With his recent release OLD, M. Night Shyamalan’s films are back at the forefront of cinephile conversations. With those conversations came a question posed to Shyamalan during an interview with GQ and his answer will shock you.
GQ Magazine, posed the question ” What is his favorite film his directed” and Shyamalan answered by saying,
“The ones I have the most affinity for are the ones that have maintained that quirky nature. Unbreakable, and Lady in the Water, and The Visit, and this movie [Old]…the ones that are poky.”
I am quite surprised that one of the films that began Shyamalans downturn would be one of his favorites.
Shyamalan explains that
“the quirkiness of Lady in the Water appeals to him more than the more composed polish of The Sixth Sense. ”
“GQ Magazine” concludes by saying “a film like Lady in the Water does convey the weirdness, the poky appeal of Shyamalan himself.”
