[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

Got to speak to some of my favourite living directors for this. Then wrote 5,000 words on it.

[Sight and Sound magazine @SightSoundmag]

Twenty years after the release of the world's first digitally-shot blockbuster, @sjwigley speaks to David Lynch, @Miranda_July, Michael Mann, Jia Zhangke, and many more about the digital revolution

My interview with David Lynch from the summer is now online. For what it's worth, it never said he was retiring. It actually says the exact opposite! https://t.co/psis9ijIio

From Fairbanks to Furiosa... we did a year by year list of action movies over the last century - 101 golden greats! https://t.co/cjr6LYMI0M

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

@Geoff_Andrew Thanks Geoff. Yes I imagine that reception was very hard for him, so not surprised to hear he was tricky that time!

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

In some kind of dream place to have a cover feature with David Lynch out today 🎬

[Mike Williams ✊ @itsmikelike]

It is happening again

The first issue of @SightSoundmag I bought was the 1997 David Lynch issue, so it’s a thrill to put him on the cover for the first time as editor

In a brilliant interview he talks candidly to @sjwigley about whether he’s made his last film 👀

Out next week

“Different movies, but the same worried mind.”

Claire Denis talks with Samuel Wigley (@sjwigley) about CHOCOLAT (1988) and Cameroon, movies at home and in theaters, Apichatpong and Godard … @BFI — https://t.co/jucYvMRQCP

[Matt Thrift @Matt_Thrift]

Had a long, wonderful lunch with Roger Corman back in 2013. For one reason or another the full interview went unpublished. Big thanks to @sjwigley for giving it a home.

Some words I put together about the late, great Georgian filmmaker, Otar Iosseliani. https://t.co/Rtj4TSAv16

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

Maybe not, but this is a gorgeous tribute.

[Reverse Shot @reverse_shot]

When @SightSoundmag asked me last week to pen an obituary for Terence Davies, I was decimated. I also knew nothing I wrote in the space allotted could do justice to the films or to the human being. It was an honor to have lived with his cinema.

[Lou Thomas @London_Lou]

Had fun chatting to Tim Burton about Beetlejuice 2, Batman, Wednesday, and why he’s gutted about not making Superman Lives with Nicolas Cage. My interview for @BFI is now live. https://t.co/L2XMI6B0NT

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

@david_morrison Yes!! Glad you liked it. The Suicide bit tipped it into adoration territory for me.

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

Reviewed my favourite film of last year - screening on @mubiuk from tomorrow.

[Sight and Sound magazine @SightSoundmag]

Filmed over the course of a year, The Plains puts viewers in the backseat of a car for almost three hours, capturing the cyclical work-to-home commute of an Australian legal worker in long, unbroken takes. @sjwigley reviews https://t.co/McKP8aiaBu

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

@albaztks @ThisisWalter89 I haven't, because I think there are loads who haven't.

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

@rafiews For older Hindi cinema, Pyaasa (1957) and Pakeezah (1972) are essential.

[Josephine Botting @ReelJoBotting]

I've written a piece about the making of The Draughtsman's Contract, using images and documents from the #BFINationalArchive.

@thomasflew It’s all about the top 500 for me.

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

@Tativille_MJA @SightSoundmag Ah, trick question if it wasn’t around in 2012! Agree on Portrait

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

@whateverren That late run is astonishing

[Samuel Wigley @sjwigley]

My vote for the Sight and Sound poll. All change from 2012.
