A chronicler of contemporary loneliness dressed in the language of romantic comedy. His films are about the space between what we say and what we feel — fractured desires documented with Nordic restraint and sudden, devastating tenderness.

I've always been a huge admirer of Antonioni, and L'Eclisse in particular. The way he captures the emptiness and the unspoken emotions, it's something I strive for.
