Fell in love with that movie from the first scenes, it’s sad but exquisite. And so good that Benoit agreed to be in the movie with Juliette

I’ve been wanting to watch this movie since it came out. Love this round up.

Would also add Ang Lee’s Eat Drink Man Woman to the list.

I can't remember if I've seen that film, if I have, I haven't seen that for a long time, but I love his work generally.

God my brain nowadays. Sometimes I watch a film and only realise 3/4 way through I've already seen it

In that late night dinner scene there was no script. Apparently, Scorsese just told his mother to act caring and go for it.

it's so authentic - you can tell she actually knows these actor in real life. She also looks like Scorsese. The painting is hilarious.

Ha yea. The painting was inspired by a picture from a magazine which one of the actors had seen.

She didn’t actually paint it? It was so amateur

Not sure who painted it, probably one of the cast. But it was just inspired by a random magazine.
