3. Ingmar Berman on Orson Welles:
>“For me he’s just a hoax. It’s empty. It’s not interesting. It’s dead. Citizen Kane, which I have a copy of — is all the critics’ darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it’s a total bore. Above all, the performances are worthless. The amount of respect that movie’s got is absolutely unbelievable.”
4. Ingmar Bergman on Jean-Luc Godard:
>“I’ve never gotten anything out of his movies. They have felt constructed, faux intellectual, and completely dead. Cinematographically uninteresting and infinitely boring. Godard is a fricking bore. He’s made his films for the critics. One of the movies, Masculin, Féminin, was shot here in Sweden. It was mind-numbingly boring.”
5. Orson Welles on Jean-Luc Godard:
>“His gifts as a director are enormous. I just can’t take him very seriously as a thinker — and that’s where we seem to differ, because he does. His message is what he cares about these days, and, like most movie messages, it could be written on the head of a pin.”

Orson Welles was savage to virtually everyone. It's why he had to do commercials and cartoons, he needed to finance his films himself because even in the instances where he need to come to a lunch humble and just say empty platitudes to some israelite producer to get financing he'd instead end up insulting them.

iirc this was after Lee complained that Eastwood didn't include black soldiers in his film about the flag being raised on Okinawa. What Lee didn't realise was that units were segregated during WW2 and a black unit was present elsewhere during Okinawa.
then spike made his ww2 movie with black soldiers in it.
and it was one of the worst movies i have ever seen. my lord what a talentless hack he is.
Inside Man and Do the Right Thing are his best films. Do the Right Thing is the most relatively nuanced film on race he's done, anyway. The Black folk are still objectively in the wrong. It's his private place of business and they fricking destroy the only pizza place left in their neighborhood in a "DAS RIGHT" moment. They literally ruin one of the only good things about their neighborhood and drive them out due to racial hatred and entitlement. DTRT is unintentionally redpilled on how blacks ruin their own neighborhoods and refuse to recognize it, now that I think about it. I'm sure Lee doesn't see it that way though.

He isn't that bad but most of the critiques he applies to other filmmakers, if you read them in full, are present in his films. He was quite conventional as you rightly pointed out.

>>“I have no idea who Abel Ferrara is. But let him fight the windmills… I’ve never seen a film by him. I have no idea who he is. Is he Italian? Is he French? Who is he?”
I like Werner but I doubt this considering he made a film with the same title 17 years after.
That's actually a true story, the producers/studio made his film have the name Bad Lieutenant tacked on and Ferrara raised a stink about it to him. That was Herzog's response to him.
>At a press conference at the Venice Film Festival after the film's premiere, Herzog said of Ferrara, "I would like to meet the man," and "I have a feeling that if we met and talked -- over a bottle of whisky, I should add -- I think we could straighten everything out."
Huh. Fair enough. Still surprises me because Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant seems like a movie Werner would appreciate.
According to Ferrara they did meet up for drinks eventually and actually got along quite well.
I'd love to hear a conversation between the two considering ferrera is a buddhist/catholic and Herzog is a full on void nihilist
i'd be surprised if herzog can understand ferrara, ya dig?

>He then asked me why I didn't stay at home by my husband's side, as it would befit any decent woman. I attacked him and said: "In your films the woman has no momentum, being just a satellite of the man. She has no right to exist for herself as a human being, but merely by virtue of her love for the man." Then Tarkovsky started exclaiming his radical, patriarchal ideas, telling me that a woman has no personal inner world and shouldn't have one either, and that her inner state of being should dissolve entirely in that of a man.
>telling me he didn't want anything to do with journalists and that journalism itself would soon be a publicly loathed profession

>For Pialat the provincial artist, the New Wave directors were pebreasts bourgeois, Parisian rich kids making insubstantial films about their little problems, while neglecting the legacy of those they trumpeted (notably Renoir) and pompously rejecting some (like Marcel Carné) whose talents were more formidable than theirs. In Pialat’s eyes, Godard was proud to be better known for what he said than what he did; Malle was a straight-up incompetent; Truffaut (who kick-started Pialat’s career, a moral debt Pialat resented) was fortunate to be making one a year, as his films were so ordinary. His loudest public ire was reserved for Jacques Rivette, whom Pialat considered a monumentally self-important blowhard, whose quest for some sort of verifiable legacy in the face of Godard’s and Truffaut’s success was accomplished by making aggressively boring films.
Pialat was absolutely right.

Barry Lyndon is Kubrick's best, I don't think he ever made anything close. Maybe 2001.
For me, it's Paths of Glory. Probably because it matches with my worldview. But seeing 2001 in the theatre is truly a magical thing.
>it matches with my worldview
War bad?
Wrong. Barry Lyndon isn't even in the top 5 and is behind The Shining, 2001, Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove and A Clockwork Orange. Hell, I prefer The Killing and Eyes Wide Shut over Barry Lyndon.
Because you're a redditor and a pleb. Shining is shit.
>Massive Kubrickgay
People like you shouldn't be taken seriously. Worshipping Kubrick is a mental illness.
2001 is a masterpiece. i havent seen paths of glory and barry lyndon. his movies kinda feel "flat" , i havent felt a second of tension in any of them
>flat
Because he is is autistic about his camerawork which is more reserved. Works for Barry and 2001 quite well.
Barry Lyndon is a boring movie, bro.
Barry Lyndon is a beautiful movie, troony
You watched it wrong. What a shame lol
As a MASSIVE Kubrickgay, this I disagree with. Barry Lyndon is definitely his most underrated and overlooked film, but it's not his best. His top 3 in no particular order are 2001, Dr. Strangelove and Paths of Glory, with The Shining and A Clockwork Orange fighting for 4th and 5th.
Barry Lyndon is amazing
Lurk more you fricking moron. Learn how to post

If anything, Barry Lyndon is Kubrick's most UNDERRATED film.
Satan has spoken, what can you say about BL that you think others ignore?
I don't know what others say. I rarely hear it mentioned at all except for "muh natural lighting", and although the movie is very beautiful i just find it perfectly executed from a narrative standpoint. It's just excellent.
It's a film. I don't think everyone can appreciate that it's a film from start to finish or that the craft adds to it. It's like a beer that tastes like a beer and that's all you can say about it. It's good by the total absence of any meaningful commentary or critique one can apply to it.
somone post Oliver Stone on Tarantino
Why do you guys always post the same quotes for years on end? Any more recent directors shitting on other recent directors?
It's bad form in the age of social media. Most of these were before the studios all merged and independent productions were what they said on the can. You could talk a lot more shit. There's also the tendency for artists to not engage with their contemporaries after a certain point.
Vincent Gallo's article he wrote for some magazine is one long brutal insult to Harmony Korine without ever mentioning his name.
https://www.anothermanmag.com/life-culture/10236/an-open-letter-from-vincent-gallo-unfiltered-and-unedited
What I gathered skimming through 3 or so paragraphs was that Gallo is the cool kind of autist and he didn't get what Korine was doing because the more similar two spergy weirdos are, the larger their schism over minor differences, much like cults and other sectarian churches, but was right about everything else.
I don't get it, where does Korine fit into this? The Chloe part? It seems like his usual self-deprecating / narcissistic diatribe
The opinions of Kevin Smith, Harmony Korine and Vincent Gallo on filmmaking and filmmakers do not count. Uwe Boll's opinion is more valuable, to be honest
Smith used to be a good director and a very good storyteller. He's living proof that weed does fry your brain with time. I am absolutely convinced it's the drugs that wiped away the person he used to be.
Nah, he only had a couple good films in him and went through the usual decline.

>**Have you seen any good, contemporary movies recently?**
When I make films I stop seeing things, because I don’t want to be influenced. So afterwards I saw these big Hollywood films, “Avatar” and “Inception.” “Avatar” I like the special effects, of course, and all the prospects, but I wish that James Cameron had invested more in the script and story the same way he did with the computer graphics. The concept is beautiful, the idea of this parallel consciousness, but it’s not pushed enough. “Inception” is tricky. I like it, it made me feel that I was watching a movie, and at one point it was very magical, but somehow it is too logical. I don’t know what to think.
**Right. Many people have said that there’s too much dialogue, that explains a lot when it doesn’t have to. But… there’s also people who couldn’t follow it at all.**
Come on! (laughs) That’s the tricky part with Hollywood films, you have to explain, you have to make it clear for the universal world. To the aliens, also, when they see the movie. (laughs) So it has to be super clear.
That's a pretty based take
as expected from goatjoe
Albert Serra
On British cinema
>I hate all British cinema. There are no British filmmakers I like, none at all. I hate Michael Powell, especially Peeping Tom; it’s one of the most horrible films I’ve ever seen. Derek Jarman is very bad, but there are some small, crazy things in there I like. The worst is McQueen: he is the devil, an absolute devil, because he is making people believe he is making artistic films, and it’s bullshit. But film criticism, film taste here in the UK, it’s not really respectable. It’s like being in a province. It’s a small cinema for me.
On Spanish cinema
>I am the best one. I hate Erice. Those are films for children. And I don’t like films with children in them, like Spirit of the Beehive. Saura has a few good films, Bardem too; Berlanga is more folkloric. There are a few in the past. Buñuel is the greatest figure; for me this is the true spirit. All the others are just filmmakers.
On American cinema
>I like American cinema of the past, but it’s the same problem as with independent cinema today: I hate it all.
Other quotes
>"You are going to see cinema for the first time" (at the presentation of his film Liberté).
>"It is better for the good of humanity that people see my films instead of any Hollywood or Spanish cinema rubbish. Not for my sake, but for the sake of humanity".
>"I'm the only one who makes good auteur films in Spain. And I would say I'm the only honest one. Because there can be honest and bad filmmakers, but honest and good is more complicated".
Lol, this dude. Him, Carax, Trier and Costa have the funniest interviews from contemporary arthouse directors because they so obviously don't give a frick.

Fricking kek
An honest filmmaker
I'm the most pretentious person on Cinemaphile and even I think Serra is a full of shit hack who hasn't made a single film worth watching.
>I'm the most pretentious person on Cinemaphile
>I think Serra is a full of shit hack who hasn't made a single film worth watching.
Checks out.
Yes, he is actually good.
He was great in Superbad
On other things, inculding Scorsese
> I go for the works that make us better and consequently make humanity better. Let’s see, which film generates more good, a Godard or a Spielberg? Do you end up a better person watching a film by Straub or by Scorsese? I don’t understand why do we have to be so pleasant with the commercial films that have such a wicked influence. Olivier Père, who is now director of the cinema section of the Arte chain, recently said to me that after watching The wolf of Wall Street, he reflected that, at about the same age Scorsese was now, Bergman had directed Fanny and Alexander. Who has contributed more to humanity? It is deplorable that, at his age, Scorsese makes such rubbish that causes so much harm. It’s about time he produced something worthy.
>"It is not unlikely that years from now it will be acknowledged that I am more important than Scorsese, Coppola and Spielberg in the history of cinema".
On Disney
>I think Disney is proposing a stupid content. Indiana Jones' is stupid, and so is 'Star Wars'. It's children's stuff. For children. An adult person who likes it would be better off going to the doctor.
>If you're an adult and you like Star Wars, go to the doctor. I would never in my life watch a movie with flying people and swords, and I can't respect who's interested in that.
completely on the money about scorsese. he was making kino and had his fingers on the pulse of culture/society with something like taxi driver and raging bull. everything afterwards is just mere mass appeal popcorn entertainment. goodfellas is very entertaining and well executed but there's no depth to it at all.
any ten minutes from raging bull is greater than literally all of Nolan's catalogue
Where does he mention Nolan?
I thought it was Chris Nolan on the picture
Nolan is too much of a pussy to make statements like this.
I think he's talking about his 90s movies and beyond. Not Ragging Bull, King of Comedy, Mean Streets etc.
>>I think Disney is proposing a stupid content. Indiana Jones' is stupid, and so is 'Star Wars'. It's children's stuff. For children. An adult person who likes it would be better off going to the doctor.

Cinemaphile btfo
On Spanish cinema, his own cinema and actors (he hates actors)
>"I saw that in Spanish cinema everyone was useless, and I thought "Here I can stand out".
>"In Spanish cinema they don't know anything, they don't have a clue and they do it badly. And history proved me right, because leaving Almodóvar aside, I have almost surpassed them all. And in auteur cinema, all of them without exception".
>"I'm the best editor in the world, unquestionably. I'm one of the five best actors' directors in the world. A normal producer. And a good scriptwriter. In Spain there is no other like that, and in the world there are only twenty more".
>"I am the most underground and authentic person in Spanish cinema, and the most vivid example that originality is still possible".
>"One of the five best films of 2018 seems to me to be Roi Soleil (film directed by Serra).
>"One small ideological thing is that I don't like actors because they are buttholes, in general. I would say 90, 95 or 100 percent in Spain. But apart from that, it's not even ideological any more. It's a scientific observation".
>"Actors should be expelled from the Academy and sent to Guantanamo".
>"If you are so bothered by the films I make, you can give me the money it will cost to produce my next film, and I promise not to make it.
>"In my last film, I fired my main character five minutes into the first day of shooting because I disliked her".
he's right about actors
love vincent gallo lmao
Antonioni is the goat. Unironically.
im thinking truffaut said that when la aventura came out and everybody but Pauline kael thought is was shit
Everybody thought it was shit for 5 minutes, the next day the filmmakers and numerous critics drafted a list calling it the best film in Cannes, later it was awarded jury prize there. Antonioni was too ahead, for his own good I guess. Kael later rallied against these Euro filmmakers like Resnais, Antonioni and Fellini. She had terrible taste. Probably the most overrated critic I know.
Why are directors such whiny b***hes?
>Vincent Gallo
A director most known for having his girlfriend perform a blow job on him on screen offers critiques of actual successful and talented directors
>“Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung-fu film.”
LMAO
based Godard is a fricking twat
Why?
his overall style is great
his radical brechtian bullshit where he purposely tries to frick with and annoy the audience is trash
watching week-end and la chinoise is like pulling teeth and his films afterwards are even worse
Filtered
Back to Marvel for you
Not really, lot of his films are funny. I don't underatand why people claim his films are annoying.
Does anyone have that conversation between Armond White and Werner Herzog?
Herzog saying intellectual counterfeit is funny to me. There is nothing intellectual about Herzog.
>ZE SCIENCE TELLS US DAT YOOO CANNOT GO FASTA THEN THE SPEED OF LIGHT, SO I AM 100% POSITIVE THERE ARE NO ALIENS OR UFOs VISITING US
holy shit I read it in his voice it's funney
Gallo truly is based. Wonder if he's still selling his sperm on his website.
All you gatekeepers are wasting your lives. People were b***hing about film being dead a hundred years ago. Imagine calling Godard and Orson Welles anti art
ingmar bergman is completely right, godard and welles are homosexuals
i should rewatch the seventh seal
I kind of want to be an auteur and make a picture. How would one go about doing that?
turn on camera
take out wiener
point camera at wiener
>every time you see something kino write it down
>come back with a camera and shoot scenes in no order
>make up a story and shoot more scenes to make everything fit
simple as
Inland Empire proved this method can produce kino.
will use this method to shoot my upcoming unironic kino, ty
anytime
Now Vincent Gallo works with The Daily Wire lol

Spike Lee and Kevin Smith made two or three good films and the rest are trash. Considering both are insufferable liberal c**ts, that makes them decidedly unbased, although I do agree with Lee on his analysis of Tarantino. Magnolia is a much better film than anything Smith has ever made, and it's not even PTA's best film.
>6. Werner Herzog on Jean-Luc Godard:
>>“Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung-fu film.”
Holy based
32. Tarkovsky on Ken Kwapis/Dunston Checks In
>>It's a film that fails to stand on the convictions of its own premise. Kwapis has the opportunity to make a statement about modern monke in the trappings of a five star hotel, but he throws it away for boorish slapstick. I find it really reprehensible he dodges the implicit question, just what is Dunston checking into?
KEK
guys like vincent gallo and albert serra shouldn't speak about other's people works when they are only recognized for 1 thing only but successful director of today's age don't spend time throwing shade like oldies in the past
Serra made several acclaimed films.
>successful director
Define success, if you mean being a hack like Nolan or Tarantino then I'm pretty sure they don't strive to do that.
Gallo - does what he wants, has money from real estate, did 2 films, acts in films from famous auteurs
Serra - does art exhibitions, did theater play, just spend like month fricking around on Tahiti and made a film, will spend another month fricking around in Madrid and watching bullfights for his new film, doesn't give a frick about the audiences, makes no concessions for his producers, shoots what he wants how he wants and delivers the film
These guys are suffering from success.
No Masculine feminine is insanely good, it’s a remake of Bergman’s the silence. In Godard’s early films there’s a perpetual theme of American media influence empowering women to gain more control over their surroundings to become vassals of American interests in order to make the men weaker so they can’t put up a fighting chance later. It’s probably the biggest most important motif of Breathless. It’s kind of flipped around in the american FNW Bonnie and Clyde film, where Bonnie realizes she just wants the peace of the idyllic past but she needs Clyde’s total rejection of her sexually to actually become interested in righting the worldly affairs that she was fine with just ignoring before. Also funny that that movie still gets praised on letterboxd even tho it’s biggest most important motif is displaying homosexually as an intense psychological hangup caused by deep prison society trauma and the failings of matching up the way you want to be remembered in the newspaper, which brings us back to Breathless and the obsession with Humphrey Bogart. In the silence the little boy is ignorant of a world that two older women guide him through and he finds freedom through exploration and observance, and bonding with the frail older butler that serves the women. It’s ironic considering the popular early American short story, Rip Van Winkle, is all about how American ideals were built out of the rejection of the rule and logic of the shrew into a new territory of never before seen freedom not through shrewish duty and responsibility but one act of solitary kindness
>3. Ingmar Berman on Orson Welles:
>>“For me he’s just a hoax. It’s empty. It’s not interesting. It’s dead. Citizen Kane, which I have a copy of — is all the critics’ darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it’s a total bore. Above all, the performances are worthless. The amount of respect that
Bergman was so fricking based bros...
No one dares make fun of Lynch.
>Quentin Tarantino: After I saw ‘Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me’ at Cannes, David Lynch had disappeared so far up his own ass that I have no desire to see another David Lynch movie until I hear something different. And you know, I loved him. I loved him.
>implying tarantino’s opinion matters
