“Maybe I should start with films that really inspired me at the right time. This one was called The Spirit of the Beehive by Víctor Erice, Spanish filmmaker. He hasn't done a lot of films, but I love all of them.”
“And there's another one named Cría cuervos, which is a beautiful film, and I think her name is Ana Torrent who plays the actress in both films. She's amazing.”
“I have to take Naked. One of my favorite films. It's a crazy, beautiful, physical film that I want to show my friends.”
“Ratcatcher by Lynne Ramsay. I'm a big fan and I think I saw it at the right time also. It's it's really beautiful.”
“I was thinking about, I'm I'm making a short film now called Joan of Arc, so I think I'll pick this one, Dreyer's Joan of Arc. I haven't seen it, so I'll take that.”
“I have to take a film by Tarkovsky because he's one of my favorites. This is Stalker. I kind of blend Tarkovsky together with all of his films, Stalker or Mirror. I, there's scenes in Mirror that I think are in Stalker, etc. But I think this one is probably the first film I saw.”
“This is the first Bresson film I saw, L'argent. I don't even know if I say it the right way, I'm terrible in French, but this one surprised me. The craft is like no other.”
“And Bruno Dumont, L’humanité. It really scared me, I remember when I saw it first. Very inspiring, very beautiful, very sad.”
“I'm going to take Blow-Up. I just saw actually Blow Out the other day, it was a lot of fun, it was very nice, but I really love this film.”
“And I have to pick Stanley Kubrick, Barry Lyndon. I would pick, you know, all of the Stanley Kubrick films, but yeah, this is one of my favorites, so I'll take this one.”
