Hey folks, Harry here... got a busy film day - a pair of summer blockbusters and a big FANTASTIC FEST meeting, but before I leave the house, I had to share this. It's one thing to hear film critics worshipping a filmmaker that is known for being brilliant, but difficult for mass consumption, but when you have two filmmakers like David Fincher and Christopher Nolan. These two have a very obvious understanding of film on an incredibly powerful & commercial level. Now, they've sat down and given their thoughts on what it is that Malick does that no other filmmaker can quite emulate. It's really quite a sweet expression of love for another filmmaker that I genuinely wish other filmmakers would open themselves up to discuss and reflect upon the great contemporaries as they make difficult films to sell.
TREE OF LIFE is great filmmaking. A film that bores its way into your brain and in the month or so since seeing it, I have to say - I reflect upon the film often with friends. Can't say that about much of anything else this year. Though in a completely different way, I am going there with Woody's MIDNIGHT IN PARIS. Anyway, here's David and Chris... Enjoy...
