few visible scars
I guess a big plus of becoming a big name director, and beloved by the art house side of cinema, is you get to put your family home movies out there and everyone goes 'wow, that's a beautiful evocation of family' or something.
OK, it's nice, for a bit. I would love to become that guy.. but it's far to personal, and has a feel of ... shown how we want it to be seen. So all the beautiful flower people gather round him.. but, hang on, is it TOO coincidental that they are all god looking, healthy, young? Like straight from some idealised fictional film of Woodstock?
So either the 'not so good looking' ones were turned away that day, for filmic aesthetics ..... or he only picks good looking 'hippy chicks' to join his in crowd.. and now it starts to sound a bit weird, cultist. 4 years ago -
