fun, about
Raising Arizona:
Bilge's cinephilia origin: after seeing Raising Arizona, he read a Film Comment essay, watched the family VHS of The Conformist six or seven times in a week, then went to Italian cinema and Bertolucci.
“And I become obsessed with the conformist, which then leads to Italian cinema, Berlucci.”
