It is always interesting to listen to the talents of the cinema industry pour out on their respective tastes in terms of films; To discover which works have forged their filmphilies, sometimes aroused their artistic vocations, acting as a revelation. The LetterboxD site has made a “specialty” to probe talents on the red carpets asking them to give the list of their four favorite films. Given the brevity of the exercise on a red carpet, the result can sometimes be frustrating.
On a promotional tour for Life of Chuck, Tom Hiddleston, he took the time, even counted, to settle in an armchair to deliver his selection, explaining why.
One of the greatest films of the 90s
He thus opens his selection of favorites by a monument to American cinema, which has become a classic: Heat by Michael Mann. “It's Michael Mann at the height of his power. They are Al Pacino And Robert de Niro to the peak of their powers. Perhaps one of the largest actor performance to Val kilmer.
But, really, when I talk to you, the reason why I love Heat is his concern for detail and his precision. All aspects of his design in Michael Mann are fabulous. I think the film is improving even more over time. “
Laudatory remarks that make even more tasty This brilliant imitation of Robert de Niro that Hiddleston had made on the set of Graham Norton Show Nine years ago, in the presence of the interested party.
The feel good movie par excellence
He places in 3rd position the Grande Bellezza de Paulo Sorrentino, who will also be rewarded by the Oscar for best international film in 2014. “It's a film that really surprised me, that I discovered here in England when it was released. […] It has a sensational opening. Paulo Sorrentino is a filmmaker whom I hold in high esteem “.
His silver medal is attributed to an absolute classic of American cinema: the musical singing in the rain. “An eternal film. When the world is managed by machines, they will wonder how this film could have been made. It is such a pure, honest work. [Les chansons] Good Mornin 'Good Mornin' is a fabulous number; Make 'Em Laugh' is an iconic dance number … and seeing Gene Kelly actually singing in the rain is an eternal piece of film. You can show this film to someone 3 to 93 years old, and make them smile in the same way. “
And the film n ° 1 is …
As for its gold medal, it is attributed to another unbeatable film of rankings, but which still deserves it a lot: the Evadés of Frank Darabont. Who is, we will never repeat it enough, one of the most beautiful adaptations of a work by Stephen King.
“It is a film that so often inspired me, I come back regularly. A work that had a deep impact on my heart and my soul when I was young. And it continues. In this meditation on friendship and freedom of mind, interpretation is perfect, especially those of Tim Robbins And Morgan Freeman. I can almost remember each plan of the film. It's dazzling, and it is even more so as I get older “.
