“Seconds. I love this movie. I even thought of making a remake one day of Seconds and I heard someone else is doing it.”
“Master of the House. I'm obsessed with Dreyer, obsessed with him. You know, some you have your favorite directors when you're 20, some you have your favorite directors when you're 30, and now I'm older than that, but I'm rewatching.”
“Safe. I've seen it twice or three times, but there's a short film of Todd Haynes that I don't know that is inside also. This is such a dark movie.”
“Wow, I know, I was trying to find it. It's never been... State of Siege. I saw it as a kid. I saw it like 10 times in a row between the age of 10 and 12 because it was playing next to my House in Argentina and I could get in for free because I knew the guy. It's never been released in France, this DVD. Great movie.”
“You know that this movie, no one knows it in France. It just was re-edited lately. I know that Harmony Korine says that's his favorite French movie.”
“Oh, this one. One of the most visual Japanese movies ever. I already have the DVD but it's more colorful and crazier than any Dario Argento movie or any Mario Bava movie. There's one masterpiece in Japanese horror cinema from the '60s, this is the one.”
“I haven't seen it in a long time. Island of Lost Souls.”
“And this is the first, the first cannibal movie that is really a masterpiece.”
“One of my very favorite movies ever. I have it on DVD but I don't have it on Blu-ray, so I'm sure there are extras that I've never seen. This movie is so good.”
“It's Mishima's only movie as a director and it's about a seppuku that a guy makes and he fails and he commits suicide with a doing Harakiri and that's what he did in Real Life a few years later.”
“This is the best. Whoever wants to buy two movies that make sense to watch together, buy this double bill: Mishima by Paul Schrader and Mishima's Patriotism. Very highly recommended to anyone.”
“What are... There be horror movies from Japan? From which time? '60s and '70s? Are they scary?”
“I'm going to get Imamura. I love Japanese cinema but I haven't seen his movies.”
