and since I live in nyc I totally haunted the IFC retrospective of his work last month.
I wish I'd known there was one—I'd have haunted with you!
What other movies do you like?
Oh, yikes. Do you want a list of films or directors or whatever pops into my head? Powell and Pressburger's A Canterbury Tale (1944) and Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1967) are two of my highest favorites; some others are Aleksandr Rogozhkin's The Cuckoo (2002), Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man (1973), Dennis Potter's Brimstone and Treacle (1976), Anthony Asquith's Pygmalion (1938), and Ron Howard's Splash (1984), if that helps. I don't know. In theaters this year, Let the Right One In and The Fall blew me away; most of the actors I watch for, presently or past, are the character kind. Until I got to college, most of the movies I had seen were from the 1930's and '40's. I like character work, I like myth and folklore, and I like weird. And by this logic, I totally need to see more by Desplechin.
