Berlin Alexanderplatz

This is one of my favorite films ever made. It's fifteen hours long. It's a miracle, it's a dream. It's such a beautiful thing, and so much of what I watch and think about and try to apply to my own existence and my own moviemaking... it's all tied up in this movie. It's just a beautiful, beautiful, heartbreaking, epic masterpiece. It’s one of the greatest films ever made, and it’s very influential for me.
