The three rules of real estate become reel as director Brad Anderson explains how he takes inspiration from films like his B-side choice, Nicolas Roeg's "Don't Look Now" (1973), to make the places he shoots (whether it's a train, insane asylum or the coast of Spain) just as important as the actors and the plot.
