Karyn Kusama

“I really wanted Visconti’s The Damned because I wanted to see his approach to notions of decadence, ambition. I love a lot of his movies, and I’ve heard this is a beautiful edition. So I’m going to take this one.”

Brady Corbet

“The Damned, going with more Visconti. It’s not a box set, but it is now.”

Carl Franklin

“And there's another one I'm trying to remember the name of it, The Damned, yeah. I'm just racking up here.”

Mark Bridges

“The Damned. The costumes are by Piero Tosi, unbelievable designer. I try to emulate him, but I will never reach the level of Piero Tosi if I live to be 100. So one can try.”
