Charlotte Rampling And Andrew Haigh

“I know which one I want to find first, which I think is probably the best way to start this, but I have to find, where will I find The Night Porter? Oh, got it! This. Oh, oh I like the cover. Yeah, it's a beautiful cover, a new one. So I think we have to start with that, just because I don't have that on Blu-ray. No, I don't, well I'll have that one. When was the last time you watched? I'm not going to take it out, it's the first one. When was the last time you watched The Night Porter, would you say? Very long time ago.”

“A Room with a View, which was one of the first. I worked for Merchant Ivory in my youth, and it still holds up so amazingly well, that film. I saw it recently and Howards End too I saw, they're both really beautiful. They're much more kind of subversive than you end up thinking they are, do you know what I mean?”

“Oh, that's a good one.”

“Oh, this is a whole, this is If.... Wonderful. Oh yeah, wonderful film. Oh, that's great, I loved out that, yeah. Do you want that, one of them? Yeah. Do you have a DVD player or a Blu-ray player? Well, I don't have a Blu-ray player. Then you should take the DVD.”

“Now I should probably not admit to not having seen this film, but I have never seen Ivan's Childhood. Trouble with Tarkovsky, I always fall asleep. I think that's all right to fall asleep in Tarkovsky, I mean that's what I've been told. It's all right Charlotte, don't worry about it. You wake up and it's still going on and you know it's still, you fall asleep and then you wake up and it like invades your dreams. That's right.”

“Have you ever seen this film, Charlotte? Which? Ratcatcher, Lynne Ramsay's British film. It's beautiful, beautiful film. She is great. I like, when I was dreaming of being a filmmaker, I always used to watch Ratcatcher in the hope that I would be like Lynne Ramsay one day, yeah.”

“And you're not going to take Weekend? No, I got it. You gave it to me, you gave it to me. You insisted, I heard you insisted I see it. This is a really good film. It's a really, it's a lovely film, you should try and catch that one.”

“Watership Down, which I'm very pleased that Criterion released. Have you ever seen Watership Down? Oh yeah. Existential agony of life played by rabbits. Yeah, all right, can't beat it.”

“Black Narcissus, definitely one of my all-time favorites. Have you seen Black Narcissus? Yes I have. Incredible. They did it so well, didn't they? Just incredible, yeah. So much like repression bursting from every frame.”

“Bergman Island, which I have, but I went to Bergman's island. We showed 45 Years at a little tiny festival on his island, and it was incredible because you show like the film in his little personal cinema, and I watched Persona in his personal cinema, and they don't let anybody sit in his seat where he used to sit, and it's just incredible. And then you stay in this little kind of guest house which is attached to his house, and you can walk around and you can see his like desk, and they show you like his scribbles on the wall and all kinds of things. It was just amazing.”

“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 that, I'll take that again. That's an amazing, just incredible film.”
