The Criterion Collection
The director of Beau Is Afraid talks about one of the best experiences he’s had in a movie theater, the inspiration he’s taken from Karel Zeman, and the possibility that Cure is “the greatest movie ever made.”
The actor talks about his passion for Japanese cinema, champions fellow Canadian Allan King, and reminisces about movies he’s enjoyed with friends.
The Emmy-winning actor tells us his perverse choice for “the best date movie on earth” and talks about a film recommended to him by Seth Meyers.
