With her impressive debut as a film director and screenwriter, The Lost Daughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal immediately establishes herself as an accomplished and original filmmaker. Beyond her enormous skill as a writer (she earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay) and director of actors (with Oscar-nominated performances by Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley), Gyllenhaal creates a multi-layered work of art through her expressive visual style and work with sound. For this series, Gyllenhaal selected some of the great movies that influenced her as she created The Lost Daughter.
