Charlie Day's Criterion Closet Picks

May 9, 2023

With his feature directorial debut Fool's Paradise premiering in theaters this weekend, writer-director-actor Charlie Day visited Criterion for a trip inside our films closet, where he shares the connection between It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and François Truffaut, the inspiration of Hal Ashby's Being There, the importance of Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing, and his excitement to explore the work Agnès Varda.
