Park Chan-wook Confesses ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ Made Him Cry

Over the weekend, the second annual Academy Museum Gala had a special screening of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”

The Daniels, Michelle Yeoh and the rest of the cast have been campaigning hard for the film this awards season. They’ve been the toast of the town. It is a hit with the younger branch of academy voters. The older ones, at least the ones I’ve spoken to, aren’t as enthused by this batshit crazy movie.

One attendee at the screening was filmmaker Park Chan-wook who confessed that EEAO was the “wildest and weirdest“ movie he’s ever seen and that it actually made him cry. Park has also been stomping hard on the awards circuit for his recently-released “Decision to Leave.”

Matt Neglia had reported last week that at an Academy members screening, the film played like gangbusters with voters in attendance.
