While I admire the movie, I have too many issues with the performances to classify myself a genuine 'fan.' Still, it's interesting to listen to Natali recount the experience.
ReplyDeleteAlong with this interview, I've enjoyed some of his pontifications in recent times - his video intro to Alien and Planet of the Vampires at the Lightbox was great and his Black Museum lecture was most interesting when he discussed how a sense of architectural space impacts his own work (and of course, Cube is all about the architecture).
