Thelma Schoonmaker

That is the one that has never gotten recognition. But I can't tell you how many people talk to me about that movie. There is a ripple that's going on. Bertrand Tavernier, the really wonderful French director, just wrote a review of it again. I have friends, when they have friends over for dinner, they make them watch it. It never got its due because it's about compassion. That's why. Everybody hated Casino (1995). They would say, 'It's not Les affranchis (1990). That's right. It's not. It's Las Vegas. It's not Les affranchis (1990). And now everybody loves Casino (1995). Now it's a big cult film. Raging Bull (1980) was a disaster and wasn't recognized for 10 years. La valse des pantins (1982) was a disaster, now everybody loves La valse des pantins (1982). This happened to so many of [Martin Scorsese] our films. But the one that's never, ever come back is À tombeau ouvert (1999).
