Don’t agree with this assertion. Genuinely don’t understand how Luca could call filmmakers like Ozu or, Bresson even, maximalists, when their entire philosophy was to pare away the trappings of filmmaking down to its simplest form. To strip it bare, so all that’s left is deeply felt human emotion, not fancy camerawork or stylish editing.
Evidently what Luca means is that Ozu, Bresson, Bergman are maximalists in the sense that they go all in on their own vision of the language of cinema, defend radical choices (both artistic and in their philosophy of filmmaking) and don't settle for average. Not necessarily the right word, but I see his point.
He has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, Bresson cannot be a maximalist, since all his work, from framing, sound, the models (method of acting that he created) is based on austerity and minimalism. Luca, have somebody to show you and make you understand, the greatest filmmakers of all time.
It takes us interesting places and i'm glad to hear how he thinks. But it should be established that all that happens at the beginning here is he changes the language game by redefining the word, referring to something else. he uses maximalism to mean extremity of personality, a revolutionary style, a highly free creativity. Most people however use the term to refer to a particular crowdedness or streamlining within certain formal elements; plot, visuals, speech, sets, etc. It is a way to talk about the difference in artistic forms that a creator tends to use, a way to compare styles. Guadagnini's usage can be interesting but you no longer are comparing between great styles by using it, at all. And imagine if we used both senses at once, Ozu would be a maximalist minimalist. maximalist (because he maximized the unfolding of his whole creative soul) minimalist (because the films are formally spare.)
@@wngbjngwwgkabsolutely and well said. Maximalism in the sense of a filmmakers soul. Not the movie it produces. That’s why maximalist such as Nolan had such success his first full-length film Following. He was maximalist in spite of the external constraints.

To be fair, he didn't mention Bresson here. He said that Ozu, Rohmer and Bergman were maximalists.
Try to listen more carefully maybe, ge didn’t mention Bresson even once.
Coverage is for the cowards - Yes.
Hmmm he kinda contradicted himself later as challengers is a much more prepped film.
Makes sense since Challengers was his worst film
@@outlandosdamour Challengers is deadly, he has earlier films which are much worse.
Yet his most maximalist
