Margaret's mind-reading sequence in Disclosure Day is basically the Minority Report mall scene flipped... except this time the woman with the gift is the one running, not the cargo. @disclosureday

5 films to watch before Disclosure Day. Quoted by Spielberg as influences, they'll change what you notice in the film: 1. Three Days of the Condor 2. Minority Report 3. Destination Moon 4. The Sugarland Express 5. Close Encounters of the Third Kind @disclosureday

The first sci-fi film Spielberg ever saw had no aliens in it. Destination Moon, 1950 a rocket that might not have enough fuel to get home. He says it's the first time he ever felt suspense. Disclosure Day is still chasing that fuel gauge. @disclosureday

Barker's background is sketch comedy editing, he grew up on Key & Peele. The cringe-held beats in Obsession are sketch timing applied to horror. Deep dive on the influences that shaped the success of the new horror champion: theframeofreference.com/coll…
OBSESSION is back at the #1 spot in America, surpassing SCARY MOVIE this Monday. This is unprecedented, this century, for a movie heading into its fifth week in peak summer (June/July).

Obsession started with a Simpsons rerun. Curry Barker was watching the Treehouse of Horror II monkey's paw segment when the wish-mechanism finally clicked. The cartoon cracked the script open. Here’s a full map of @obsessionmovie influences

Mungiu chose Bicycle Thieves for his Criterion Closet. The structure is the same: one ordinary person, one city, one day, a moral burden nobody around them has time to notice. Creative influences for « 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days » recap here @Criterion @Festival_Cannes

Before directing anything, Mungiu was first AD on 15 features — including Bertrand Tavernier's Capitaine Conan. Tavernier later called him "one of the real finds I made during Conan." The period-without-fetishizing rule in 4 Months came directly from that set.

Accepting the award last night, Mungiu said: "We need to wait 20 years to watch these films again and see which ones have stood the test of time." He had said something similar in 2007, after winning his first Palme d'Or for 4 Months, 3 weeks and 2 days.

Mungiu was born in 1968, directly because of Ceaușescu's Decree 770. His school class had seven kids named Cristian. He made a film about the decree that created him. 4 months, 3 weeks, 2days.
