I love Being There, it’s one of my favorite movies — with Peter Sellers, who I thought was brilliant. I love how underplayed but so incredibly funny it was, you know… dry.

Even the films like Being There or Network, or films with the insane characters who become super popular in the American public eye. Or Face in the Crowd, like, that’s happening right now in your politics. Right now. Life goes beyond often in terms of ridiculous situations coming through.

It’s funny, because the period of time that the film is set in had this weird dichotomy where some of the greatest films ever, like Being There [1979], were being made right in tandem with some of the cheesiest sci-fi B-movie knockoffs. I watched all of those movies.

I love this movie so much, Peter Sellers.

Peter Sellers's performance is of course amazing, but can we just talk about how amazing the script is?

"One of the greatest films ever made. The poster is based on a Magritte painting. Peter Sellers is the star. It’s hysterical and so beautiful. The best movie there is about a naive."
