      I agree, more than stuff like, "This is such a good movie, this is such a good movie." He seemed very comfortable and insightful.

    One of the best episodes imo, great to see the man behind Coco having such an intresting taste, especially Punch Drunk Love, I haven’t heard a single person saying that it’s their favorite PTA movie before.

      I watched the film because I read it was one of a few films inspired by 8 1/2. Wasn't sure what to expect, but had low expectations since I'm not a big fan of Musicals. Was blown away by how amazing this film is and was very pleased when it got added to the collection.

    Only a minor quibble. Angel at my Table is a New Zealand film and Jane Campion a New Zealand filmmaker. Please don't take this as pedantry or criticism. It did have Australian and British backers. We're a tiny nation and frequently overlooked.

    @TehSkullKid Před 6 lety +23

    I love the variety in film industry professionals Criterion brings to these videos! One minute you've got mainstream actors like Cera and a Disney/Pixar animator discussing classic films, and another there's directors who produce films in the actual collection like del Toro, to critics and philosophers like Zizek, to TV comedians like Bill Hader. It's fascinating to see how the same passion for great cinema is felt among people from all kinds of creative industries.

      For Kubrick, I don't think any more Criterions are coming. Major studios are still holding onto the rights for those films and since all of those are considered their decade defining classics, they already make a priority out of, and do a pretty good job restoring them.

      You would have to write an essay. But it's such an odd, offbeat film, taking the unexpected path every scene while still being hopelessly romantic. It's like an introverted, anxious, depressed person's fantasy of love. I also think of it as having a slingshot structure, where the main character is stretched beyond his limits to a near panic attack, then suddenly released (during the magnificent Hawaii montage) into bliss. Adam Sandler transcends anything you could ever imagine coming out of him.
