Rian Johnson Reaches for Another Knife (via the New Yorker, which I subscribe to; not sure if it will be accessible to non subscribers)
Of his movies I’ve seen only Looper. But now that I know Knives Out stars Daniel Craig and is a mystery series, I’ll be checking it out.
I opened this because it said he talked about how Agatha Christie was “misunderstood.”
