Thanks.

Wow excellent interview. I'm really amazed at the head of the studio predicting the box office failure yet saying it was ok because some movies need to be made regardless of money.

Great. Not a single word about Jerry Goldsmith's sublime score which contributes SO MUCH to the film and even MAKES certain scenes work which otherwise might have fallen flat.

It's great to see so many amateurish interviewers and bloggers at work. REAL film journalism is (almost) dead.

You should get over it. Goldsmith's film score is more famous than the movie. I first listened to it two or so years ago. I only got around to watching the movie today!

Very good interview. I liked to learn that John Alcott, the DP of Barry Lyndon, worked on the movie. I also found the story of Bill Stewart interesting.

This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
