Chainsaws & Drumsticks: Interview with the Quinzaine’s Edouard Waintrop

What first caught my attention when Edouard Waintrop announced the make-up of the 46th edition of the Directors’ Fortnight (also known as La Quinzaine) was the inclusion of Sundance titles and the noticeable support of the horror genre. Now in his 3rd year, I had a quick chat with the Artistic Director on his inclusion of Park City items’ Jim Mickle’s Cold in July and Damien Chazalle’s Whiplash and blood soaked items Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Fabrice Du Welz’s Alleluia.
