Imagine being trapped in a world created by these 2.
I'd take it.
Live in the Dogtooth household or Midsommar cult?
Nope! Haha
It would be very well crafted and the conversations would be pithy
I think that’d be Hell.
This pairing makes a lot of sense and I’m here for it!
I mean not as much as Martin McDonough and Taylor Swift. That was two filmmakers on the level 😅 dear Lord….
Exactly!! Both cute weirdos with movies full of trippiness and creativity! Amazingly talented!
Might be the only thing that makes sense between these two 😂
Do they discuss what mushrooms they were on when they made their respective movies? I love the loonies.
@@jakestroll6518 you don't necessarily have to be on substances when making the types of films they make..they've just reached a level of creativity where they stop giving a shit
Match made in heaven...two of the most prominent non-mainstream auteurs of our current era!
Robert Eggers deserves to be mentioned in the same breath
@@johnathonkelly5117 robert eggers is better than the both of the,
@@johnathonkelly5117 oh for sure! Just commenting on the pairing but definitely Eggers too
@@stewyyishim The Northman was kinda meh
I don't know about non mainstream but yes agreed
I love the way Yorgos smiles when Ari complements his film.
Absolutely. He smiles so much. I was really surprised by how happy Yorgos is. From his films, I expected someone more depressed or insecure.
@@shitsumeilegumovitch i said the same to a friend and he replies to me: well, ian curtis was a very humorous guy, yorgos are exorcising himself haha
After watching Yorgos Lanthimos' The Killing of a Sacred Deer & Poor Things and Ari Aster's Hereditary & Midsommar, this pairing just makes so much sense!
Go watch Beau Is Afraid, the movie Ari is campaigning for here. They’re both mad but Aris version is bleed and dark . Yorgos madness is touches darkness but never drowns in it.
@@jakestroll6518 Killing of a Sacred Deer and Dogtooth both are really dark and bleak, so I have to disagree with you...Lanthimos style is also very dark.
@@jakestroll6518Beau is afraid seems to be inspired by Lynch in some aspects which is why I love it despite its negative reception
"The Killing of a Sacred Deer" really blew me away upon first viewing, and the ending is unforgettably bleak.
@lilbubblegumleaks8104 It's way more Terry Gilliam than Lynch. Like, by a mile.
Ari and Yorgos's sock game is on point.
The person who paired them up deserves a raise
You guys say this in EVERY actors on actors, or directors on directors video lol.
@@JJJoeJoe every single one it's annoying hahaha
@@JJJoeJoeliterallythey’re just doing their job
Me too, but my boss is an asshole
Two creative and brilliant filmmakers.
*screaming internally* two of my favourite directors together! 😭
the crossover that we all needed
G. Lanthimos gives us young Greek artists hope. I am so proud of him and I hope he continues to create such groundbreaking, inspiring, wacky worlds though his films. I’m glad Variety included him in this series. Sending him love🌷
Tipato
These two are quite the pair. Two filmakers who've made some of the most insane films ever.
00:45 Discovering the book 'Poor Things'
02:40 Collaboration with other artists and influences
07:05 The film has different parts, with each world being terrible, and the tone shifting from funny to sad.
09:36 Challenging male desire for ownership
14:18 Ari Aster convinced Yorgos to join the film after multiple conversations
16:41 Using an intimacy coordinator in film production
20:56 Creating a reverent atmosphere on set
22:59 Creating an invented world with packed details
27:25 Filmmaking style evolved from stringent planning to more open and adaptable approach
29:28 Experimenting with lenses and movement to build filmic language
33:36 Sequence and discipline in filmmaking process
35:33 Yorgos Lanthimos' inspiration from childhood films and directors.
39:54 Directors discuss their approach to using water in movies.
Thank you ❤❤
14:18 convinced Joaquin**
thank you
I never even thought of my two favourite directors sitting down and talking about their movies together. This is awesome!
add Wes Anderson & Neill Blomkamp. ❤
I hope they all get together & go on vacation
@@iheartthesmalls 😁
yorgos lanthimos spending 10 minutes of his screentime to lobby for intimacy coordinators on set is such a green flag
You just told me everything I needed to know before deciding that I won't be watching this movie. Go Woke, go...
@@matthewraymondwillisThis has to be satire lol
@@matthewraymondwillis "Everything I don't like is woke!"
you don't need intimacy coordinators, as you shouldnt need the animal board for movies. Because any sane and civil person knows how to treat animals or how to have sex scenes. Yorgos is actually know for mistreating actors and crew members.
Anyways, I was past year on the Director's guild of America awards and there was a intimacy coordinator. A woman that was dressed to impress but in a very sexy way. And she was so unpolite and showy; kept standing in front of me with no distance limits, having her body pushing me back and she didn't even feel it; all because she wanted to be noticed by the important people and give them her business card.
@@matthewraymondwillis It made 3 times its budget.
If there’s an extended version of this please release it, this was so good
Beau Is Afraid is one of the best, most underrated movies of the year, and I adored The Favourite with high hopes for Poor Things.
So grateful for this pairing
Beau Is Afraid has been divisive for many but I loved it. I'm glad to see someone else who appreciates it as much as I do.
I’d say Beau is the best of the year hands down.
@@CoNiCuZn I agree, but Poor Things came very close, in a very different sort of way.
@@shitsumeilegumovitch I feel like Poor things is the better traditional movie that you can go back to and rewatch at any time. Beau is the better overall movie from an artistic point of view and is definitely more of a film lovers film. Beau is harder to rewatch with the longer run time and the pacing but god damn it is just masterfully crafted. I appreciate it so much.
Beau Is Afraid is my #2 of the entire year. I understand it’s polarizing, but for me it was just transcendent.
I could listen to Yorgos and Ari all day. Both are exceptionally talented, but still retain the ability to remain curious about approaches different than their own.
15:24 "And now I can't imagine making a movie without Joaquin"
Wow the way Ari talks about Joaquin is awesome!
absolutely loved Beau is Afraid, its one of my tops of the year and even in general. Can't wait to see Poor Things soon. Big fans of both directors, can't wait to see what they do next.
Poor Things is amazing,probably my favorite of the year.Havent watched Beau is Afraid yet,hope it’s good.
@@reckless_iguana6143its not good
Two great visionary directors
What do you mean by visionary
@@bbrother92visionary master of motion picture
@@YorgosL1 i was thinking that visionary is the one who likes more cinematic stuff other plot and characters
They are good but not great yet
@@jonsitoa visionary
A Yorgos Lanthimos and Ari Aster conversation presented by Saltburn; this was just so perfect ❤
Just finished watching it... I'm sure I'll be back for many additional revisits. Fantastic job putting this and these two together.
I wish this was a longer discussion! I love these two!
If anyone hasn't Dogtooth and Alps especially but all of Lanthimos' Greek language films are must watch. I discovered him with Dogtooth all those years ago and following his career has been kind of mindblowing. Seems to never misstep and ensures all his films have that unique 'clinical' (as Aster rightly says) tone.
The Lobster is my fav film of his. And it's basically Dogtooth, but funnier, I was laughing throughout the whole movie.
I really appreciate their discussion on intimacy coordinators and filmmakers who inspired them!
Two of the best directors working right now. In their prime also!
Dogtooth and Hereditary are masterpieces. This is the pairing of my dreams.
You get it
Please do some cinematographers on cinematographers, or a DP round table
A roundtable where they talk about double penetration is a great idea!
poor things looks frickin amazing, the dialogue is hilarious
Two of the most unique directors out there right now, I love how both of them kind of blend horror and comedy and drama
Found these two directors for the first time this year, saw both Beau is Afraid and Poor Things in theatres and I’m in love
What a pleasure to see two great directors talking like that, it was like sitting at a table and drinking coffee while watching them talk. A dream. Thanks for this video! Hugs from Brazil
two kings of their craft, LOVED this one
i mean this is just suchhh a treat! i can watch another 2 hours of these 2 guys!
Thank you Variety, fantastic pairing of two of the most interesting and talented filmmakers working today. They both are known for not divulging much about their projects in interviews but maybe this time will be different, I'm excited.
I never clicked on a video so fast. My two favorite filmmakers talking for fourty minutes is a dream
I thought Beau is Afraid and Poor Things were a complementary pair. But hearing them speak with one another and listening to their pacing reminds me just how different their approaches most likely are onset!
being the intimacy coordinator on poor things must have been a huge job - kudos to yorgos to shouting her out for her great work!
Just both of my favorite directors, chilling out and talking.
Poor things is a great movie, i loved it.
Yorgos and Ari have such a calm soothing voices which is wild considering their movies usually invoke the opposite feeling 😭
Lanthimos is the coolest director ever
These dudes are my favorite modern filmmakers. They make the most original movies. My favorites are Dogtooth and Beau is Afraid.
this is my christmas gift that I didn’t know I wanted!!
This is great. Thank you both so much. I've already listened thru this a couple times and have now finally got to see Poor Things. Two of my most anticipated films from great filmmakers which was a pretty incredible way to "book end" an overall good year of feature films. Hoping to see Poor Things again in a theater soon and recent rumors of Ari Aster's next potential project is exciting.
Both have a CRAZY minds, they make the most disturbing films, and they wear funny vibrant socks. Respect.
I loved every minute of this. Yorgos is really captivating when speaking.
I know. It's really unexpected. But it makes more sense how he gets such good actors now.
He has way more depth than Aster and so do his films.
@@ipluvs Yorgos's the smartest director right now, he brings up themes no one does.
Awesome to see 2 of my favourite directors in conversation!
I love these guys and their perspectives, really cool to see them come together. Also may I just say, after watching 'The Idol' it is very refreshing to hear two seasoned directors talk about intimacy coordination in a positive light.
Omg I cant believe I get to watch this for free, I adore their work
Two of the best movies this year by two awesome directors!
Loved hearing these 2 talk divulge the inner workings of there thought processes ❤
The pairing of my DREAMS. This is an education, so excited for this one!
very excited about this pairing. the directors of maybe my two favorite films of the year
I literally screamed when I saw this on my homepage. Thank you, Variety
I love this pairing so much. Two masters of their crafts. Beau is Afraid and the experience of watching it for the first time was absolutely transcendent.
Wow wow, what a treat. Two of my faves.
Been waiting very excitedly for this one
Another raise for the person who pairs these genius convos. Immediate raise lol.
This is one of my favorite interviews. I love their references to old films. You can tell that they’re pure students and loyal to the process.
Two of my favorite directors today. I recently watched both Hereditary and Midsomar and of course been a Lanthimos fan since forever! Great timing for me to watch this
have you seen Beau?
This pairing is brilliant and I loved watching it. I wish it could have been 3 hours longer!
My 2 favorite movies of the year. Great combination
They directed the two best films of the year. Amazing.
Two of my favourite directors right now
Γιωργάρα πάρε Joaquin στην επόμενη ταινία σου να γουστάρουμε ακόμη περισσότερο. Συγχαρητήρια που ξέφυγες απο το Ελλαδιστάν και έγινες σπουδαίος.
Amazing discussion between two Legends! Thank you.
There’s something about the way Yorgos plays with his hands that sends me, I love him
I need a round table with these two + Robert Eggers
excellent content! more of these please!!
This pairing is like peanut butter & jelly: a perfect match.
I can’t get over how insanely GORGEOUS that one ultra wide shot at 9:32 is..
it’s just so strange how every director doesn’t use these 130 degree lenses at least 30% of the time in every modern film 🎉
I agree, it looks so amazing
a pleasure to listen to such high level genius.
More of this please!
OH MY GOS WHOEVER PAIRED THESE TWO IS A GENIUS AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER IN MY LIFE TO CLICK ON A CZcams VIDEO AHHHHH
Ari Aster is a vibe! Just loved that he shortlists everything.
lovely gents, great convo, im here for it
Thanks for this interview😍💜
Beau is Afraid & Poor Things are two of the best movies of 2023
This conversation and these kind of conversations in general,are/should be a Film making MasterClass
Awesome to see these 2 masters of their craft talk. Poor Things and Beau is Afraid are top 2 favorite movies of 2023.
Poor things & Beau is afraid are my 2 favorite movies of the year
Lanthimos and Haneke would be a perfect combination for directors on directors.
Two of the best directors doing it right now.
I’d round it out with the safdies for top 3 working right now.
@@SteveSmith-ze5mwand Eggers
it??? like sex?????
@@azon9709 Yeah and movies too.
@@azon9709Wdym like sex
That was so good. Perfect pairing thanks!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME that's the best pairing ever
Many thanks to Ari, Yorgos and everyone at Variety! 🎬
Mis dos directores favoritos JUNTOS. Me fascina lo bien que hablan y la buena comunicación que hay entre los dos. Me alegro mogollón que accedieran a hacer esto :D
Shout out to whoever thought of putting these two together in a room and recording it. You're the real GOAT!
I know right perfect match, just like Nolan and Villeneuve.
@@cyberpunkchloe9denis crushes Nolan and it’s not even close
idk man, dune(movie) was pretty dissapointing, if you have read the book@@KillerOfTheShadow
@@KillerOfTheShadow
Opinion is subjective, Denis haven't wrote his own film yet while Nolan already did 5 (solo), but both filmmakers already made great films in their career, both of them also dream about making movies since their were kids and teenagers.
This is like the 20 comment i saw saying this exact thing
"Beau is Afraid" is Aster's best film so far and an absolute masterpiece. It's fearless, terrifying and wonderful!
Ahhh 2 of the best directors of the "outlandish" films. This pairing feels unexpected, but so right! I really enjoy Beau is Afraid as an absurd dark comedy, but Poor Things is definitely a film I've been waiting for.
Midsommar and Poor Things are two of my favourite films of the last five years. Great directors, fascinating conversation.
That ending is incredible haha "great!" ... "alright!" ... "that's it!" These two guys together talking about film is such an incredible treat.
Can't wait to see what Ari Aster does next! And looking forward to seeing Poor Things
Great dialogue！Love them both
I can FINALLY watch this. “Poor Things” is Great, and “Yorgos” is now 1 of my Favorite directors. Cant wait for “Kinds of Kindness” & “Eddington” coming 2025.
Enjoyed this a lot was very enthused with Ari on this one I want to watch Beau is Afraid now
Presented by Saltburn! What fantastic company
Thank you for this!!!!!
Two brilliant directors of our time in a single frame. This is such an insane combination... Sheer brilliance
