Rian JohnsonAdventures in Moviegoing
The director of inventive indie hits like LOOPER and BRICK, Rian Johnson brought his unique sensibility to the multiplex with the 2017 blockbuster STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI. A passionate cinephile, he sat down with Alicia Malone to present a lineup of favorites that unsurprisingly reflect his fascination with dark science fiction and troubled psychological undercurrents. From a time-traveling short by Chris Marker to a dystopian epic by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, his selections display the same intelligent, inventive approach to genre that he brings to his own work.
