Touki Bouki

“Touki Bouki, which I just saw recently, which is really an amazing film. I just shot a film with Claire Denis in… in Senegal, and this was a film made in Senegal, and very modern, really interesting. You kind of get the feeling that they’re kind of discovering the film as they’re going along, and that’s really special. And so I’m going to watch this one again.”

“I would like to get the Touki Bouki one because I don't have that. This movie has inspired every movie we've ever made. Very much inspired Gasoline Rainbow and I wish that we were able to pull off the trick that Mambéty pulls off where the film just feels like it's floating and that's always an aspiration for us.”

“Did we speak about... Yeah, master, master of African Cinema from Senegal. He's going into folktale cinematography to extract some very beautiful metaphor for the present and I think that's also something that is very African.”
