“I think this is an absolutely brilliant film, but I cannot watch it, 'cause I've got, two little children, and I found the scene at the beginning with the boy falling, and it would seem to be shot like Bill Viola or something, really super, super slow motion, and it's got a, like a Handel aria or something, which is so utterly moving. It's so—I found it so manipulative and so, I almost couldn't cope with it at all.”

“I saw Lynne Ramsay's film Ratcatcher here. That's absolutely, completely brilliant, that film. When I first saw that, it was amazing. I saw her short film, I can't remember what that's called, beforehand, before that, and, and then Morvern Callar after that. It's amazing.”

“The Passion of Joan of Arc. I found this—, well, I've just written some music with my friend Will Gregory for this film, and this is the most amazing thing. A friend of mine showed me this because we were looking for a thing for music to, to, a film to write music to, and, I was, I looked at about 20 silent films with Will, and, this one just stuck right out.”

“Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. I'm really interested to see this again because it, I remember it really well on TV, like again, the BBC always showed really cool films, and I found that so brutal, so absolutely vicious, and I'm intrigued to see it again, and, yeah, it's amazing.”

“The 39 Steps. Yeah, I love this. I, I love all versions of this story, but I particularly like this one with Robert Donat, Donat, Donat. Amazing. I, it's just because I love Scotland as well, and it's shot in Scotland, and the story is so, exciting. It's completely brilliant, and, and it's a bit cheeky as well. It's typically Alfred Hitchcock trying to get his camera up as many women's skirts as he can do.”
