Thief Atlas note
I was very inspired by European directors like Jean-Luc Godard, Robert Bresson, Yasujiro Ozu, and Wim Wenders. His early films, like 'The American Friend' and 'Kings of the Road', really opened my eyes to different ways of telling stories and capturing atmosphere. I loved the melancholic tone and the way he observed characters.

We were looking at films like 'Point Blank', 'Thief', and also some European noirs like 'Le Samouraï' and Wenders' 'The American Friend' for the pacing and the sense of urban isolation.
