"The film is pricked with references to Dante’s Inferno, though certainly has it’s own narrative which requires no knowledge of the Divine Comedy to understand - think how the Coen Bros. and Homer blended into O Brother Where Art Thou. And whereas the Coens’ film stood on the shoulders of Preston Sturgess, the equivalent influence on St. John would appear likely to be Ozu or Milos Forman."
I had a series of conversations with Brendon Connelly, about Saint John of Las Vegas. We discussed career paths, film grammar, movie financing and the Bellagio Hotel. Read the full interview on /Film here.
