Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project No. 2

“And in the same collection… Scorsese knows. He knows shit. He chose a film that no one really knows outside… and even in Brazil, it’s a film directed by Mário Peixoto, called Limite. It’s 1931. And this film is– I’ve never seen anything like this film. It’s experimental and beautiful and touching and crazily well shot. Everybody that knows about movies and that loves films in Brazil and elsewhere cultivates this film as a classic. Amazing, amazing.”

“This is one that Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project… shone a light to it. And it’s Lino Brocka, who’s an incredible Filipino filmmaker. Me and Dolly De Leon, when we did Triangle of Sadness, would always speak about Lino Brocka. One of the first ones was Manila in the Claws of Light, which is like an urban odyssey set in Manila in the ’70s, I think. Also Insiang, which is another incredible one. And I believe that… he’s someone who is, in the Philippines, highly regarded as one of the sort of masters of cinema. So, I’ll have that for myself. Thank you very much.”

“Okay, so this is the Martin Scorsese World Cinema Project. Two films that I absolutely love. One is Mysterious Object at Noon. I... When I was a student, I did, like, a thesis project and I studied this film to every minor frame. And it’s really a... It’s really a fantastic film. And also Taipei Story of Edward Yang, which is a city film that I really love a lot. So I’m really happy to have this collection of films.”
