The Killing

“The Killing by Stanley Kubrick. Truly amazing movie. The pace of it is amazing. It’s only 84 minutes long, which is insane. And it’s so good. And so contemporary-feeling in its rhythms.”

“The Killing, and they include Killer's Kiss.”

“The Killing. Like, okay. Kubrick. You know, who doesn’t love Kubrick, admire Kubrick? It’s not a matter of love, it’s a matter of admiration. And this is probably the only one I haven’t seen. So I should see it.”

“The Killing. Kubrick, love Kubrick. He's the all-time everything. I also love heist movies and it's also one of his earlier movies so there's something just really fresh and he's figuring it out. The blocking and everything, these masks are so creepy and amazing.”

“So I’m choosing The Killing. This is a seminal Kubrick film, and what I love about it is it moves like clockwork in terms of the heist, but then it ends with that suitcase. And I don’t want to just focus on the suitcase here, but he buys the worst suitcase, I must say. The absurdity of it is almost beautiful. In fact, it is in the way that Sterling Hayden, who’s so perfect in this film, says those great final lines, 'What’s the difference?'”
