One of the great humanist directors of all time, Alexander Payne, discusses his approach to ‘Election 2’ (based on the book ‘Tracy Flick Can’t Win’), what he believes are the best classic western movies of all time, what makes a classic movie, and what the classic movie period is. As a frequent and committed host of Turner Classic Movies, Alexander Payne tells MovieWeb host George Edelman what makes movies like ‘The Searchers’ and ‘Ride The High Country’ such effective pieces of cinematic art.
