Joachim Trier

"A completely generous narrative that involves us in the ambivalence of a film director. The feeling of a free personal form creates one of my all time favorite films."

"About faith and creation, by the Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky. The story of the bell maker's son is the best allegory of creating a film I have ever seen."

"The actor and the process. Perhaps Gena Rowlands' most daring role."

"Paul Schrader’s uniquely structured film about the interplay between life and art in the works of Japanese writer Yokio Mishima. This masterpiece has for some reason never been canonized."

"The great Roy Scheider in the lead role of Bob Fosse’s musical autobiography. Ruthless, sexy and ultimately very true."
