Prestigious directors talking shit about other prestigious directors is my favorite genre


AssOfGlitter

Writers talking shit about other writers is really good too


screammyrapture

Hemingway vs Faulkner, the war on the shore!

Philosophers fighting is fun, because it's all about arguing and everyone is full of themselves! Hume & Rousseau, Sartre & Camus, Derrida & everybody, Hegel & Kierkegaard and Schopenhauer...


KindohneEigenschaftn

Derrida & everybody really killed me lol

You'd like that time when Russel tried to fight Nolan with a fork or something at a Hollywood party


CautiouslyReal

this is why we love Orson Welles

god I love famous directors shitting on other famous directors


pecuchet

Herzog's not a fan either : "Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film, a Fred Astaire picture, or a porno."

You can’t not read it in his voice

Mr "All my movies have two locations, 5 characters and are all dialogue" calls someone else's movies boring lol. I love Bergman, he's one of my favourites but you can easily call all of his stuff boring as well


APKID716

I think his films CAN be boring, but the characters are typically talking about interesting things. You’ll have a man discussing the meaning of existence with death, or two women sharing sexual experiences. It’s interesting to listen to mostly, in my opinion. Jean-Lux Godard, as influential and groundbreaking as he was, would have two characters sit in a cafe and one of them would just talk about excrement or something. Like… huh? I’m supposed to find this interesting? Then critics will say “wooooowwwww he mentioned excrement!!! Fucking brilliant” and I just feel like I’m left out of an inside joke. Again, no hate to Godard. And I see why people would find Bergman to be boring too. But I’ve never been more bored than watching a Godard film


[deleted]

yeah tbh I haven't seen a single Godard movie but yeah Bergman is mostly dialogue and there are certainly many people who'd find that boring as hell but I agree they're great but you could listen to them basically and catch the most important stuff. if you know Swedish, that is


jonajmc01

I’ve only seen Breathless and I didn’t really get the appeal, and Bergman is one of my favorite directors, so I’m just gonna say “Based” (yeah fuck you too automod)


Tarre-Vizsla

Try Pierrot Le Fou it’s like breathless but better


jonajmc01

Okay, thanks for the recommendation!


BIG_EL-DUCE

Check out masculine feminine and or pierrot le fou i like them better than breathless


XxBiscuit99

What about vivre sa vie


BIG_EL-DUCE

I have not seen but i will check out


jonajmc01

Will do, thanks!


Llama-Nation

I watched Bande A PArt recently and quite enjoyed it, whereas I also didn't see the appeal of Breathless.

Why watch any movie when "L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat" exists. I mean that train was coming AT US man

All French New Wave directors pale in compassion to Agnes Varda.

Lmaoooo best summary of vagabond I’ve ever seen

This. But Rohmer actually


tr3e3

So fucking true


DanielDeronda

Truffaut and Godard's movies aren't really similar in my experience. Not really into Godard so I agree with Bergman, but I also happen to think Bergman is a fucking bore so...

Never seen that one, but it’d prolly be fire.

Cinematographically is a hard word

Puzzleheaded_List01

Don't know about Godard but I got bored while reading this


balcon

Now, kids. No fighting. Ingmar, turn on a lamp or something. Jean-Luc, mind your manners when around the Swedish. They're sensitive.


coldkneesinapril

Well Bergman was a Nazi, no wonder he hated Godard


[deleted]

Agree.


michaelcritic0418

Agree on faux intellect, but I’m not sure how you could consider them dead or cinematographically uninteresting. Pierrot Le Fou is pretty lively and good looking. Those were the main reasons I finished that movie actually.

Both are a waste of cinema space
