Shooters Q&A
| Films I wish I had made |
The 40s? HIS GIRL FRIDAY (all that politics); MY DARLING CLEMENTINE (all that love); THE THIRD MAN (all that human nature). The 21st c?: THE TREE OF LIFE; THERE WILL BE BLOOD; ETERNAL SUNSHINE...; PAN'S LABYRINTH; THE BIG SHORT; HELL OR HIGH WATER; ELLE. |
| I cried watching |
A QUIET PLACE - the smooch. ROMA - the stillbirth. MARIANNE AND LEONARD - the last concert. SORRY WE MISSED YOU - the hand-written note near the end. |
| I left the cinema during |
a Kieslowski, due to noise from the action movie playing in adjacent auditorium. |
| Directors I love |
Still coming up trumps: Anderson (Wes), Denis, Fincher, Haneke, Joon-ho, Malick, Ramsay, Verhoeven, Villeneuve. |
| Actors I admire |
Lee Marvin. James Caan. Tilda Swinton. Samantha Morton. Ryan Gosling. |
| Writers I respect |
Milo Addica, the Coens, Dudley Nichols, Mankiewicz (Herman) - latter not least for getting Ben Hecht to Hollywood |
| My desert island discs |
Those in my vertebrae |
| Books I have given my friends |
'A SEASON IN HELL' - as a loan. 20 years on, he claims it's been his all along. Any reason in hell why I can't borrow it? |
| My death row meal |
A fig - devoured as in WOMEN IN LOVE (1969). |
| The best thing I own |
Sanity - in a crazy world. Or am I just deluded? |

Give me credit!!!!!!!!! |
