I just feel that we as storytellers have a responsibility to have a reason to enter the darkness.

It must be something we can learn from.

Hello and welcome back to the director's cut, brought to you by the Directors Guild of America.

In today's episode, a nurse suspects her colleague is responsible for a series of mysterious patient deaths in director Tobias Lindholm's thriller, The Good Nurse.

Based on true events, the film tells the story of a nurse who risks her own life to uncover the truth.

In addition to The Good Nurse, Lindholm's other directorial credits include the feature films A Hijacking and A War,

the documentary Venice 70, Future Reloaded, the miniseries The Investigation,

and episodes of the series Mind Hunter.

Following a screening of the film at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles, Lindholm spoke with director Scott Cooper about filming The Good Nurse.

Listen on for their spoiler-felt conversation.

I love to be us as films.

For those of you who, this one in particular, which we'll get to,

but for those of you who aren't familiar with his Danish work.

He's really quite prolific.

He's written quite a number of very good TV shows,

investigation, which maybe was last year.

Oregon, of course, some great films, hijacking a war.

But he's also co-written with Thomas Vinterberg, another round, which I hope that you saw,

which was beautiful. And then one of my personal favorites, A Hunt, which is a very uplifting

film like The Good Nurse. But I love this film. It's really chilling. It's obviously

gripping and intense.

But this is your first American feature and one that you didn't write.
