Gregory’s Girl
Bill Forsyth
Synopsis
A teenager falls hard for the female soccer player who has replaced him on the team and attempts to pursue her.
Cinematic DNA
My favourite romantic comedies? 'Harold and Maude', 'Modern Romance' and 'Gregory's Girl', I guess. All three were pretty important to me.
I was a big fan of French cinema from the 60s and 70s like Jacques Tati, and also Italian Neorealism. You just pick up things along the way.
