New Your film roots, from your Letterboxd
Pulp Fiction (1994) Quentin Tarantino's films are packed with homages and Pulp Fiction is no exception. Have you seen Kiss Me Deadly or Charley Varrick?
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) Lucas borrowed from The Hidden Fortress. Johnson reached for late Kurosawa, and Kagemusha above all.
The Babadook (2014) Jennifer Kent's The Babadook rekindled our interest in contemporary horror after years of remakes and retreads. Its motifs have been used in films such as Lights Out, His House and Under the Shadow.
The Holdovers (2023) Alexander Payne made a film that reviewers kept dating to the 1970's. The works of Hal Ashby are natural touchstones: Harold and Maude or The Last Detail.
Nope (2022) Everyone left Nope naming a different film. Tremors, Akira, and over and over, Spielberg. This is Peele's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Persona (1966) A recurring motif: two female faces merging. After Bergman, critics trace the dissolve through Mulholland Drive and Queen of Earth.
