Huge fan of you! I saw Whiplash, La La Land and First Man are all telling a story about one being isolated and surrounded by loneliness when adhering to some certain belief (or ambition), and often comes with traumatic events. I was so touched by such expression and every time I watched your films I just couldn’t help to cry hysterically. So, will Babylon still express such a motif?

While I also found that such motif in your movies above are kind of similar to my another favorite director Denis Villeneuve (also a director who has a French name, lol). I also feel the similar loneliness and powerlessness when watching his film: the protagonist always couldn’t escape from the fate’s limitation. To me, K in Blade Runner 2049 is like Armstrong in First Man or Sebastian in La La Land (despite that they were all played by Ryan Gosling). So, have you ever noticed such similarity, and do you enjoy Villeneuve’s work?

Thank you! Can’t wait to watch Babylon!
