"Joanna Hogg is one of my favourite directors and I love this film because it explores what it’s like to be an artist. It’s based around the idea that this couple is going to be moving out of their house and that the house somewhat represents their relationship. It’s very poetic and slow-moving. What’s really interesting is the sound design, because Joanna doesn’t use any music, she uses the sound of the traffic outside or the sound of the trees instead. It really adds to the drama and feels like you’re capturing a real moment."

"I just discovered this fairly recently and I think it's a beautiful, beautiful record. It's kind of like Bobby Jameson in a way. 'I'm Walking Solo', for example, reminds me of Jameson, it's just so beautiful. There's a book on him called Craig Smith - his real name - called 'See Through The Darkness' which I'd recommend. He's just such a special artist. In fact, maybe the records in this list all do have a quality in common; they all have an ability to reach in to me. They really got me at a time when music was really saving my life."

"Another film I really loved is Control. It was directed by Anton Corbijn. It was the story of Joy Division and it was black and white and it was so kind of picturesque. But the cinematography — I think that Anton Corbijn is a photographer who is [an] artist in many forms — some of the shots that he kind of captures in that film are absolutely stunning. I actually haven’t seen his most recent film that I think is called Life, which is a film about James Dean but Control is definitely one I recommend. To anybody."

"When you’ve got a favourite artist, you want to know everything about them, from their favourite colour to what they have for breakfast, and you get that with this Nick Cave documentary. It’s clear how every detail has been carefully and thoughtfully curated by him. I love the glimpse into the friendship between him and Warren Ellis when they’re discussing the time they met Nina Simone, and she said what she wanted to have after her gig: “I want champagne, cocaine and sausages!” They look like little boys when telling the story. It’s a beautiful insight into their world outside of music-making"

"Let the Sunshine In, 2017, Claire Denis “comedy.” I have comedy in quotes. [Laughs] Starring the always fascinating Juliette Binoche as a Parisian artist who’s kind of looking for love in all the wrong places. And it’s kind of a sister film to Claire Denis’ film Friday Night from 2002. But in this one, Binoche inhabits a very complex character who is not entirely self-aware. I found myself laughing at many subtle moments – her misjudgments and misadventures. It also includes some great characters also portrayed by Alex Descas, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, and Gerard Depardieu in a great scene at the end."

"The late, great Edward Yang’s final film is a sublime study of a Taipei family’s tensions and collisions across time that begs the question of what more we could have seen from this deeply sensitive artist. Something about the cinematic philosophy he offers in this movie manages to help answer that unfathomable question. Shohei Imamura’s eccentric film puts forward the deeply uncomfortable notion that a housewife can find a way out of her abusively loveless marriage by escaping with the burglar who raped her. The story is absolutely nuts, and the emotional transformation our weary protagonist makes is both bold and well-deserved."
