Legendary screenwriter (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull) and director (American Gigilo, Affliction, Auto Focus) PAUL SCHRADER spoke to the internet radio show Movie Geeks United! about why he believes the motion picture medium as we know it is dead. He also shared insights into his latest film ‘Adam Resurrected’, directing a drunken George C. Scott, working with Criterion on a remastered ‘Mishima’, and why he believes ‘The Big Lebowski’ is one of the top fifty films of all time.
