Guest programmer Julie Taymor—renowned for her Broadway-conquering production of “The Lion King” and films like FRIDA, TITUS, and ACROSS THE UNIVERSE—sat down with critic Michael Sragow to talk about the movies that have shaped her as an artist. In a wide-ranging discussion that touches on her formative years in Paris and Indonesia, Taymor reveals the differences between working in theater and film, her love of black-and-white cinematography, and why she prefers Fellini to Bergman. The films she has selected span countries and styles, but all demonstrate a fascination with theatricality, artifice, and performance that informs her unique way of seeing the world.
