Allison Anders

“Wow, this assignment kicked my ass in a glorious way!” said Anders. “As with everyone before me, picking just ten Criterion classics is too daunting; so you have to find a system that allows you to play a favorite game, all the while knowing there are others you have left out that you love as much but maybe have less original things to say about.” Allison Anders co-directed Border Radio and has also directed five other feature films, including Gas Food Lodging, Mi vida loca, and Grace of My Heart.
