Todd Solondz: I can't choose what I want to remember
In the Telegraph, Todd Solondz puzzles a bit before picking About Schmidt as a favorite pic: "I'm not sure what angle I'm supposed to take," he frets... "That's very limited. I'm sorry about failing you on this simple, simple assignment... I've gone all over the map for you. All over the map." ... Solondz's taste ranges from Peter Greenaway to The Sound of Music. But nothing was a positive inspiration. "Years ago, I saw a series of short student films and they were all dreadful, just terrible. That was a negative incentive, rather than my having the moxie of seeing Nicholas Ray's work and thinking, 'I could do that.' ... I often find the movies I don't like to be more memorable. Unfortunately I can't choose what I want to remember."
