“Sisters was one of the first ones I remember having. I think yeah, maybe might have been Sisters.”

“And The Magic Flute I really love.”

“I'd say Zazie dans le Métro was a as maybe with Persona my favorite film. This is like I watch this probably every month this film embarrassingly. And so, it's just consistently, it's just every thing in it has just so many ideas and just you see the same extras in the background recur and the music's beautiful and she is so good and charming and it's so I don't know, it's just so light on its feet and it's just such a pleasurable world to be in that this was a big, influence I guess on Submarine.”

“Aki Kaurismäki I love. He was a I guess a big influence on The Double that's just come out.”

“And in a way Les Cousins I guess was on The Double just the idea of you know these two characters and in that you know one's this meek field mouse and the other's the kind of city rat.”

“I had Jesse watch some Buster Keaton which he found incredibly unhelpful and it probably in retrospect wasn't that helpful but it was more the sense of someone acknowledging that everything bad that happens to them shouldn't come as a surprise.”
