What do you love about cinema?
What I love most about films is the their ability to surprise me. All of my favourite films seem to have that ability. There is a lot of mediocrity in film particularly at the big budget end of the spectrum. It is the films that bring something unexpected and wonderful to the medium that I love. I go into every film with more hope than expectation that this will happen and I love when it does.
Why did you pick World Cinema as your topic?
Why did you pick World Cinema as your topic?
I picked the topic of World Cinema for a couple of reasons. One is for a purely selfish reasons: basically to hear lots of suggestions for films I have yet to see! The other reason is that in general terms the most interesting films coming out at the moment seem to be in a different language. Films like A Separation and Of Gods and Men stand head and shoulders above anything that Hollywood is offering.
