Fun little film of Bill Murray reading poetry to the builders of Poet's House, a new building in Battery Park, New York. The building houses a library, and invites poets and the public to celebrate writing and the diversity of modern poetry.
I thought it would make a wonderful addition to dots and spaces, to have included this trailer from a film I very much enjoyed, and which holds a special place in my heart. I learnt so much about what moving pictures could do, and with so much style and beauty, suspense, sophistication and poetry, the sort of film that makes you want to make movies. I worry that it's such a classic that it will become a sort of Robert Doisneau poster, so familiar it looses impact. But really, it's vital, alive and bristles with ideas. A template for any film-maker of worth.
