today strange film
Too many films today feel formulaic and familiar. I prefer it when the familiar is made to feel strange.
mistake thinking two
They think something's gone wrong, but in Don't Look Now, for instance, one scene was made by a mistake. It's the scene where Donald Sutherland goes to look for the policeman who's investigating the two women.
movie book theatre
Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.
marketing tools good-things
Marketing is a very good thing, but it shouldn't control everything. It should be the tool, not that which dictates.
broken-heart order missing
The rules are learnt in order to be broken, but if you don't know them, then something is missing.
women
I like women in film. I like women in general, but I especially like to show them on film. They are not ciphers.
