Film Updates(@FilmUpdates):Christopher Nolan says ‘OBSESSION’ and ‘BACKROOMS’ are evidence that cinema is on the right track: “We’ve got all these great new young voices in movies, making the medium their own and moving it forward. This is why I never bought into the arguments that young audiences’ attention spans are too fried to enjoy a three-hour Greek epic. Those films are so mysterious and ruminative. I mean, parts of ‘Backrooms’ are like David Lynch at his most obscure. And yet young people can’t get enough of them.” 🔗
