Pee Wee As Himself Director On Paul Reubens Decision To Come Out In HBO Doc I Was Proud Of Him Sundance Studio

Key quotes: “I think he had decided that he wanted to come out in the documentary, and I wanted to help him do that. And I was proud of him for doing that on his own terms. We’re of different generations —
I’m gay and I’ve made a lot of films about queer history, and I empathize with and really respect generational differences around that. And it was at once a source of connection and tension between Paul and I, but I thought that he did a beautiful job coming out in the film.” – Matt Wolf
On the conflict over the creative direction and collaboration on the documentary: “There was certainly a power struggle between Paul and I, and the relationship was thrilling, and it could also be very contentious, but I empathized with Paul and I understood where he was coming from. .

“Train Dreams,” a lyrical drama about a logger whose work developing America’s railroad keeps him laboring in isolation, has sold to Netflix.

The ‘Emilia Pérez’ backlash, explained

NEW YORK (AP) — Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez” is an Oscar contender unlike any other. It’s a musical, a trans parable, and a Mexico-set melodrama, all combined into one unique amalgamation by an international filmmaking team. l And just as singularly, it’s a best picture front-runner that, it sometimes seems, no one likes. On one hand, “Emilia Pérez” is one of the most celebrated films of the year. It triumphed at the Golden Globes, earned 11 BAFTA nominations and landed 13 Academy Award nominations. Only three movies, ever, have scored more. “He drank up the world like a sponge,” says Rebecca Moore, Buckley’s first girlfriend in New York and entree to the East Village art scene in the 1990s, says in the film.
