there's an article abt rappaport's death and also an excerpt from a book about handmade films (studio that did time bandits) and i read them when i was first reading about his work and both of them give the impression (unintentional or not) that he was rude/distanced from his costars in bandits bc he didnt want to be treated "like a dwarf actor" and having learned more about his work and his life i dont think thats a fair assessment
