Alejandro González Iñárritu, Director
|
On Philadelphia: “I’ve seen nothing but a Spanish restaurant that was very nice, very good food, which normally you don’t get in L.A. Then I passed the street where the creator of the flag live. What’s her name? Betsy Ross, yes. My very humble impression is a kind of combination between Boston and New York, like a mix of those cities. I haven’t been able to see those historical things, just this lonely room in this hotel. They showed me where Rocky Balboa ran. This film, Philadelphia, was it shot here? Cheesesteak? What is that, like a baguette? Did you invent it here? Should I try one? I’ll have about two hours tonight to walk after the screening. It’s hard in two hours to get something to say about a city, but at least I’ll have the smell of it, you know?”
Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film Babel will be released in Philadelphia on Nov. 3.
