"Jean-Luc Godard. My favorite Godard movie is Bande a part (Band of Outsiders), largely in part because I adore Anna Karina. Not to mention the dance and a run through the Louve."

"A follow up to "In the Mood for Love", more futuristic. It is different than "In the Mood for Love" in a lot of ways but still compelling and with Wong Kar-Wai you can't go wrong."
Night on Earth - Criterion Collection

"Jim Jarmusch's film that is an ensemble piece with a very simple premise: take one moment in time and visit five cab rides that are happening in different parts of the world. Of course some of cab rides are better than others but overall this is a great movie."
