Sunday Bloody Sunday

“And this is one of my favorite movies of all time: Sunday Bloody Sunday. This Schlesinger movie, who also, I guess, is Midnight Cowboy, right? But this movie is so fucking good. Peter Finch. Oh God, he’s good in this movie.”

“Sunday Bloody Sunday. It came out the year of The French Connection and was nominated with The French Connection. They all bring back wonderful memories and I'm sure that this is going to be like seeing them as they were intended by the filmmakers, which is very hard to do in a theater anymore where the films are either scratched up or with dirt all over them.”

“Sunday Bloody Sunday. Someone mentioned this to me last night. I currently have a film out, Maestro, and there's part of it in 1971. Someone asked me, 'Oh, were you influenced by Sunday Bloody Sunday?' I said no, but I'd love to look at the movie, and here we are today getting a copy. I can't wait to look at it.”

“Oh Sunday Bloody Sunday, I return to it. It's maybe a lesser known film, it's a John Schlesinger film with Glenda Jackson and Peter Finch and it's just, and I looked at it a lot for my last film May December, and it's just an exquisite, mature and complicated film and beautifully constructed. Notice how I just slipped it in my bag.”

“One of my favorite British films, Sunday Bloody Sunday. Very good film. That's a beautiful film. Beautiful film. And so crazily modern. It's almost like amazing. I'll take that again. That's an amazing, just incredible film.”
