It’s always fascinating to see the films that inspired a brilliant filmmaker. Here are the films Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) chose from the Criterion closet:
- Ingmar Bergman’s Fanny and Alexander
- Satyajit Ray’s The Apu Trilogy
- Andrew Haigh’s Weekend
- John Cassavetes: Five Films
- Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Dekalog
- Mathieu Kassovitz’s La Haine
- Joel Coen’s Blood Simple
- Catherine Breillat’s Fat Girl
- Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding
- Lynne Ramsay’s Ratcatcher
- David Gordon Green’s George Washington
- Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon
- The Essential Jacques Demy
- The Complete Jacques Tati
Criterion has also compiled a “Best of” Closet Picks video as well.
