“Fat Girl I have never seen a film think it's one thing like tell you it's one thing and then in the end reveal itself to be something else the performances are amazing Catherine Breillat is a queen all of her movies are just unreal...”

“Wanda Barbara Loden she made This brilliant film she left the world way too early this movie is such a study of Womanhood there's no glory in it's just the life of a woman who has reached the end of her rope I could watch this movie over and over and over again...”

“Girlfriends Claudia Weill this movie is incredible it actually reminds me a lot of Frances Ha of Noah Baumbach's that he wrote with Greta Gerwig that she stars in the relationship between the friends is super similar I love Girlfriends it's like a true New York City story the Dynamics are amazing there's you know a little bit of inappropriate behavior by people who have more power than others and friends who get pregnant versus friends who don't...”

“À nos amours I think that movie is beautiful but I also think it's really important in 2022 to be able to contextualize it right so then when I was like 14 or 15 years old there's like full frontal nudity it's important conversations to have and I watched Vagabond right after that also has something for that and I remember just in my head they're kind of linked where I was like oh she went from like that character is in Maurice Pialat's world...”

“This movie for me is perfect Truffaut made a movie that is so generous in spirit he divulged all of his Secrets he let you in on what The Process was there's a huge Montage in the middle of the film where they're setting up the day I think and the cranes are going up and the and the extras are getting into plays and this and the score is unbelievable it's also hard to find I'm like this I might frame it I'll take the DVD out but then I'll frame the Box...”

“I'm just gonna pick one more and I'm gonna pick it at random I'm just gonna close my eyes and my eyes are closed and I'm just going to turn around once The Other Side of Hope couldn't have picked a better film so thank you...”

“Oh well this is a good place to start I just remember I mean A Woman Under the Influence amazing Shadows Faces but Opening Night for me was just there are scenes that sometimes I wake up in the morning and I think of them like when they're on stage and I just I love that movie...”

“I would be remiss if I didn't talk about Rohmer because I was kind of named after one of his movies there's a softness to the way he tells stories that you know the French filmmakers of the new wave are just so increment here it's like I could be holding them up together...”

“I really love her so much you know who she reminds me of there's that filmmaker Alice Guy-Blaché who was like the first arguably the first fiction filmmaker of all time she was French but then she came over to the US and was living in Fort Lee New Jersey before Fort Lee moved out to be Hollywood and I feel like Agnès Varda really picked like lived in her shoes when she was alive interesting anecdote about Vagabond I watched when I watched movies...”
