Nathalie Emmanuel shares film picks from Criterion Closet reflecting her heritage and passion

Nathalie Emmanuel, star of "Megalopolis," prepared a strategy before visiting the Criterion Closet to avoid feeling overwhelmed by the extensive film collection. She selected notable films, including "The Red Shoes" and Steve McQueen's "Small Axe" series. Emmanuel chose "The Red Shoes" for its connection to her ballet background and its themes of passion and obsession. She also highlighted the significance of "Small Axe," which tells stories of the Caribbean community in the UK, reflecting her own heritage. Her final picks included "Love & Basketball" and the romantic dramedy "The Worst Person in the World," which she praised for its portrayal of a woman's agency and the courage to make personal choices.
