I picked this up for the Agnes Jaoui interview (she gets so little press in the USA, considering how awesome she is) but ended up reading the whole thing. So interesting the way all these great filmmakers could have such completely contradictory opinions on their craft.

Great: Richard Linklater, Émir Kusturica, Agnès Jaoui, Terry Gilliam

Valuable: Takeshi Kitano, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Sam Mendes

Morons: Shekhar Kapur, Lukas Moodysson

Inspired me to rewatch Moodyson's "Show Me Love", talked to Kitano (one of my favourites) and reinforced my suspicion that the dude who made Donnie Darko is a total asshole (but I do like the movie, admittedly).

A great peek at what goes on in the mind of first-time directors, told in hindsight. Would've like more probing questions, but a good effort.
