Past Lives was an emotional experience. So subtle yet had a lot to say about destiny, the roads not taken & empathy towards each other. A quietly powerful film. Celine Song's direction was so self-assured. I'm amazed that this was her first feature film.
I love the energy of Celine in all the roundtable, so bright! 🎉
Totally agree. Celine and Greta Lee exude the same energy. Felt the same in Greta's roundtable with the other powerhouse actresses.
Good job for inviting Justine Triet 👍🏻👍🏻
Past Lives is probably one of the most beautiful romantic movies in existence. I can’t praise it enough.
Soooo great seeing Blitz here. Looking at his humble beginnings in Ghana as an artiste and seeing him here doing great things is such an inspiration ❤
Great roundtable! Celine Song's answer about the husband in Past Lives was so insightful and clever
Michael Mann - must watch, genius director!
Agree with Justine about The Boston Strangler. A very underrated classic, ahead of it's time in terms of style, editing and split screen scenes which has been copied so many times. Tony Curtis should have won an Oscar for his performance.
Thank you Celine Song for my favorite film this year Past Lives
Great roundtable, people assume that Greta and Nolan weren't invited, but maybe they couldn't or declined, telling that, these filmmakers deserve respect and congrats for their work. 😊
Or maybe they are not as thirsty for the Oscar lol.
Greta is part of another roundtable
Greta was in the Hollywood Reporter roundtable
Collateral - Heat - Thief - The Insider - Manhunter
Michael Mann, what a Director 👏
Miami vice and blackhat!
Is nobody going to mention how A. Payne is a spitting image of the young man in 'The Holdovers'. He looks and feels like the grown up version of the boy.
The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall were simply SUPERB!!!! MASTERPIECES!!! A big shout out to Past Lives too which was a tad slow but beautiful!!! Kudos to everyone!!!
One of the best roundtables I've seen. Celine, Alexander, Triet, Blitz... a wonderful cross-section of diverse cinema.
Justine Triet ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unsurprisingly, the two oldest directors, Mann & Payne, seem to be the most laid back & secure. Celine seems to be the most humble. Blitz seems the most happy to be there & soak up knowledge from the other directors. Bradley Cooper seems like he's the most eager to convince people he's a "serious" director.
Bradley Coopers manager was like...... i ll put u with every roundtable... i ll pay them if i have u.... but i ll put u in each of them
I'm glad to see Celine Song at this table. It is kinda weird that Greta or Nolan weren't there, because they are obviously the most successful this year, but it's good to highlight other directors as well.
Not sure how that’s weird? Nolan and Greta don’t have to be in everything just because they made the biggest films. Sometimes you have to represent the people who the make the small ones we might like more and want to hear about more.
Nah greta and chris wouldve ruined it this is an amazing lineup
They should have got Bradley to translate for Justine. The internet would have gone wild 😝
Justine Triet and Sandra Hüller were incredible.
Love this, thank you for bringing all these wonderful directors together
What a great roundtable!
Thanks for posting this interesting roundtable. I'm fortunate to have seen at least a few of the films discussed. In particular, I really admire the direction of Michael Mann and Alexander Payne.
Missing Greta but happy to see Celine and Justine here.
Imagine Greta, Justine, Celine, Fennel, A.V. Rockwell, and Leaf in a roundtable...
Greta is part of another roundtable.
@@beqamarsagishvili6988 I know, it wasn't uploaded yet at the time.
1. Celine is a talented newcomer.
2. Blitz is a solid journeyman director.
3. Michael is a freethinking maverick.
4. Alexander is an experienced auteur.
5. Justine is a freaking Palme d’Or winner.
6. Bradley wants an Oscar.
Huh? What’s the hate against Bradley cooper lately? Seriously ! He is working on his own masterpiece for six years and it’s paid off! Why the hate ?
So person co wrote script, directed, produced and also was the lead actor and learned to play piano and how to conduct and Because of haters of like you couldn't even talk about it?
Is it bad to demonstrate that you want an Oscar by making a good movie? Because, honestly, Maestro is still a good movie, it has a lot o big big scenes and his acting is beautiful
Justine should never have won the Palme d'Or, her film is much better than the previous farces that Cannes has awarded in recent years but there were MUCH better films presented at the festival.
I wish there was a cinematographers roundtable as well
Michael Mann, the Goat.
congratulations everyone
I'm so happy for Bradley Cooper, its awesome to see him grow into a director and producer he's the best. He's still my fav and I could be biased but Nightmare Alley is probably my favorite of his. I know he produced it and obviously Rocket Racoon is adorable/hilarious ❤ Maestro was really good
Great directors all throughout. Love it! ❤
There should be book called: The Transformation of Bradley Cooper! 💯
Wow Bradley Cooper... Again; yeah no chairs, yeah six years, yeah cathedral... But finally some Justine Triet... Glorious ❤
That scene was hilariously bad 😂
@@BehemothianTerror no it wasn't, just because you have no idea about the conducting or you were bored with the film doesn't mean it was bad.
@@BehemothianTerror You'd probably say the real footage of Bernstein conducting in that same cathedral is bad too. Clearly no idea what you're talking about.
Excellent audio edit
why cut these off at 40 min lol, make it an hour at least, for the love of god loll
Great questions
Guys let's chill with all the hate...All these people are remarkable and talented.
Let's focus and even learn and get some rare or valuable insight from this group discussion instead of being angry and hating just bcoz its gives us momentary personal subjective affirmation.
Past Lives was so sweet and full of truth. The end, when they say goodbye, and she goes to her husband and starts crying. I so understood that moment. She lost that little girl, that piece of her past. It's like when you find out, as an adult, that the house you grew up in was torn down or your favorite teacher has passed away. It's sad but there is some closure. She has a chance now to really move forward and form a better, fuller relationship with her husband.
For all of you whining that Nolan isn't here. What else is there to say? His work speaks for itself. It's a critical and box office success. Like if he doesn't win, then there is nothing much else to say.
Alexander Payne sounds like a hoot!!!
I'm really looking forward to watching what Celine will film after this.
alex is so blunt haha I love it
Probably why Sandra divorced him.
Alexander Payne and Michael Mann in a roundtable is late Christmas
All these movies are good 👏👏
This wasn't enjoyable for me. Next time split it into two. Bradley dominated. Blitz was overlooked. Wanted more Michael Mann. .
nice line up
Bravo Justine for the English effort. Excellente réalisatrice mais bon c pas facile pour tout le monde les langues étrangères ! So proud Justine is French like me
I love it that she was inspired by the Amanda Knox story
Can anyone explain to me why so many media outlets and even some famous directors are trying so hard to get Bradley Cooper an Oscar??
He's good in bed and very willing
Its a roundtable. They have these every year. And yall are more obsessed over Bradley and the Oscars than you claim he is. Just stop talking about him if you hate him so much. Jesus!
Yes, "it's a company town", that's why.
Because he deserves it!
There is something very inspiring in seeing someone reinventing themselves, owning a new professional direction with such mastery, so that is surprising. Both of his films are excellent, poignant and very well crafted. Maestro is especially beautiful.
@@davidlovesfilm Well, anyone who quotes the great scholar and philosopher Lady Gaga should be really taken seriously and his sensibilities must be respected.
Bradley Cooper is amazing! They all are wonderful!!
True... Very True
Does anyone have a timestamp for where Cooper talks to Mann about the Public Enemies audition and the letter?
wanted Alexander to talk for 10+ minutes about Dominic Sessa
I wanted the same from Justine Triet to talk about Messi, the dog from "Anatomy of a Fall". He was incredible, not to mention his trainers who coached him. I'd not seen canine acting that mesmerizing since John Carpenter's "The Thing".
Alexander Payne 💜
What's the music playing at the end?
Outstanding. DIVROL❤❤❤❤
Greta & Chris did so much press for their respective films , maybe they felt another round table was redundant. The directors in this one each deserve to be heard . I’m also thinking when your films gross billions world wide what’s left to say ??
I think Christopher Nolan shouldered so much press when the actors went on strike. He's taking a back seat now and letting them do the campaigning. I'm sure when the noms get announced they will all campaign together.
They both might be doing The Hollywood Reporter’s directors’ roundtable instead; there is usually not much overlap in the participants.
@@hupotasso4705I was gonna say it’s probably Nolan, Greta, Scorsese, Ridley, Yorgos and maybe like Emerald Fennel
Celine Song
Alexander Payne (whose films I love) comes off as a jerk on the relatability question. As someone who was thinking about being a journalist, he should understand that some of these obvious questions are for an audience’s benefit, not for his.
I thought he came across as a prick multiple times.
I feel like this roundtable was just getting started, and then it was over. Far too short!
Wow Alexander Payne hates this interviewer’s questions!
little bit cocky!!!!!
So happy to hear from Justine Triet, Celine Song, & Michael Mann!
Martin Scorsese, Sofia Coppola, Christopher Nolan, Todd Haynes, Yorgos Lanthimos, Emerald Fennell, Greta Gerwig, Ira Sachs, or Ridley Scott should have been here instead of Alexander Payne & Bradley Cooper to be honest.
Bradley comes off just way too desperate as a “I’m a director take me seriously!!” type. Like he’s always trying to prove himself.
So if they invited him with these amazing directors that's a huge honor and you wanted him to say no?
He's a nice guy but yeah, he comes across as a bit desperate, I agree. I don't get it though, I don't get why he is so eager to prove himself with directing. He has no artistic base and there is no indication that he ever wanted to be a filmmaker before acting. I don't get it. He's a good looking man who's reached the top of Hollywood, why try to be a director? To satisfy his own ego? If he really wants to be useful he'd be better at taking a leaf out of Brad Pitt's book and helping to produce projects. I'm sure he could help get a lot of films made due to his reputation.
Am I the only who thinks Payne was an asshole in his treatment of the moderator?
wait was was the second film Justine mentioned after opening night ?
The Boston Strangler
nice roundtabel , first Visit here - me German Grandfather, - nice Welcome in LA for Justine and the eurpean Film, 👏
I feel very spoiled having listened to Bong Joon Ho and his interpreter Sharon Choi for so long that I kind of feel bad for Justine Triet that her interpreter (who im sure is a lovely person) doesn't seem as well practiced or able to articulate to what she said as smoothly. roundtables as a format are largely inaccessible to directors who are non-english speakers and i think there needs to be a better way of figuring that out especially as non-english movies are becoming more popular and accessible with english speaking audiences.
27:24 - Say what? "Cars", "Herbie: Fully Loaded", "The Love Bug", every "Fast & Furious movie". "Death Race 2000". All of those made money. Even "Talladega Nights" and Ron Howard's "Rush" were modest successes.
Yeah what is he on about. Old man rambling ,
But on a more serious note, Ferrari is nothing at all like those movies. They all have cars. But Ferrari is a character study about Enzo Ferrari. Not sure why there is a generalization of all car movies.
Can we pls have for series as well especially Matt bomer and Jonathan Bailey for fellow travelers
They do television roundtable around Emmy season.
@@pandycious I hope they have both of them and not just one
No Jonathon Grazer? Damn.
no Barbenheimer 🥺
🤮 i hate those movies.
@@Ireneadler18 tough tiddies
I haven't seen half these films. I love Bradley but I definitely fell asleep halfway through the movie, it was filmed great though I will say. Blitz did a colorful fantastic retelling of missing pieces from the original color purple.
Maestro is a masterpiece
Please spare this incredible talent these branded mugs in so many shots. Glass is so much more classy, have a logo in the back Los Angeles Times
Really weird Greta and Nolan weren't there
4:26 20:14
Where is Christopher Nolan?
nobody cares about him.
Where on earth is Nolan??
@davidlovesfilmhow do you know he wasn't invited? Did he come out and say that? And how is this line up lazy? Lazy is just getting the front runners in a room and talking. And this is coming from a Nolan fangirl.
@@davidlovesfilm I think you're taking this way too personally.... it's possible the big name directors didn't want to be there. Tarantino hasn't been invited to one since 2015 and it wouldn't surprise me if he just doesn't like sharing the spotlight seeing how he loves the spotlight on him and not sharing it. It's possible these other big name directors have their own reason. Scorsese is 80 and who at that age wants to be traveling everywhere for every interview you're invited to
Nobody cares.
Alexander Payne so underrated
Great to see so many amazing directors together, but any Director's roundtable without either Greta Gerwig or Chris Nolan feels incomplete in my opinion.
I am most excited to watch Alexander Payne's The Holdovers.
@davidlovesfilm I think Blitz Bazawule deserves to be there, I am hearing nothing but great things about The Color Purple. Just wish they had one of the two there as well.
There is a American murder case that remembers about 10 years or more. The man was convinced of murdering his wife on a camping trip alone after quite a few years marriage. He was convicted of murder after the second time of doing this because his children accused him murder
Greta is in the THR roundtable coming up. Calm down, people.
when is that coming out? and will Nolan be there?
@@amadeusmalonje6948 No Nolan. It says on their site it’ll be out in January.
You have to improve on formulating questions, some are just trite.
Actors - wow, people who pretend. Let’s treat them like gods 😂😂😂
he didn't give Blitz much attention at all
Lol Bradley Cooper does not like Alexander Payne.
Everyone speaks French there or what? Hahaha
Ya’ll just ripping off THR now 😂
Bradley Cooper tries so hard to make everyone not act, and yet all I see from him is acting
Yes. Bradley's acting in Maestro is so unconvincing and forced it's hard to take him seriously.
@@MissjunebugfreakI thought he did well as the older Bernstein BUT I do think it would have been better if he cast someone else in the role and stuck to direction 😫🙈
If you don't like Bradley don't watch his movies or videos. You have no idea about cinema.
because you don't know anything about cinema. stfu@@Missjunebugfreak
@@SOI-wl2lo His older Bernstein voice was super distracting. Sounded like he had a blocked nose the whole time. I do agree Bradley probably should have stuck to direction and had someone else play the role but his vanity wouldn't allow that to happen. He's very desperate for the Oscar lol.
Cut that music down bro wtf
Needed Nolan on this panel and not Bradley Cooper who will be harping on how hard he worked for that Cathedral scene. 'Mastero' movie is mid, a clear Oscar bait. Hope Acadamy won't fall for it but I highly doubt it.
@davidlovesfilmracist
Como entendedor de filme voce deve ser um otimo mecanico
Okay , so anyone who does not like the color purple is racist ? Grow up … the first one was a beautiful movie with stellar performances from the cast
To make it a musical is a mockery of the story .
On the other hand, Nolan has such a big ego that he can't make a roundtable. Insufferable, him and his film.
Again with the no chairs on set... Bradley needs to be less cringy and desperate for an Acadamy award.
Do not be ignorant. If you don't understand what he means, don't give your opinion. You give cringe.
This video is 50% a roundtable and 50% a puff piece for Bradley Cooper. They appealed too much to his ego and his forced awards campaign in this video.
In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. A third of all these deaths are in the neonatal period. 0:22
Since 2013 I lost interest in Movies
Are Hollywood people still making gud movies with fresh themes?
And yet here you are commenting on an industry roundtable with Hollywood directors. The lack of self-awareness is hilarious. 😂
Bradley Cooper is overrated
Almost every single film that has come out of Hollywood over the past 10+ years has been garbage. I tried finding an English speaking, recently released film to watch this evening, and couldn't find a one. I just shook my head, disgusted, as I scrolled through the listings. Utter garbage. As a HUGE film buff, and having graduated university many years ago where I studied film history, video editing and production, multimedia, graphic design and fine art, I'm just insulted and so very disappointed with today's film making. Everything is stupid and broken anymore. And, it happened so quickly, right before our eyes. So, it's been older films and reruns for me.
What did you think of TAR last year? I think it was near perfect film with an astounding performance at the centre.
Cool story bro
You are not a HUGE film buff if you think there are no great films anymore. Just 2023 alone was a great year for cinema
@@MrKadirbey bro really said the past 10 years!! There have been countless dope ass films that have come out in that span. I guess its just best to let people believe their lies at times 😂
Someone clearly hasn’t seen The Meg
Celine Song and Blitz Bazawule do not belong with these other talented filmmakers. They have not made great films. Past lives is one of the worst films of the year. Mann, Payne, Cooper and even Triet are welcome. still, I love all these conversations even if they can't have all winners. Overall a great conversation.
Past Lives was amazing. It's one of the most critically acclaimed films of the year so you are objectively wrong. And based on the Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes & Letterboxd scores a lot of people agree. Just say you were too dense to get it & go! 😂
Also, what a coincidence that its the non-white directors you've singled out. I wonder why? 🙄
@@davidlovesfilmlies
if you thought past lives was one of the worst ones of the year, i'd like to hear what you thought was better lmao
@@johnconnor4749 lol when people go out of their way to make a comment on every other comment hating on certain directors you just have let them go off cause they are on a mission 😂
😐Okay that’s your opinion. Everyone has their own personal preference, what you find deserving others may find it undeserving. It’s no big deal.
