“There are some films that arrive here from the international festival circuit almost incandescent with self-importance. They hover into the cinema in a kind of floating trance at how challenging and moving they are. They are films with a profound reluctance to get over themselves. They look up at the sceptical observer with the saucer-eyed saintliness of a baby seal in culling season, or a charity mugger smilingly wishing a nice day on the retreating back of a passer-by. One such is Babel.” LooksKindSelfFilmMovingWishChallengesNiceBabySeasonsImportanceProfoundCharityInternationalCinemaLook UpGet OverFloatingObserversFestivalsSealsCircuitsTranceSelf-importanceReluctanceNice DayBabelMuggersCulling Author:Peter Bradshaw
“The scripts for Marco Polo are absolutely, positively fantastic. The challenge of making that show in China has proved to be as formidable as we feared. It's not like making a movie in China where, once you load up and you leave, you're gone. We have to be able to come back and capture something that's going to feel like a major feature film, on a television budget, and do it, hopefully season after season, so we are taking more time than the producers thought.” FeelsShowsAbleFilmChallengesGoneTelevisionMajorsSeasonsScriptsChinaProducersHopefullyFantasticBudgetsFeaturesMore TimeCaptureLoadPositivelyFormidableMarcosPoloMarco Polo Author:Chris Albrecht

“A great deal of it is mental, the ability to learn within the game, to perform at a high level - often with injury - and to weather the ups and downs of an emotional game through a 16-game season.

“Having a child is the polar opposite experience of the awards season experience. The awards-season experience requires you to be out in the community, in the heart of the community, at the nucleus of the film community in a really committed way for about a six-month period of time.
