Matt Dillon Drops Into “Closet Picks” With Cinephile Fire Matt Dillon—seminal actor, director, and one-of-one icon—dropped by the underground web series Closet Picks, where artists reveal their most formative film inspirations. In the newest episode, Dillon lets it all spill, from global cinema obsessions to personal reflections, leaving no shelf untouched.
Among his selects:
- TOUKI BOUKI – Djibril Diop Mambéty’s surreal Senegalese road movie.
- MEMORIES OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT – Tomás Gutiérrez Alea’s Cuban classic of post-revolution introspection.
- ACCATTONE – Pier Paolo Pasolini’s raw debut about Rome’s underclass.
He also shouts out his recent collaborator Claire Denis, whose elliptical storytelling and emotional precision clearly resonate with Dillon’s own directorial instincts. And in a full-circle moment, he discovers his own work tucked among the Criterion shelves—proof that the love goes both ways.
