“Victor Erice's El Sur. Second film, maybe not as well known as his first film which is equally beautiful, The Spirit of the Beehive. Honestly every film he's ever made is one of the best films in cinema history. This film is gorgeous. Along with Spirit of the Beehive, these two movies taught me how to film people watching, which is such a huge part of my own cinematic language.”
