Going to an interview for film school tomorrow and using this to brush up on one of my favourite directors, great video!

This guy is such a fucking genius.
Still, to this day, my favourite Mendes film is Road To Perdition. It’s a perfect movie. Can’t wait to see 1917.

Sam Mendes, I'm Julia Grigorian, I'm genius number One in the world alive. Please discover me and let Leonardo DiCaprio play in my film "Inglorious Basterds-2" my brother, if Zac Efron is not able to do that. I want to play myself. Please be the producer of my films. The script is on WordPress. God bless you.

Incredibly overrated film director. His films look visually stunning but ultimately are empty. He’s probably a better theatre director.
