Favorite director
Karsten Runquist Hey Karsten, love your channel!
I see what you did there
Karsten I fucking hate you
Favourite.....We Blightly have an U....Mine too Karsten...
Karsten Runquist Favourite *
One of the best active directors, hasn't made a false step so far
thanks karl
@@plasticvision no worries darling
if Karl Marx says so must be true
@Ey b0ss he's the man, excited for Dune
Yes he is.
Lanthimos has such a calming tone
Such a genius. I hope he never ever tries to "adapt to the machine" and lose his unique style in the process.
Love how Alfonso looks at Yorgos with such admiration
They're also dressed nearly identically.
his films are amazing, they really show the human experience and how bizarre yet natural it is
Certainly one of the best directors currently working. I'm sure he'll have many more amazing films throughout the next decade.
@@wood18net If you could give me a list of films that are similar to The Lobster, Dogtooth, The Killing of a Sacred Dear and The Favourite then be my guest. What a silly comment.
@@wood18net Please, give me examples of films he copies. I would love for you to show me how blind I really am. I am giving you the opportunity to tell me, so go on and do it. Please.
@@wood18net What a silly comment.

He made some really crazy commercials in Greece. My all time favorite was the village cop "Put the cots down slowly" for a cable provider in Greece
can you provide a link for his work back then?
He did that one??????
@@asicdathens Thanks man!
OMG - that and the other one with 'the gaidar' were my all time favourite commercials. Thanks for the info. I had no idea they were his.
Χαχαχαχαχα ομγ δικό του ήταν; Τώρα θα εκτιμώ τις ταινίες του περισσότερο xD
one of my favorite working directors
All greeks are so proud of you🇬🇷🇬🇷
as if Homer and Euripides weren't enough...
So far there is nothing greek about his films. You could say that his film Sacred Deer and Labstor looks more Irish than british. Kakojannis a cypriot film director in the 60s was awarded with Óscar for his english speaking film, Zorbas the Greek, but all the caracters, the music and the Script were greekthemed. In Lanthimos films you dont see any greek characters, greek actors or any sort of greek music. Anything he has achieved so far is also on his own effort. Nobody really payed any attetion to him in Greece and the greek center of cinematography has never financed any of his films. The Irish Element Productions financed his films Labstor, sacred deer and the Favourite.
@@janhamburger1690 then you clearly havent watched many greek films. Especially Nikos Nikolaidis films. there are a lot of Greek films with a weird tone and setting. and lots of nudity lol
The Lobster is actually a Greek-Irish co-production by the way.
@@janhamburger1690 "In Lanthimos films you dont see any greek characters, greek actors or any sort of greek music."
First of all all of Yorgos's first 3 movies are in greek with greek actors (Dogtooth got nominated for an Oscar)
In the Lobster there are MANY greek songs in the soundtrack throughout as well as greek actors. Killing of the Sacred Deer had many parallels to a greek tragedy.
Also i don't see how Yorgos needs to make "greek themed films" whatever that even means for greeks so to be proud of a guy that started from Athens,Greece making movies with his friends and is now one of the top talents in Hollywood.
What's your issue?
@@wonderlandian8465 Yeah I'm greek but I didn't get that either. What the hell? Should we disregard quaron' s ethnicity too because children of men didn't have enough Mexicans?
Yorgos doesn't need to please anyone here. He doesn't get half the credit he deserves in his home country. My script teacher the other day was like "he lost all the baftas for directing!". "The awards he got were all for his co stars!". A classmate then asked: "oh so which awards didn't he get? There's only one director award as far as I know" and she answers: "Yeah! That one. He didn't get best director!". He lost to Spike Lee and Alfonso. What the fuck is wrong with you.
I don't mean that my teachers should like his films but what the hell is up with all this hatred.
I’ve always admired his strange and unique take on his films, but after seeing the masterpiece that is The Favourite he has quickly risen to the very top of my list of directors. Yorgos is someone I heavily look up to, and I am so happy he’s getting more recognition with this most recent film. He really deserves it.
1:30 ALL OF THEM RELATED SO HARD THAT WAS SO ADORABLE HAHA
One of the modern masters of film
I really liked the Lobster! The ending was great!
highly recommend yall see The Favourite, its a masterpiece
Loved what he said about limitations with English speaking film. He’s really getting at something specific here I even find when watching US production films where you feel a certain tick box has to be met and there is a no go zone which must be avoided at all costs. From really loving European / soviet or just non US American cinema, I find the shackles are let loose which allows for true creative and original expression!
I am utterly obsessed with him. I love how much some people hate him, and why. I think that means he's doing something really great. I know that sounds pretentious but I don't mean it that way. His movies are definitely not for everyone and it's totally valid to be legitly upset by them and not into it. I think he feels that way too. I'm just so fascinated by how his works make people react in all sorts of ways. I love them to death. Still need to see Dogtooth and The Favorite but TKOASD is my second favorite movie of all time and one I am utterly profoundly obsessed with.
this is like therapy for them.
I know, right? Haha. But besides that, Yorgos seems to have something to say as a director, if a little bizzarre. My favorite director.
Φοβερός!!!🇬🇷🇬🇷❤💪
Yorgos & Alfonso are really handsome.
I enjoyed The Favourite, and probably would say it's my favorite Lanthimos film. I've liked all his movies but I don't think he's made his masterpiece yet, although I have faith in his ability to make one.
thats dogtooth in my book ...
Yorgos Lanthimos is one of my favorite director, he is fucking talented ! Photography in his film his AWSOME ! God bless him.
Hire a sound mixer on these THR. Music is way too loud and voices are too soft.
He rules, he f_cking rules !!
I hope it's either him or alfonso quaron that takes home the academy award for best director
Yorgos Lanthimos is always my favorite director
One of my favorites hands down.
Ένα τεράστιο μπράβο στον Γιώργο Λάνθιμο!
+1 for Yorgos Lanthimos if you think he should be an Oscar winner ! Who's with me ?!
@Zoe Kouf I hope he does ! I LOVE all his movies , even Dogtooth even though at first it was really weird for me !
Excellent as always. Are you releasing the whole round table tape?
This man is a goddamn genius don't @ me
@@wood18net You are so alone with this opinion...
@@wood18net I m informed enough but you have to reform yourself. You are so genius we cant even understand what you are saying. Write a book about Lanthimos and explain how non talented director he is. Sleep well my friend because you lack rest. Or is it natural to say these things...
@@wood18net Ok. Lets play. Lanthimos is a genious because he can see the reality with different eyes. In the begining i couldnt understand everything but intime i realized that he is a genious because he has created his own universe in cinema and for another
reason : He doesnt have to persuade anyone for his opinion in cinema. At the opposite you are so anxious to spread your opinion about him. Thats the difference. You have this stress and he has no stress. Ths comfortable my friend is the basic sign between a genious and a person who doubts a genious. No body owes you an agreement. And thats the source of your anxiety.
Congrats Yorgo! Patrida!
the key word is 'suffer' in all creative processes...we want to keep away form it but we always come back to that...'suffer'...
Πὲς τα ῥε Λάνθιμε.
Άντε να καταλάβουν οι ξένοι τι λέμε ε;
Such a huge talent for a small country like Greece. He sure puts a great name to us. He is making us believe that one day Greeks will be rise again and make extrodinary things in the art scene.
Γιώργο σ ευχαριστούμε. Να κρατάς μόνο τα καλά που ακούγονται για εσένα στην Ελλάδα. Η παιδεία αυτης της χώρας βουλιάζει και πολλές φορές δε σε καταλαβαίνει. Μη μας ξεχάσεις όμως.
Καλή σταδιοδρομία στην ήδη επιτυχημένη σου πορεία!
pheba 100 πεs τα ...ετσι...γεννησαμε τον πολιτισμο, γεννησαμε την Αρχαια Ελληνικη Τραγωδια -που μεγαλυzτερη μορφη τεχνηs δεν υπαρχει -και τωρα προσπαθουμε να τα θαψουμε όλα..αλλα δεν θα περασει...Greece is the birth place of civilization and the Greeks will rise above all of their challenges- there are no problems , only challenges...Lanthimos for an Oscar Academy Award in Film Direction
Incredible to see the guy who directed Black Panther sitting among these incredible directors.
Too bad The Favourite is playing in zero theaters near me.
Luke Whitten same here 😤
I experienced the same thing.
Would be nice if you could balance the sound levels when you transition from edits... I turn up the volume to hear the speakers, then turn it down when the music hits - way to hot. Thanks
Kinda wanna give Spike Lee a blanket. He looks cold.
ΜΠΡΑΒΟ!
Spike Lee is on his weird Popeye's outfit.
His Greek fisherman's cap is (coincidentally?) the second greek element at this round table.
What's with the blue/purple/gray blazers? Is there a dress code among them?
What's going on with the sound, cmon fix it!
What is Bradley Cooper doing there?
5:43 Lanthimos had to catch a plane
1:18 anyone knows which camera is that? the little one Yorgos has hanging on him
A Leica of some sort!
I love you
YOU SHOULD CALIBER YOUR AUDIO: music is really high compared to the talking parts and it´s upsetting to watch this videos without changing the volume :S
As folks indirectly involved with creatives; you might consider that some of us listening are sound engineers, watching your lovely clips on a break and it would be ever so sweet, if in future clips, you have the music at the start & in-between = NOT LOUDER than the speakers! I have to mute the clips every time ;) Thanks
Έλα Γιώργο, μη σταματάς
I just noticed that mr bean quickly tries to switch the question to Alfonso when Yorgos was only said 1 sentence... luckily he didn't stop speaking. Please just let your guest talk for a moment.
I don't know if it's because the presenter's mouth moves oddly but if not the sync is off
What this director should have said was: well I make my movies for penny's on the dollar.
Yorgos is a sick fuck, demented creep, and a unbeatable genius.
PRO TIP IF YOUR DIALOGUE IS COMING IN AT -24DB DONT PUT THE MUSIC AT -6DB
YORGOS DID YOU KILLED THAT CAT ON DOGTOOTH??????????
hey Hollywood Reporter, Fix your bloody sound levels!!! Those 7 second musical breaks are REALLY loud. Stop being ridiculous. I know, it's your music and it reinforces your brand, but for christ sakes!!! Exercise some common sense!!
I searched for pronunciation
What kind of element is that on yellow right to the side of Cuaron? WTF?
The Lobster was such an awful movie, but I loved The Favourite.
@Roger Edgerton I watched it because I paid to get in to see it! Why wouldn't I watch it? It sucked! And I wasn't the only one who hated it.
@@wood18net I will do that for sure.
@@wood18net Influence is not plagiarism. And it’s pretty embarrassing, if you think that ideas in cinema and in the arts generally come from some kind of “well” of creativity. You’re clearly missing the aesthetic values of each director.
By your means, any psychological horror film is just a ripoff of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. Well, clearly NOT at all.
If one assumes that every one of your parallels actually applies and it’s not just your biased viewpoint, which you aim to boast on an online platform rather in vain.
Does Ryan Coogler's face was the same during the entire interview, so annoying...
The Lobster was probably the worst film I've ever seen; The Favourite wasn't terrible but was hugely overhyped. He is really not a genius director, his films look like a GCSE drama student's attempts to make an artsy film.
