At the drive in, photo by Stu Sherman. This photo has everything: stars and the light of the projection house.

I interviewed photographer Gregory Crewdson for The Paris Review Daily, where we talked about the movies (Lynch, Hitchcock, Malick), the pursuit of things that are perfect, digital versus film, and Mad Men, of course.

He’s a photographer whose stuff I’ve always wanted to see in person, and it was spooky and engimatic. I do find that his photography stimulates the mind, has you wondering, what is this scene, where’s the context, what’s going on? It’s a nice exercise. My favorite photos of his are downright mystical.
