Mishima is one of the most interesting human beings to live in the past 100 years, his life is an incredible story and he was apparently an amazing author
Thats the best part of this channel - seeing arthouse directors being like kids on Christmas morning. Seeing them get giddy over Blu-Rays is so endearing & relatable. The worst part of this channel - that the videos are so ridiculously brief.

Its kind of weird. After watching his masterpiece "Irreversible", i was almost convinced, that this guy was a complete lunatic. But seeing him in interviews, he actually seems like a really nice and peaceful guy.
He once said that directors who make the most unsettling movies are the most peaceful persons you might meet, while those specialised in comedy are somewhat the most grim ever.
Have you ever met/worked with people in the industry? I totally agree with Noé's statement. Horror/underground directors are the nicest people you could ever meet. Those who make Hollywood comedies, on the other hand, are often times godawful fucking people.

Gaspar Noe is one of my favorite directors. his vision is unique and daring. What is also nice to see is that he actually is obsessed with films. he loves films. A kind of director who wants to learn from his own favorites. That is the beauty of it..he let's pride completely vanish from his opinion. I wish there were more directors like him. Also he totally ignored Mulholland Dr 😂
Every good director is giddy about good films.How else would you become a filmmaker and not be crazy about other's visins.Ive never seen a director not passinately love or dislike a film . Bunuel ,Miike they have strong films because they have strong deeply felt opinions ! all artists are this way !
I have printed the thumbnail of this video, put a frame on it and placed it on my desk. Noe's serious face looking over his glasses and holding Salo DVD gives me the direction I need when I feel lost.
Climax is dope af. It’s literally filmed to climax like an acid trip. When you drop it takes about 45 min to kick in, and that’s just when the group starts to trip.
i dunno man… Noé really has lost his bite since "Love 3D". Which is sad for a man like him with that range of movies he made earlier. But i suppose it's hard to top that again.
@@eatfugu Just curious if you have experience with psychedelics, especially in high doses? I wonder how I would have felt about Climax if I didn't have the experience I do. Without the use of cheesy visual effects, he was able to perfectly represent what it is like to be on high levels of LSD, especially in regard to having a bad trip. I felt more tense while watching this movie than any other before. It's not a perfect film, but from my perspective he accomplished something which has never quite been done before, at least to my knowledge. I'm just wondering if it's something which can only, or mostly, be appreciated by those with first hand experience.

😅 For real though, I guess you would totally find it. I mean this extreme movies directors are still movie directors after all and they are probably in love with all forms of cinema. It's not like you must be a psycho to create or to like a strange extreme movie
'Seconds', excellent. The last minute of 'seconds' is one of the most emotionally wrenching experiences I've had watching a film, particularly the final shot.
Weirdly I saw this video a couple times after I first watched Salò but I’d never seen any of Gaspar’s movies. Just watched Irreversible. This guy’s a dark genius
The Naked Prey is one of those movies that you can watch again and again. It's the film of that White Hunter genre that's completely different and immensely more well done than any other. It stands on its own as a great movie of any type.
Hopefully never. The less heard from that repellent Nazi bastard, the better. Seeing his slimy face and listening to his idiotic comments almost ruined Trespassing Bergman for me, even infantile John Landis was more tolerable.
"Sundays and Cybele" is the hard to read B&W one he holds up for only a split second. I saw "Island of Lost Souls" when I was a kid and it scared the poop out of me. And it contains the famous line by Bela Lugosi that Devo popularized, "Are we not men?"
The most interesting criterion closet video yet, and I have seen alot. They didnt list the movies at the end though. They should really invite him in a second visit. Gaspar Noé is so inspiring.
D'Ascoyne Yes, I've seen half a dozen or more separate lists from individual critics that put _Safe_ as either best of its year or best of the entire decade.

The most famous list it ranked first on was the Village Voice and Film Comment poll: "results of their century-ending polls of critics, archivists, film programmers and historians....Todd Haynes' brilliant and mysterious 1995 American drama, "Safe," was voted No. 1 ... ahead of "Breaking the Waves," "Flowers of Shanghai," "Taste of Cherry" and "GoodFellas.""
When I saw the title of this video I knew he would talk about Salo haha. He has a very unique and interesting taste and a great knowledge of cinema, and also a unique and interesting style to his own movies. Plus he's friends with one of my favorite directors, Harmony Korine lol
I know someone already did it in the comments but I usually don't read comments. It would be very useful if you guys added a list of movies that people pick out in these videos. I have discovered a few movies I didn't know about via these videos. Amoeba does a similar thing in their What's in my Bag? videos and on their website, they have a list of the music/movies picked up by the featured person(s) in the video.
Honestly didn't know anything about this guy, but I loved his voice his energy so maybe I'll check out his picks. I don't even want to say what movie I've seen, not now not EVER to anyone. I feel like FBI or Europol has me on a list right now.
theres something incredible about the way Gaspar Noe acts like a kid in a candy store while looking through the darkest movies ever created. God bless this fucked up man.
Noé picking up Salo and being exited about the bonus features is the least surprising thing ever.

Gasper always strikes me as a Psychopath. Dead eyes, his questionable tastes in movies. The almost kid like superficial charm.
His genuine smile when he showed Saló to the camera before putting it in the bag was like a child, giddy and excited to play with a new toy.

It's pretty dark psychologically, I guess, but it's not violent in any way.

Teenagers talk like that. No wonder his movies are so shallow and gratuitous.

It's so adorable how excited he gets! I love Gaspar! I can't wait to see "Climax".
SECONDS is incredible. So glad he picked it.
2:21 he’s so happy with salo

Irreversible is a movie that I can never forget. Certain scenes are just embedded into my mind.
The Naked Prey is one of those movies that you can watch again and again. It's the film of that White Hunter genre that's completely different and immensely more well done than any other. It stands on its own as a great movie of any type.
it has pérhaps the most brutal scene I can remember in any movie Ive seen
We talking 1965 movie here?
Just finished watching it (if I didn’t messed up anything), and how is it the first cannibal movie? I haven’t seen a hint on a cannibalism in it
Noe is one of only a handful of truly brilliant filmmakers out in the world today. He should remake SECONDS.
man..that closet is HEAVEN..
He’s so genuine and awkward...I love it.
I knew Salo was a favorite of his because there was a poster of it in the protagonist's room in 'Love'
And it was in the dvds during the interview intro of Climax
He likes Seconds. I love this man so much.
Gaspar Noe is awesome.
He seems like a really nice guy
Nice to see some love for Seconds.
He was visibly anxious and breathing heavily, just having a cinegasm right there hahah.
This is my favorite closet video. Everyone else are generic criterion art house fans. This is guy is looking for a particular genre
he has such a specific energy
Seen all the films he picked. He is like child in the candy store. Greatest director alive imo.
0:12 is this the sound Gaspar Noé makes when he moves ?
Boots on a wooden floor.
Thats the sound when he moves his finger over the plastic dvds, you creepo
When he walks down stairs it makes the "Mario going down a pipe" noise
Little known fact: Argentinians are almost entirely made out of marbles and slime, so when we move we make those sounds.
We need "I Stand Alone" on Criterion!
One of my all time favourite directors
He seems like a pleasant guy, compared to the insane shit he makes
These videos really trigger my ASMR. I wish they were twice as long. I could totally just watch them browsing the collection in silence.
Shit, I would watch that for hours.
I love that he says "movies" not "films"
Please, please, please let this mean we get ENTER THE VOID in the collection.
If Gaspar Noë says "this is such a dark movie" (about Safe), then it must really be!

The way these auteur directors talk about films other than their own is very soothing.
I could watch him talk about movies for hours
wish my closet looked like that
Yeah, I was interested to see what Noe would recommend. I'm not disappointed. Very interesting pics and very much what I imagined Noe would pick.
Damn, I really wanna meet him and talk about weird movies for a couple of hours.
Salo is a nice family movie. Gather as a family with young children you’ll love it.
Pls don’t
There's no cannibalism in The Naked Prey, but it is indeed a masterpiece.
Honestly didn't know anything about this guy, but I loved his voice his energy so maybe I'll check out his picks. I don't even want to say what movie I've seen, not now not EVER to anyone. I feel like FBI or Europol has me on a list right now.
That moment when Gaspar Noé looks you dead in the eye and asks you if those films are scary...I honestly think I'd just dissolve into nothing...
This used to always be me when I started picking out DVD's as a kid.
He removes the DVD's from the shelf so gracefully
Yesterday I watched Salò for the first time, followed by Gaspar's film Climax. It was an intense day
theres something incredible about the way Gaspar Noe acts like a kid in a candy store while looking through the darkest movies ever created. God bless this fucked up man.
I'm still in quarantine watching his picks. Love the guy
Which Is the movie he said it was Korine's favorite french film?
