Favourite Movie Friday with director David Michod

The film critic-turned-filmmaker’s debut film Animal Kingdom took out a jury award at Sundance and a tonne of others at the IF Awards in Sydney last month (including best director and best lead actor). He also wrote Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Natalie Portman vehicle Hesher, which is out next year, but most importantly, he shared his favourite movies (or movie rather) with me here:

“It’s so weird, there are so many different movies I really love but the one I think I love most is Apocalypse Now. In part because it works on such a grand scale, but it’s full of such beautiful detail. It was the first time I remember watching a movie and thinking `it would be fun to make that movie. Terrifying, but an adventure. It represents everything I love about films, making them and watching it.”
