17.And finally, inThe Menu(2022), because of how director Mark Mylod filmed the movie, the actors were always on set and constantly in the background while other scenes were unfolding. This meant that the actors, like Nicholas Hoult and Anya Taylor-Joy, were constantly told toimprovisewhile they were in the background. This also gaveThe Menuthe feeling of a one-room play.
