    Elvis hosts writer-director

    James Gray (

    The Yards, We Own the Night, Little Odessa ) whose latest film is

    Two Lovers

    , starring Joaquin Phoenix, Gwyneth Paltrow and Isabella Rossellini.

    James talks about protagonist Joaquin Phoenix, the influence of 1950's Italian cinema, basing the film's setting (a claustrophobic apartment in New York) on his own early life experiences, and the danger of ambition in his movies.
