The Big Lebowski
"This was a really important movie for me as a teenager. It was a movie I could have fun with, that I thought was a piece of art and that I thought was doing something modern that had to do with my life. Cinema until then, the ones I really appreciated were done by guys that lived in a different reality from mine and were talking about something in the past that had connections with what I was living but I would have to make an effort to be part of the story and make it work for my reality. With the Coen brothers I thought I was looking at something which was an idea from the day before, you know, and also the commitment they had to their point of view was amazing. I felt excited and it was the perfect film to fall in love with when I was young."
Rudo and Cursi is out now in UK cinemas.

On Diego Luna: I've only seen him in Milk and thought he was the only weak link in an amazing film. I don't know if it was the part of his histrionic performance but I never believed him for a second. Still I'm not going to write the guy off based on one performance. (Reply to this) |

Dave J. writes: on Jun 29 2009 03:17 PM I agree with Diego Luna, if he has more than 5 movies than he should be entitled to list more than 5 films. As a matter of fact sometimes it requires more than 5 movies to inspire someone to make or break into the film business. (Reply to this) |
