I've always liked John Heard,
:28:09
he struck me as an all-American actor.
:28:13
I particularly liked him
in a film called Head Over Heels
:28:16
where he was madly in love with this girl,
:28:20
and again, struck me as the kind of
:28:24
very intelligent American nice guy
who would be
:28:31
the ideal pawn in such an exotic game.
:28:43
My particular church
did not allow theatre attendance
:28:47
so I never really went to movies
in any serious way until I was in college.
:28:53
That was the time of
the European cinema of the '60s.
:28:57
That was the cinema I first encountered,
:29:00
the cinema I fell in love with,
:29:02
and just like one never forgets
one's real-life first love,
:29:06
one never forgets one's art-life first love.
:29:10
So, many of the things
I've done subsequently
:29:14
have circled around those sort of films
that I fell in love with.
:29:19
Not around Westerns
or musicals or horror films
:29:25
but around that kind of intellectual
cinema of Europe in the '60s.
:29:38
We wanted a shot of Paul
listening to the two of them talk,
:29:44
so we put that little part of the set back
:29:47
and did that crane shot, down into Paul.
