1. What’s your favorite day & time to go to the movies?

Midnight screening, always. Geoffrey G. O’Brien said you should read the tabloids first when you wake up, because they’re the closest thing to dreams. And I love leaving the theater when the streets and the whole city are empty, and going home to sleep. If it’s something already out of time, like Cocteau’s Beauty and the Beast, it feels like a prelude to a dream.

2. What’s your favorite movie theater?

In the very back of my father’s office was a small screening room. We would spend the summers there. It seemed so big at the time, but now, when I go back, I see it is just a little room.
