"I've always felt that all my work could be titled The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter," Ira Sachs says, a comment that anyone familiar with the 48-year-old filmmaker might consider an understatement.

Eric Lavallee: Name me three of your favorite “2013 discoveries”…
Joaquin: 1. My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgaard – earlier this year I read this memoir/novel by the Norwegian author Knausgaard. It’s about a man’s life and memory – his youth and teenage years in rural Norway, and the return to his childhood home to attend the funeral of his alcoholic father. It’s a brilliant combination of the profound and the mundane. Really beautiful.
2. Lucrecia Martel - I saw the filmmaker Lucrecia Martel (The Headless Woman, The Holy Girl, La CIÉNAGA) speak at the Berlinale. She is one of the most articulate filmmakers I’ve heard discuss the process. One of my favorite filmmakers and a brilliant stylist.
3. Bullet Trains. I took the Ave train from Córdoba to Madrid in Spain this year, and the high speed train from Shanghai to Yuhang in China. The speed and ease of transportation is amazing.
