No, it's a New York story. The fire department told me, you know, never move above a laundromat or a pizza place. And I was like, that's the entire fucking city. Yeah.
It was a laundromat fire. A piece of lint caught on fire during the night. My wife and I were a few blocks away. And my mother and daughter, they got out immediately. So they were fine. The fire department put the fire out. They actually even said like, hey, if you don't have a place to go, Ja. Ja. Well, that's lucky, man.
Yeah, I just directed three advertisements in Portugal, but pre-production was in the UK. It was the first time that I had made any money, really, in years, because both my partner and I made zero dollars on the last two films that we made. Zero? Yes, actually zero. So we... We had to, you know, just sort of like live off of a paycheck from three years ago.
And obviously the timing during an awards campaign and having to travel every two or three days was less than ideal. But, you know, it sort of was an opportunity that landed in my lap and I jumped at it.
Yeah, I've spoken to many filmmakers that have films that are nominated this year that can't pay their rent. I mean, that's a real thing. I mean, you're not paid to be promoting a film. And, you know, like... Wenn man sich bestimmte Filme anschaut, die in Cannes präsentiert wurden, das war fast ein Jahr zuvor. Was soll man tun? Man muss arbeiten, oder?
Ja, stell dir vor, unser Film präsentierte sich im September, also habe ich das seit sechs Monaten gemacht und hatte keinen Einkommen, weil ich nicht mehr Zeit habe, um zu arbeiten. Ich kann momentan nicht mal einen Schriftstück machen.
Well, it's also, I mean, what's so crazy about promoting a film, I mean, to this extent, I mean, because it's opening internationally at the same time that it's opening domestically. Yeah. Das bedeutet, dass du die japanische Presse, die Schweizer Presse, alles auf einmal machst. Und es sind sieben Tage pro Woche, es ist unvergleichbar. Und es ist unvergleichbar. Es ist unvergleichbar.
Since the Christmas break. And that was also only four days.
No, I mean, that's what's so crazy about this entire process, is that you look your worst, and you feel your worst, and you are, you know, depending on the themes of your film, like, you're usually talking about some of the most complex issues of our era. Yeah, right. Like, it's really not ideal. It's like a six-month...
Yeah, and also, you know, it's hard to imagine that, like, I don't personally have a sense that any of these conversations... Go anywhere. Go anywhere. No, I know. It's a really weird thing. Like, you know, I completed, like... 90 Interviews last week.
And on the one hand, I'm not looking for them, so maybe that's why I'm not finding them. But it seems like if you do that much, that you would just come across it.
Ja, natürlich. Die andere Sache ist, dass, besonders für mich, ich weiß, was es bedeutet, vor einer Kamera zu sein. Ich habe das seit Jahren gemacht. And I resigned. So it is kind of a strange thing.
Ja, ich meine, es ist lustig, dass du sagst, dass der Film einen großen Kack hat, weil es eine Art Investition ist, genau das. Der männliche Ego im Mittelland war sicherlich einer der Themen des Films. Ich meine, die Charaktere wurden sehr viel zu ihren Umständen geschrieben, um zu sagen, dass Es waren v.a. zentrale europäische, jüdische Architekten, die diese Gebäude bauten.
Aber sie waren auch v.a. männlich. Und ich dachte mir, wer braucht wirklich einen Film über einen männlichen Künstler, einen geheimen Geist? And my partner and I just, you know, there was no way around it. Like, this is just who the character was. This was their gender. They definitely would be a man of a certain age, etc., etc.
And so we tried to offset that to the very best of our ability because of the fact that Our feeling was that this character's legacy is not his body of work, but ultimately his family. So it opens and concludes with shots of his niece that he has sort of paved the way for, but it's also part of the vicious cycle of history. Will her life be better or worse?
Ja, ich denke, es kommt eigentlich nur aus den Screenplays. Ich denke, was es spezifisch ist, ist, dass ich es mag, jemanden zu sehen, der ihre Gitarre spielt, bis ihre Finger bluten, oder ihren Sax zu spielen, bis ihre Lungen explodieren. Oder ich mag auch, dass es vier Bars von Ruhe gibt. Ja. It's an interesting thing where like everything in between, I'm not particularly interested in.
And like if I reach for an album, I mean literally like what my ear yearns for, it's William Basinski or, you know, it's Orna Coleman. I mean, there's nothing really in between.
It is. It was the last piece of music that he published, I would say, because he actually was working on an album at the time. How did you get hip to him? Er war mein Hero. Wirklich? Ja, als ich groß war. Ich habe Scott's Records geliebt. Und ich hatte diese Art von Obsession mit einem Rekord namens Tilt aus den 90er Jahren. Und das... I went backwards with him.
I had no, as an American, even though Scott was American, he lived in the UK since 1978. And he never left. He never left the country. Smart. I mean, he did drop dead right after Brexit. I think we know how he felt about it. I remember when Leonard Cohen died just before...
Ich bin so, ja, vielleicht. Aber Scott war, Scott war lustig, weil natürlich, du weißt, besonders für Leute, die in den USA geboren sind, sie wussten ihn von seiner Jungs-Band, du weißt, und sie waren die Walker-Brüder, du weißt, sie waren sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie, sie So they were really assembled by the label.
