The Green Knight director David Lowery loves THE FIRST OMEN, DEAD MAN and freaky Freddy Krueger

One of Alexei’s absolute favourite contemporary filmmakers David Lowery jumps into the Last Video Store to pick up a stack of his favourite films. David’s feature films include Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, the live-action adaptation of Pete’s Dragon, A Ghost Story, The Old Man & the Gun starring Robert Redford and Sissy Spacek; and the Dev Patel–led fantasy epic The Green Knight.
We talk about some of his first memories of films before even seeing them, the surrealist horror of Freddy Krueger, horror cinema, the genre-bending of Jim Jarmusch, the modern fables of Aki Kaurismäki and Indigenous ghost story anthology.
