What an amazing interview. Both Baz and Courtney had room to be so genuine and authentically converse about his remarkable creative process and life. Incredible interviewer and interviewee! Thanks.
Thank you Courtney for asking Baz questions that revealed him as intriguingly deep.
You can really feel Austin channeling the essence of Elvis, can't wait to see it.
Wow , interviewer was super prepared. That was smooth. Plus, yes, Baz, he’s living the dream.
This truly was a brilliant interview. Courtney, your preparation, questioning and ability to relate to Ben while delving deep into him as a person, reveals your respect for both your subject and craft. Ben was fascinating to listen to and your skill as an interviewer was a pleasure to watch.
His name is Baz not Ben
@@rkomgm3932 his name is Mark Not Baz
@@bipolarlife7405 - actually he had it legally changed to Baz
This really makes me very excited to see the film. I love that sentiment of 'enjoying something you're not supposed to'. That really is what made elvis the icon he is today.
I've been loving Courtney's interviews. There's a LOT of heart and almost as many facts. -.o
A.G.
Loved this interview so much
Courtney this interview is perfection
Your level of connection to the moment, your engagement to his work and your respect for their art is flawless
Courtney's interview skills are A+++++ - not sure if it's just because so far she seems to already know everyone she's interviewing, or just the preparation and confidence is that good, but whatever it is, this series is great!
Really loved this interview with the great Baz Luhrmann and the wonderful Courtney. She was very prepared to ask interesting questions and make poignant observations about the art of direction and to the actor Austin Butler
Great editing at the start! Amazing
Courtney what a great technique you have. So happy to see you at this level. Keep going girl. Xox
Brilliant interview!!! Loved it - Tim
A fabulous interview
Ooohhh this was so good! Loved it - thank you Courtney and Baz ❤
I am looking forward to seeing ELVIS. I LOVE HIM. ❤ VERY GOOD INTERVIEW.
Love Baz and I adore u Courtney 💗
Brings back memories ...upstairs @ Capriccios with Lorraine introducing the
artists. '' Isn't Sheeeeeeeee lovely ''.
Baz ...first time I've heard a sizzle platter mentioned in decades.
and Courtney ....Dusty rang for her hair.
Baz you’re a beautiful human being and you truly inspire my true inner artist to emerge 🥰🥰🥰I hope I see more of my inner artist soon!
Great interview
Courtney is so beautiful ! can't wait to see this , long live the King !
Courtney... girl! you have it all..
Class
Respectful
Smart
AND beautiful x
Great interview 👍
Strictly ballroom..my fav movie ever!!
I LOVE his pearls
Baz is my favorite director. I have watched strictly ballroom so many times. ELVIS IS FAB!!!!
Seriously Courtney your interviewing style is just delicious, intriguingly fresh and totally insightful. I love the way you kindly, respectfully (sometimes playfully) allow people to reveal their heart and soul 💞.
Beautiful, congratulations, and thank you ❤️
Well done 👍
Shane.
Thank u for this interview! BAZ LURHMANN is an AWESOME director! The ELVIS movie is SENSATIONAL!
OSCAR'S GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL BRILLIANT AWESOME ARTISTIC FANTASTIC! 💙🙏
Mrs Charlotte's is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
I almost quit learning about trading until I watched a video on CZcams and I contacted her with the number I saw there, thank you a billion times Mrs Charlottes, you have simplified everything
Strictly Ballroom has to be seen to be Believed. You cannot explain it. I love. It. And I loved Elvis too.
Great questions courtney
Courtney's very good at this...
After watching this excellent interview, I can't help but remember the harsh critique Michelle Visage gave Courtney on the Talk Show challenge of RPDR. This is proof that Visage was wrong.
THATS BAZ LUHRMAN
what is cbt? his wife and kids initials? or therapy?
TCB = taking care of business
Baz can't move his face anymore and his films are like a diamond encrusted pizza thrown at a toilet wall...
That's not really a woman right?
Wow , you’re smart.
She's an amazing drag queen
which one?
No apparently baz is a male
This is lovely and gay. Please continue to hire Courtney Act

All time?...
HorriblHorrible movie. Why don't you guys watch and Elvis video or documentary and then see by comparison how bad this movie really is. The acting is terrible
except for Tom Hanks - the scenery is OK and times are depicted correctly - but the acting, man - really sucks!!!! And they left out Elvis' best songs - like My Way
and his Gospel - which was part of him!!! Bummer!!!
@googlefan -"My Way" is one of Elvis' best songs? ROTFL UR truly in the minority about Austin Butler's masterful performance
Is that a man?
Do you mean Shane? Who has Courtney Act as his alter-ego? Yes, he is a man. A drag queen, but still a man. Being a transphobe and misplacing your hatred on someone that isn't even trans, is a pretty low IQ display. Cant expect much more from someone masquerading as a dead, in the closet, convicted murderer though.
Yes baz is a straight man
That’s a man
No shite...give the girl a cookie.
@@planestrainsdogsncars4336 ….can I have two……because it doesn’t know it is a man.
@@angellee5108 She’s a drag queen, not a trans woman. Get a grip and get a life.
what did he do to his *FACE* ?
Absolutely spooky
Nope. Besides the one Shakespeare adaptation, he makes unwatchable garbage.
Cant say anyone else has a directorial voice quite like him, though. You know a movie is directed by him when you see it.
@@smurfette_blues7922 Because other directors would be embarrassed to make what he does
I think his films just aren't your vibe. They are amazing though. They just don't work for you.
But he is a toxic tyrant.
