Jonathan Demme: Good Things Happen Almost All The Time (2006)

Director Jonathan Demme talks about his career from its beginnings as a publicist assigned to Roger Corman, how "Stop Making Sense" (1984) preserved his sanity, why he made the multi Academy Award winning thriller "The Silence of the Lambs" (1991), the aspirations behind "Philadelphia" (1993), working with actors, his love of music and turning to documentaries

I still think about Jonathan Demme every now and then and think of the impact he had on cinema and the unique voice he had. Such a shame when he passed away.

This is a wonderful collection of insights from a great filmmaker. Humble, sincere, brilliant.

Thank you. A genius. Notice how he carefully avoids using the word 'no' when he absolutely means no. That's how you collaborate successfuly, for him at least. In my experience there's always someone who definitely needs a slap. I'm half Italian 🙂
