Juliette Binoche, Mark Mothersbaugh, & Composing a Spookier Haunted House
At the height of her fame, Juliette Binoche turned down roles in blockbusters to do European art-house films. So why did she decide to do Godzilla this year? Kurt Andersen also talks to Mark Mothersbaugh, a founding member of Devo and in-demand film composer, who now has a major retrospective of his visual art. And we’ll meet another composer, whose music turns garden-variety haunted houses into something much scarier.
