James Toback, director of the 1978 cult classic, "Fingers," interviews French director Jacques Audiard who recently remade the film as “The Beat That My Heart Skipped” for the LA Weekly. In the process, Toback sheds all pretense of humility and modesty asking few questions, preferring to name drop instead. ("...when Premiere magazine asked Brett Ratner, who made Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2, to pick his three favorite movies of all time on DVD, he picked Jaws, The Godfather and Fingers.") Hmm...Ratner, really? It is not surprising then, that midway through the interview Audiard, perhaps tired of being a non-particpant, turns the tables on Toback and takes on the role of interviewer.
