Director, screenwriter, budding novelist (if he ever delivers that longform version of ‘Basterds’, actor, pretentious movie critic, and now penpal and “way to go!” encourager of fellow filmmakers who appeared alongside him at this year’s Cannes film festival.

We’ve already well-documented his love for Jane Campion’s “Bright Star” (smart move, it’s one of the years best) and now two separate sources have revealed two different letters he penned: one to Campion about how much he loved her 19th century romance picture and one to Brillante Mendoza the director of the divisive documentative murder-picture “Kinatay” (not a great move, we walked out of this one during Cannes, granted we were tired and it was dull as fuck).
