John Turturro’s Adventures in Moviegoing
A virtuoso actor who brings an unpredictable edge to his always memorable performances for frequent collaborators like the Coen brothers and Spike Lee, John Turturro is also a fervent cinephile who became enamored with the golden-age Hollywood stars whose films he watched religiously on television while growing up in Queens. In this edition of Adventures In Moviegoing, he sits down with Criterion Collection curatorial director Ashley Clark to discuss a selection of the films that have marked his life, including those built around commanding, physical performances from favorite actors like Burt Lancaster ( Brute Force ), Marlon Brando ( On the Waterfront ), and Toshiro Mifune ( Seven Samurai ).
