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 60s? ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. 2001. BLOW-UP. THE IPCRESS FILE. POINT BLANK (all movies about limited comprehension). |
| I cried watching |
The smooch sharing earphones in A QUIET PLACE. The stillbirth in ROMA. All of MARIANNE and LEONARD. |
| 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), Malick, Haneke, Fincher, Ramsay, Denis, Verhoeven, Villeneuve, Cuarón. |
| Actors I admire |
Lee Marvin. James Caan. Tilda Swinton. Samantha Morton. Joaquin Phoenix. |
| Writers I respect |
Milo Addica, the Coens, Dudley Nichols, Mankiewicz (Herman J.) - 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 - to be devoured as in WOMEN IN LOVE (1969). |
| The best thing I own |
Sanity - in a crazy world. Or am I just deluded? |
