that together with ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ in your head, something will eventually go fizz! Boom!

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ takes place in the near future, a dystopian future, and is based on the book by Margaret Atwood. It takes place in what was formerly part of the United States at a period of time when society has been taken over by a totalitarian theocracy. It’s about the women who live in subjugation.
