The horses are out of the barn (as in MARLOWE has been in--and out--of American movie theaters), so I'm thinking that this interview was probably conducted when the film played at San Sebastian last fall...

Sample quote: "Look, to be honest, I didn’t want to simply revisit, I don’t want to make a movie in the style of Howard Hawks because I don’t approximate to any aesthetic style that these movies had, whether by design or by accident. Everybody uses the term noir, you know, but this is a film in color, isn’t it? And I wanted to make it kind of drenched in vibrant color."
