“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
~ Sarah Polley’s Greatest Wish About Stories We Tell
“Anyway, Hitchcock eventually saw a rough cut of High Anxiety. He enjoyed it. But he said nothing after it. He just left. I [thought he] wasn’t happy. The next day, about 11 o’clock in the morning, I get this enormous, beautiful case of Chateau Haut-Brion 1961. That was almost 20 years old [at the time]. I mean, it was priceless. And there were magnums six of them, in a wooden case. Haut-Brion. I mean, oh my God. I’ve still got three of them left waiting. I keep all the good wines.”
What kind of occasion is worthy? When will you know it’s time to go into number four?
“A real, real occasion. I won’t drink it just because it’s a family occasion. I’ll drink it with guys that know what a good wine is and care about, you know, exquisite wines. I have a couple of friends that know what a good wine is.”
~ Mel Brooks, Foodie

You should’ve just left the camera on a close-up of Marie-Jos
This was a really interesting interview. Most of the actors seemed really shy, I wonder if it was a language barrier. I feel like Amalric is usually a bit more effusive. Schnabel was the most outspoken of the group and he seemed pretty reserved as well. I love Schnabel, though. His first two movies are wonderful portraits of artists and art. My favorite thing about him, though, might be the building he painted hot pink in the West Village.
This piece nicely clears up for me the fact the dude in the movie is the French guy from “Munich,” and not in fact Ioan Gruffudd, despite the fact that at least in quick trailer glimpses, he’s a total ringer for Reed Richards.
