Wilder Interview

I found the Wilder Interview very interesting, because it gave us some funny and useful backstory on some films we saw, for example Some like it Hot or Double Indemnity. One the one hand I thought that it very much illustrated the auteur theory, because the interview showed that Wilder had a vision, certain concepts that he wanted to convey etc. On the other hand, it showed just how much film is a piece of art that is shaped by many different people, and often just chance. I liked, for example, the way he described which light he chose for Marlene Dietrich, and how it was not different from any other lighting, but that she just "lit herself".
