Accompanying Metrograph’s run of American writer-director India Donaldson’s lauded debut Good One, the filmmaker selects two films to share that influenced her anxious, haunting first feature: Claire Denis’s 35 Shots of Rum and Julia Loktev’s The Loneliest Planet.
“Two films I soaked in and tried to extract some wisdom from before filming Good One. They are both gentle and patient, and have their own unique internal rhythms. They revel in subtlety and elevate the minutiae of small gestures and glances. I feel the affection the filmmakers have for their actors, and I share it.” —India Donaldson
