Defining films

In their own words

That [Wings of Desire] was definitely a reference. It's hard to make a film about loneliness in a city.

On Wings of Desire · The Guardian: 'Sofia Coppola on The Beguiled: 'I wanted to make a Southern Gothic fever dream''

Wong Kar-wai, especially Chungking Express... the way he does the mood and emotion of the characters, the feeling of loneliness.

On Chungking Express · Reverse Shot Interview

L'Eclisse is a film I revisit often, especially for its sense of alienation and how it captures the mood of a specific time and place. It's always in the back of my mind.

On L’Eclisse · The Hollywood Reporter interview

I love Antonioni. L'Eclisse is a film I revisit often, especially for its sense of alienation and how it captures the mood of a specific time and place.
