Cinema Atlas Connection
My favourite romantic comedies? 'Harold and Maude', 'Modern Romance' and 'Gregory's Girl', I guess. All three were pretty important to me.

I was a big fan of French cinema from the 60s and 70s like Jacques Tati, and also Italian Neorealism. You just pick up things along the way.
