“What if you just held on that shot, and you stay on River’s head, and then you continue with him for much longer? What would that give to our sense of his character?

(…)

The significance of “Idaho” has changed because River is gone, but you want him to just be there, you want him to keep going, you want to see what he can do, and you want to find all that is still alive and is still around that exists of him. Consequently, those moments that would immediately pull you out of a normal film, pull you into this film because River is walking around, he is alive again.’’ (x)
