The Films That Inspired WHAT’S UP LOVELY

In some way, shape or form these films influenced me as I was making WHAT’S UP LOVELY.  Some in pre-production, others while shooting and even more during the editing process. 

Meshes in the Afternoon (1943)

Persona (1966)

Chungking Express (1999)

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)

Mullholland Drive (2001)

Ratcatcher (2006)

The Girlfriend Experience (2009)

    Hm. Just watched “Meshes of an Afternoon” in its entirety:

    It’s artfully creepy and experimental. Might have to do a blog post on that title and check out more from that director.
    Thanks.

    It’s definitely experimental and out there – surprising coming from the time it was made. And I only noticed after I shot LOVELY how some of its elements made it into my film.

    Thanks for checking it out!
