The Origins of Bond, James Bond

It’s all things Quantum of Solace these days, with the latest in the Bond franchise opening next week. And Newsweek took the opportunity to ask Swiss director Marc Forster what his film influences were. He came up with a very illuminating top five list, all, as it turns out, from directors we here at Criterion are very familiar with: Nicolas Roeg, Alain Resnais, Marcel Carné, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Federico Fellini. Check out his choices and comments here.
