It's Not My Job. The Weinstein Company,

I Chose The American Ones, More Or Less The Last Five Years Of The Silent Era, Because Those Are The Ones That Aged The Best In The Way They Tell The Story. One, It's About Human Beings With Context. It's A Very Classical Story With Feelings, With Laughter, Melodrama And It Really Works, The Good Ones - Murnau's American Movies, John Ford's Four Sons, King Vidor's The Crowd, Or The (josef) Von Sternberg Movies. You Can Watch It Now And It Still Works. I Mean They Are Really, Really Good Pieces So This Is Where I Tried To Work.
