Defining films
In their own words
The sort of '60s caper movie was definitely something we talked about... 'Topkapi' was one of them, 'Thomas Crown Affair' was another.
There's certainly a Godard influence in terms of just trying to take the form apart, but I think that was kind of in the air for me at the time.
