"Kiarostami was one of the greatest directors. I’m really attracted to films that play with the contrast between reality and fiction, and this is maybe the best example of the mix of the two. How that mix develops over the course of the movie is a revelation. It’s also a very touching portrait of someone who wants to be a part of art—how he isn’t part of it but then becomes part of it."

"As a sixteen-year-old when I first saw it, I was mesmerized, if utterly baffled, by Buñuel’s delightfully told, superbly crafted, and deeply disturbing fable of a young married woman, frigid at home, prostitute by day. Fantasy and reality interplay so freely that it is impossible to know the difference. And it matters not a whit. Love is punishment either way. And Catherine Deneuve’s almost unbearable beauty makes it hurt all the more."

"The reality is, the movies that were most impactful to me growing up, when I decided I wanted to make movies, I was going to see Woody Allen double features with my brother, back when they had double features. Younger audiences today, they don’t even know what that word means. But they would show two Woody Allen movies back to back. Bananas. Take the Money and Run, that era of Woody Allen."
