South African filmmaker Michael Matthews says he is honoured that Beyoncé recognised his film as one of the inspirations for her new highly acclaimed country album, Cowboy Carter. | |
Last week, the US singer revealed that each track on the album drew inspiration from a different Western film, and that she often screened the films in the background while recording. | |
One of the films she named was Five Fingers For Marseilles, a 2017 contemporary Western directed by Matthews, and South Africa's first Western film. | |
“It’s a huge honour to have made a mark on an artist as bold and innovative as Beyoncé,” Matthews told South African newspaper The Sowetan. | |
"And to be included among filmmaking royalty like [Quentin] Tarantino and [Martin] Scorsese," he continued, referencing Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and Scorcese's Oscar-winning Killers of the Flower Moon, which Beyoncé also cited among the influences for Cowboy Carter. | |
Matthews added that it was significant for Beyoncé to acknowledge a South African movie. | |
“The hope is that it leads to more eyes on the film around the world and on our incredible local films and filmmakers across the board.” | |
