From KCRW in Santa Monica, this is The Treatment.

Welcome to The Treatment.

A couple of years ago, I happened to see a terrific little movie called The Square.

Its director, Nash Edgerton is here with me.

Nash, first of all, thanks so much for being here.

Thanks for having me.

Tell the audience what the movie's about.

Sort of dark film noir thriller about a guy, Ray, who's having an affair with this

girl, Collar, and she discovers her husband with this bag of money

and decides to take her to Ray

and say, we should take this and run away together.

She convinces him, and he makes some quip about,

you know, the only way you could get away with this

is if we, you know, took the money and burnt the house down.

And she's like, that's what we should do.

And that's kind of where it starts to go bad.

Actually, it kind of starts to go bad almost immediately

because he's so conflicted from the very beginning.

And I was wondering how you managed to cast David Roberts was in the lead.

How you found him?
