Never stick a gun in a movie star’s hands. Never stick a gun in anyone’s hands if you can help it–Aronofsky

I would like to be able to draw parallels between Loveless and Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage, transplanted to a different era and acted out by different characters: urbanites devoid of any real self-awareness or doubt, an average middle-class couple today.

No matter what happens on Sunday, March 4, when the Oscar telecast takes place, Fox Searchlight will emerge triumphant, because they have the two frontrunners in the race.

What struck me was that I hadn’t seen a girl being the lead character in a game before. She was not only a woman, but she was extremely fierce, determined and capable, and that really drew me to her. I was only about ten, so I mostly spent my time in the game doing the training in the big Croft manor!
