Renate Reinsve

“Oh yes, and just like from an acting point of view, Robert Bresson, or Robert Bresson in America. I just saw Pickpocket and Bresson, Bresson is really interesting because he's very progressive in his acting because there will, there will always be acting, ways of acting that are more fashionable for, I guess the time you live in, but yeah, this was, he believed that all our actions are mechanical and you don't really choose what you do, like your arm goes there and here and then, it just does that. So his, yeah, the actors in his movies are really special. They're very, open because they are not doing very much. And we tried to with Joachim's film, Joachim Trier's film The Worst Person in the World, we tried to play around with how little we could do.”

“Oh, this is like the best combination and, I, this is, White Material. Yeah, I just love the sensibility and the sensuality of Claire Denis and the way she elevates kind of everyday moments is to be very sensible and very like, I'm always almost there, you know. I can smell stuff, I can feel stuff when I, when I see her films.”

“Oh, this is I think my, because I come from a place where you don't really see films, and it's, it's a very, very small place. It's called Solbergelva and it's nothing there, and I wasn't exposed to films and art until very late. But this, you can imagine, Mulholland Drive, David Lynch, when I was young and I was in shock, and I saw it maybe like 20 times and I read all about it, and I read like people try, have tried to understand it and actually going crazy trying to understand it. I just love him.”

“Okay, so I'll take a Kiarostami Certified Copy on the, for the road, like you said.”

“The Piano Teacher, by the way. This is like the best acting. It's her, of course, her presence and, her detail in thought and her detail in, in what she's going through. She's, she's, I can't say how she does it, of course, but it's, it's like she's very free, but she's also really controlled, so she can, she can go anywhere with her, where, with the scene or with the moment.”

“And I think I'm going to start with, my all-time favorite director is Andrei Tarkovsky, and this is a newly restorated edition of Mirror.”

“Oh, and I just, this I, this trilogy by Ingmar Bergman.”

“And oh, just quickly, Renoir. I'll take that one too. Okay, I'm finished.”
