Cinematic Threads
I watched 'Days of Being Wild' a lot when I was putting 'Moonlight' together, and 'If Beale Street Could Talk.' There’s a particular shot where Tony Leung is just sitting in the room alone and smoking a cigarette and he’s wearing a tank top, and the way the light is coming across his body, and the texture of his skin and the smoke, it’s just the most beautiful thing.
