| Directors I love |
Tim Burton, Pedro Almodovar, David Fincher, Clint Eastwood, Terry Gilliam. Orson Welles is a personal all time favourite, but isn't that pretty much obvious for anyone who is even remotely interested in filmmaking? |
| Actors I admire |
I'm a real sucker for those actors who change haircut and clothes and morph into someone they are not, leaving no trace of their former selves behind. For as much as I don't like labels, if it makes it clear for those who read, character actors really rock my boat. E.g.: Brad Dourif, Bruce Geenwood, Ian McShane, Edward Norton, Hugo Weaving and yet again Orson Welles, in his every shape and form and eyebrow movement. And to enter a different land of character actors I also very much admire: Robin Williams, Rutger Hauer, Lance Henriksen, Monica Vitti, Alberto Sordi, and depending on the film Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp |
| Writers I respect |
Charlie Kaufman and Richard Matheson are my all time scriptwriting heroes, up there on a pedestal. Quentin Tarantino too, great plots and great lines. TV writer heroes, definitely David Milch. He is a gem, his dialogues are like water for the thirsty. And Chris Carter whom I believe was one of those who first give serialised drama on TV a real top quality status. |
| My desert island discs |
Blade Runner, Ladyhawke, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Stranger Than Fiction, Little Miss Sunshine, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fargo. TV series Deadwood, Millennium, X-Files, John from Cincinnati. |
