The Culture Show: Guillermo del Toro Interview 7:08pm on 26 Jul 2009 Sorry about spelling, been a long day!
The Culture Show: Guillermo del Toro Interview 7:07pm on 26 Jul 2009 Oh and one more thing, regarding the Exorcist defintely up there in the top ten but think the book is much better than the film. Adios.
The Culture Show: Guillermo del Toro Interview 6:48pm on 26 Jul 2009 The word Auteur is often attached to various Directors and sometimes is deserved (rarely). Having followed GDT's career and filmography I can only say thank you to the cosmos that we have a true bonafide auteur in our midst. Passionate, a true creative in every sense of the word, intelligent and so on. (Don't want to sound too sycophantic). A true anti-dote to the american film factories and the talentless hacks (I think we all know who they are) that direct and produce their poisonous and more often than not pointless output. I have complete trust in GDT and his story telling in so far as to never have to read a review of his work, I will watch it whatever and am never disapointed. Pans Labyrinth was truly a landmark for me of the last 15-20 years and yet the thing is, I am sure the best is yet too come!!! That is what cinema should be about, to instil magic, mystery, wonder, excitement, the unknown... I could go on. And just one thing Dr Kermode that I must disagree on (I usually concur on most things) Indy IV sucked on a a teutonic gophering scale!!!!!!!! Discuss?
