"Run Lola Run is a movie that I really love. It’s very much of its time. I watched it recently, and it’s kind of funny; it doesn’t age that well, but I loved it at the time. And I did a movie around the same time called Saving Grace. Run Lola Run won Sundance the year before us, and then we won at Sundance for Saving Grace — we won the Audience Award — and I remember thinking, “Oh my God!” You know, I can’t believe that we would even be in the same league. That’s when Sundance had movies and stuff — before, like, f—ing drink commercials or whatever the f— they do, some kind of Hollywood ski vacation. But I really loved Run Lola Run. It had a really nice feel to it."

Movie Favorite

"A film that is the cinematic antipode of The Battle of Algiers. Photographed by the great Jack Cardiff, designed by Alfred Junge (both of whom received Oscars for their work here), this film was considered by Michael Powell to be the “most erotic” of all his films. That it takes place within a community of nuns gives his claim a deliciously profane edginess. It is the film that made me first realize how much cinematography can and should contribute to the emotional, dramatic thrust of a movie. It was also a great influence on my own film, the never released Mariette in Ecstasy, a bittersweet experience that made me realize how much more freedom I would always have as a cinematographer than as just another struggling director trapped in the Hollywood system."

Album Favorite

"You could be generic and call it krautrock but I think it’s much more than that. I really think it’s the most modern of that era, you can hear it on so many records, especially on The Good, The Bad & The Queen, those kind of filtered drums that just shuffle. You can hear it everywhere. The track ‘Hollywood’ - we were touring America and I had it on repeat. That, ‘Caramel’, ‘Marzipan’... Damon [Albarn] must have nicked ‘Caramel’ for a title for a Blur song, on 13. I love the cover as well. Artwork has always been really important. I think every band will admit that there’s at least three Neu! tracks they love or three Can tracks, but it’s hard to love a whole album. I genuinely love Zuckerzeit."

Does anyone else have an issue with sound on movies? It always seems like they can't mix it right or something. I watch most of my movies on my tv. When I watch shows they're fine. People talk, you can hear them, yadda yadda. When I watch movies and someone is talking I can barely hear them so I have to turn up the volume. Then when something happens(like suddenly) is so loud it almost blows my ear drums out. So I turn it back down- then I can't hear them talking... again. This happens a lot. It's like Hollywood can't get the soundtracks mixed right. I've been tested so I know it's not my hearing. Drives me nuts. Ok, rant over. Please tell me I'm not alone in this, friends. Smdh.

It is a nightmare, especially when the kids are sleeping, you have to watch a film with your fingers over the volume controls, constantly adjusting it.

I'll check my tv settings. I'm glad it's not just me though. Lol
