Most people in closet: I'm gonna take this opportunity to talk about my favorite films
Hamaguchi: it's shopping time bitches!
I'm so proud of this guy.
I would do the same.
Awesome comment!
This is the whole point of it, I know you're complaining. This was what I'd do if I did.
I used to think this was just a library-type arrangement and they were renting all they wanted. Now I'm not sure if they're buying them or Criterion is generous enough to give them these titles for free.
My guy wasted no time talking, just kept filling that bag.😂 No need to apologize, my friend, you're literally all of us.😊
💯 and his eyes were huge 👀 like a kid at a toy store. I love seeing this excitement
haha. Amazing, This would be me. And definitely nabbing some boxsets
Damn he took another Cassavettes box just for a souvenir talking about taking advantage of a good situation
Taking a whole-ass boxset he already has "as a souvenir." What a fucking legend
This man was on a mission.
Sorry, dear viewers, no closet videos in the upcoming weeks, have to restock!😂
For some reason, his voice is having an ASMR effect on me.
Fr this video relaxed me
For real! He has a really nice assertive yet calming voice.
Me too. Very calming voice.
This is the first one of these videos in which I actually feared for the health of the Criterion shopping bag.
He thought ahead of time and opted for triple-stitching
It’s nice to see someone like Ryusuke Hamaguchi getting tons of films from Japanese classics to art house films.
It’s like he’s getting one of everything.
Please, invite Kiyoshi Kurosawa. Would be amazing!
Dude's like, "I already have this and I also want another one."
The power of Cassavetes 🤙🏼
It feels so refreshing and nice when a guest speaks in their own language. They have a different freedom and can really discuss the films they pick in a different way. Also japanese has a certain melody to it that i like.
Damn, he made out pretty well. LOL. Can't blame him. If you even get in that room just once you're extremely lucky, grab all you can.
Criterion : Take as many movies you want
Ryusuke : Yes.
I don’t think, I’ve ever noticed anybody expressed gratitude so openly, and so frequently in these. I think it’s awesome! It’s probably my favorite part.
You’re not familiar with Japanese culture, obviously
@@waynedexter why I’m here. Learn learn learn.
@@jamesgwarrior1981be quiet kid
@@YorgosL1 as a kid I thought I was Malachi from Children of the Corn. The teddy ain’t make it 🌽 🔪 🧸 🩸
The translation is not exactly accurate, though.
He says 頂いていきますmany times in this video, which was subtitled several times as “thank you very much”. But the Japanese phrase actually means “I’m gonna take this one” in somewhat polite manner.
I love it when someone takes a bunch of stuff. I just feel like they are so into film and that they just cant help themselves when presented with the opportunity to be a kid in a candy store so to speak. It really speaks to the love of film that need and that want to just grab a bunch of amazing films.
My Darling Clementine (1946) is a masterpiece. Love seeing a John Ford classic western get picked. Ryusuke has great taste!
love a director who is clearly a big film buff
I’ve only seen Drive My Car by him, wow what a great movie. I’ve been meaning to check out more of his movies. So cathartic seeing him go HAM in the criterion closet, I totally would! 😂
You should check out Happy hour, Evil does not exist.
"Late Spring" as the first pick had me doing that thing you see in GIFs where Leonardo DiCaprio points at the screen and makes an excited face. What a great, great movie that is!
These are legitimately the best videos on youtube. It's so fucking interesting to see the influences of my favorite actors/director/musicians
This reminds me of me, the first time going to a Barnes and Noble during the half off sale about ten years ago. Back then the $8 off coupons worked with the sale and the 10% member discount. Criterion Blu-rays for $10.64 after tax, those were the days! 😂
Very diverse choices.
yes to: Late Spring, Beau Travail, Until the End of the World, Floating Weeds, and My Darling
he’s got taste for days man
That man is all business, no time to waste
First off, never apologize for taking lots of Criterion Films...we love it! I love his diverse tastes and the way he explains why he loves it.
Love it! Feels like he's shopping for all of us - I won't let you down!!
Man came to complete his collection. Respect.
I love how he goes straight for the box sets lol
Fascinating picks by a master filmmaker.
Late Spring is the most beautiful piece of art of all time. Just incredible!
Omg he has amazing taste
happy hour remains unmatched. his new one was really good, maybe his best ending of them all. love the guy.
HAPPY HOUR fans remaining winning
a sign of supreme skill - bringing the closet to the point where the discs began to fall
Hamaguchi while picking up Cure: "I'm in it so I'm gonna get it"
I love how he constantly apologizing for getting so many movies 😅. Master Hamaguchi I don't think anyone minds hahahaha
Wow!!! Someone get, him another bag!!!
Reminded me of the days when people would win a minute to run around a shop with a trolley and get as much as they can.
Forget how many he took, the man knows cinema
Another living legend
One of our greatest artists working today
one of the great contemporary film makers. Drive My Car is still the best film of the decade so far
Love how he starts to laugh mentioning James Mason losing it in “Bigger Than Life”. I can’t wait to see “Evil Does Not Exist”. This guy is in the pantheon!
My man really went for it 😭😭 we love you very to see it can't wait for his next work. (
I've seen all his work previous)
This was so cool.. Got more exposure to world cinema through this segment!! Added all the movies to my watchlist!
Probably my favorite closet pick. He seems soo grateful for the opportunity and just keeps shopping. I would be doing the same thing
Delightful!! My shopping list just got longer
One of the new greats, Hamaguchi is here to stay. Drive My Car and Happy Hour are incredible
The Rhythm Of The Night scene at end of Beau Travail one of the most memorable scenes ever filmed.
This is how you do it. A superb example of Japanese focus and efficiency.
oooh this is a real cool one. Every now and then I like to check the Criterion section in Barnes and Noble and blind pick a film I've never heard of, or at least know very little about, and add it to my collection. I grabbed Drive My Car one day and it's an all time favorite of mine.
One of my favourite aspects of the closet is how humbled almost everyone is once they step into that cathedral of film. Mr. Hamaguchi is a fine example of that.
God, I love art.
love this man
I love that he announces the title and director. Most don't.
Just watched Evil Does Not Exist yesterday. Ya'll really need to see it. By the end of it, absolutely floored.
Floating Weeds - one of the greatest films of all time. Loved watching this closet pick.
That's a fulfilling haul, he didn't shy away, nor did he gluttonous. Very apt.
Ryusuke Hamaguchi, you are all of us!
Was anybody else wondering how he was gonna get that lot through customs?
Bang and he kicks off with my favourite film. So good. His last two films are solid gold and Eiko Ishibashi's scores are sublime. I'm still sick to the stomach that I had to sell my JC Five Films DVD box set many years ago. Still broke and they're hard to get in the UK. One day...
When he mentioned that it wasnt his first time in the closet, I remember the criterion twitter account posting a polaroid picture of him in the closet in 2021 because I waited for it to be posted lol. I wonder if they didnt film that or just wasn't able to release it for some reason.
Damn Ryusuke cleaned the closet out!
Heaven can wait, this Late Spring Ryusuke will pick souvenirs Until the end of the world coz its Bigger than life for him. Beau travail!
One of my favorite directors
Hey Criterion!! Get Hirokazu Koreeda (Shoplifters, Like Father, Like Son) to do one of these!
refreshing, If you cross the zone in Stalker and enter the room of wishes, not the time for restraint
Best Japanese movie Director working today
Almost. But Kore-eda has a bigger schlong.
my man was spinning out of control... BIGGER THAN LIFE moment
Wish I could experience La Haine for the very first time like he’s about to.
im cheering him on this is exactly what i would do. live my dream buddy
No unnecessary commentary n showing off .just plain picking of titles..this is how it is done..best pick in a long while
Bigger Than Life with bonus features. Awesome Sauce
I love this guy!
Asako & I is such a beautiful movie
This might be one of the larger closet hauls in recent history. The dude cleaned up!
This is so fun! I love his energy.
Less a criterion Closet more a supermarket sweep! how many did he take?
This had me smiling. Is that the biggest haul yet?
I seem to remember Cate Blanchett and Todd Field both took way more in their video.
I think Isabelle Huppert hauled a lot of films as well. Legend!
Fellow man of culture 👌🏻
Everyone should bow when mentioning John Cassavettes' name
You just know he already has a taste.
Snagging those box sets.
This is how you do it. Get in that closet like you own it...and take everything! 🤣 Loved this one!
Dude almost went to grab another bag . 🤣
The Closet is close for a few days awaiting the next delivery
This clip is a registration of a robbery lol.
saw "La Haine" in college. Definitely not an easy movie to watch
Can trust Criterion at this point with subtitles.
Second Japanese artist mentioning Ozu. Feel like I’m missing something incredible.
Heaven Can Wait is incredible, this guy cinemas
Delightful
I’m here for the ASMR 🙏
Supermarket Sweep, Criterion edition 😂
In this moment, in my opinion, he and Lee Chang Dong are the best directors in the world.
I would add Weerasethakul.
Pedro Costa & Wang Bing
Jia Zhang Ke, Christian Petzold, and Hirokazu Koreeda are in with a shout for that title as well.
That was hilarious! I think he set a record! Lubitsch, Ford, and Cassavetes, were the only "American" filmmakers he chose. Interesting.
He says little, takes a lot, and - more than just about any other person in the CC - shows us that movies are an universal form of communication.
I could have hung out with this fellow for hours in the Criterion Closet. Excellent picks! I haven't watched 'The End of the World' since early 90s, so I'll try to find the 4 hour version.
😊 great
how long would it take to watch all the ones he took?
"Army of Shadows" goes so effing hard 💪
early gang let's go
me if i ever did a closet pick episode
