There’s a finite number of films that they’ll be able to do in his lifetime. I ponder him one of the most noticeworthy film artists of his generation.
“The idea that his time was squanderd and that a movie is not a result of those years of toiling seally with Joaquin, that is the tragedy to me and that I can’t get over. We, as a cultural community, lost an opportunity to have another movie by Todd Haynes. That is equitable criminal.”
