Was Andrei Tarkovsky "our guy"?

Jesus Christ, that makes me unironically love him.

>it's a Rerberg beats Tarkovsky up and he sulks in his room for weeks episode

Filmmaker insults another filmmaker thread?

1. Francois Truffaut on Michelangelo Antonioni:
“Antonioni is the only important director I have nothing good to say about. He bores me; he’s so solemn and humorless.”

2. Ingmar Bergman on Michelangelo Antonioni:
“Fellini, Kurosawa, and Bunuel move in the same field as Tarkovsky. Antonioni was on his way, but expired, suffocated by his own tediousness.”

3. Ingmar Berman on Orson Welles:
“For me he’s just a hoax. It’s empty. It’s not interesting. It’s dead. Citizen Kane, which I have a copy of — is all the critics’ darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it’s a total bore. Above all, the performances are worthless. The amount of respect that movie’s got is absolutely unbelievable.”

4. Ingmar Bergman on Jean-Luc Godard:
“I’ve never gotten anything out of his movies. They have felt constructed, faux intellectual, and completely dead. Cinematographically uninteresting and infinitely boring. Godard is a fucking bore. He’s made his films for the critics. One of the movies, Masculin, Féminin, was shot here in Sweden. It was mind-numbingly boring.”

5. Orson Welles on Jean-Luc Godard:
“His gifts as a director are enormous. I just can’t take him very seriously as a thinker — and that’s where we seem to differ, because he does. His message is what he cares about these days, and, like most movie messages, it could be written on the head of a pin.”

6. Werner Herzog on Jean-Luc Godard:
“Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung-fu film.”

7. Jean-Luc Godard on Quentin Tarantino:
“Tarantino named his production company after one of my films. He’d have done better to give me some money.”

8. Harmony Korine on Quentin Tarantino:
“Quentin Tarantino seems to be too concerned with other films. I mean, about appropriating other movies, like in a blender. I think it’s, like, really funny at the time I’m seeing it, but then, I don’t know, there’s a void there. Some of the references are flat, just pop culture.”

9. Nick Broomfield on Quentin Tarantino:
“It’s like watching a schoolboy’s fantasy of violence and sex, which normally Quentin Tarantino would be wanking alone to in his bedroom while this mother is making his baked beans downstairs. Only this time he’s got Harvey Weinstein behind him and it’s on at a million screens.”

10. Spike Lee on Quentin Tarantino (and the “n-word” in his scripts):
“I’m not against the word, and I use it, but not excessively. And some people speak that way. But, Quentin is infatuated with that word. What does he want to be made — an honorary black man?”

11. Spike Lee on Tyler Perry:
“We got a black president, and we going back to Mantan Moreland and Sleep ‘n’ Eat?”

12. Tyler Perry on Spike Lee
“Spike can go straight to hell! You can print that… Spike needs to shut the hell up!”

13. Clint Eastwood on Spike Lee:
“A guy like him should shut his face.”

14. Jacques Rivette on Stanley Kubrick:
“Kubrick is a machine, a mutant, a Martian. He has no human feeling whatsoever. But it’s great when the machine films other machines, as in 2001.”

15. Jacques Rivette on James Cameron (and Steven Spielberg):
“Cameron isn’t evil, he’s not an asshole like Spielberg. He wants to be the new De Mille. Unfortunately, he can’t direct his way out of a paper bag. “

16. Jean-Luc Godard on Steven Spielberg:
“I don’t know him personally. I don’t think his films are very good.”

>look mom Inposted it again

truffaut and bergman hit the nail on the head with antonioni

17. Alex Cox on Steven Spielberg:
“Spielberg isn’t a filmmaker, he’s a confectioner.”

18. Tim Burton on Kevin Smith (after Smith jokingly accused Burton of stealing the ending of Planet of the Apes from a Smith comic book):
“Anyone who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I would especially never read anything created by Kevin Smith.”

19. Kevin Smith on Tim Burton (in response to “I would never read a comic book”):
“Which, to me, explains fucking Batman.”

20. Kevin Smith on Paul Thomas Anderson (specifically, Magnolia):
“I’ll never watch it again, but I will keep it. I’ll keep it right on my desk, as a constant reminder that a bloated sense of self-importance is the most unattractive quality in a person or their work.”

21. David Gordon Green on Kevin Smith:
“He kind of created a Special Olympics for film. They just kind of lowered the standard. I’m sure their parents are proud; it’s just nothing I care to buy a ticket for.”

22. Vincent Gallo on Spike Jonze:
“He’s the biggest fraud out there. If you bring him to a party he’s the least interesting person at the party, he’s the person who doesn’t know anything. He’s the person who doesn’t say anything funny, interesting, intelligent… He’s a pig piece of shit.”

23. Vincent Gallo on Martin Scorsese:
“I wouldn’t work for Martin Scorsese for $10 million. He hasn’t made a good film in 25 years. I would never work with an egomaniac has-been.”

24. Vincent Gallo on Sofia (and Francis Ford) Coppola:
“Sofia Coppola likes any guy who has what she wants. If she wants to be a photographer she’ll fuck a photographer. If she wants to be a filmmaker, she’ll fuck a filmmaker. She’s a parasite just like her fat, pig father was.”

25. Vincent Gallo on Abel Ferrara:
“Abel Ferrara was on so much crack when I did The Funeral, he was never on set. He was in my room trying to pick-pocket me.”

And the last part

26. Werner Herzog on Abel Ferrara:
“I have no idea who Abel Ferrara is. But let him fight the windmills… I’ve never seen a film by him. I have no idea who he is. Is he Italian? Is he French? Who is he?”

27. David Cronenberg on M. Night Shymalan:
“I HATE that guy! Next question.”

28. Alan Parker on Peter Greenaway (specifically The Draughtsman’s Contact):
“A load of posturing poo-poo.”

29. Ken Russell on Sir Richard Attenborough:
“Sir Richard (‘I’m-going-to-attack-the-Establishment-fifty-years-after-it’s-dead’) Attenborough is guilty of caricature, a sense of righteous self-satisfaction, and repetition which all undermine the impact of the film.”

30. Uwe Boll on Michael Bay:
“I’m not a fucking retard like Michael Bay.”

Well bring new ones, tough guy. These are the only ones around for years.

>Did he actually die not knowing he was a hack?

Kek, always gets me. Truly Tarkovsky was Cred Forums incarnate

Based Gallo calling it as it is

>talking shit about yefremov

WHAT THE FUCK NIGGA

He's horrible though.

>Kubrick is a machine, a mutant, a Martian. He has no human feeling whatsoever. But it’s great when the machine films other machines, as in 2001.
This sounds like a compliment to me.

Nobody asked you to pod that shit retard.

Fucking redditcucks looking for reactions. Fuck off.

*post

kek

>Spike can go straight to hell! You can print that… Spike needs to shut the hell up
kek

Why are you so butthurt user?

he's a bitter hack, famn

>everybody hates that pompous ass faggot Godard
>Vincent Gallo hates everyone
>Herzog has mad bantz

Mr Bergman, I love you so much and I homage'd you in my movie Killer's Kiss.

please, respond

He never did

What have you even watched from Godard?

From John Carpenter:
> I haven’t gone in a long time [to a Masters of Horror dinner. I went to the first few and it was a lot of fun. [...] Then, it sort of became something else. I think the night that got me — David Cronenberg showed up. And he’s an old friend of mine. And unfortunately, he takes himself so seriously these days... He’s an artist now. And literally, he was holding court in the middle of the room, so I came over to talk to him. And he didn’t look at me. And I thought, this is enough of this, forget it, goodbye. And I walked out, I thought, I don’t need this anymore. And you know, fine, Eli Roth with his Hollywood hair... Darren Aronofsky, secretly I think hates horror films… Let the geniuses go. Let them go — let them be geniuses. I’ll stay home.

TARANTINO BTFOH

Maybe, but the stuff he said there was still pretty damn on point

>“I’m not a fucking retard like Michael Bay.”
>proceeds to make bombs both commercially and critically
>his best movie was "good. not great but good"

top fucking lmfao

Jesus Christ all these directors are self absorbed cunts

How would you know? Except for the scorsese statement

Not that guy, but I recently got interested in him. Do you have anything to recommend?

Call me a pleb or w/e but I'm really liking Malick right now, and a bit of Iñarritu. Yeah I'm a newbie, and I know how much they get from people Tarkovsky etc, but you got anything I'd like from Goddard in that vein?

Because you spammed up what could have been a good thread.

>no Kaurismaki quotes
shid lisd :D :D :D

Not him but watch him chronologically. I haven't seen them all yet, the last one was The Carabineers i think, and not a single one was bad.

The only film of his I somehow managed to finish was "A bout de souffle". Didn't love it didn't hate it. Films I failed to finish:
>une femme est une femme
>les carabiniers
>la chinoise
>film socialisme
>Pierrot le fou

He's fucking awful.

>First movies are good
>skip his Maoism phase
>try to watch something from him since the 80s.
>If not your thing, stop and use your time in better directors like Truffaut.

I've noticed a lot of people who work in this industry are like that. From directors to DPs, even to grips and fucking ACs. I have no idea where this attitude comes from.

One other thing I've noticed - all these guys act like this work is the hardest fucking thing, as if the pressure they have is incomparable - none of them know a thing about true hard work usch as labor, so they act like the sheltered spoiled kids that they are. The movie industry is like 90% spoiled brats and 5% regular, working people with the last 5% being people who actually had to struggle in some hard-ass situation. Guess where the best films come out of.

That was not me. And it's a better thread now anyway, take your butthurt to some other place you silly fag.

Just watch Hail Mary for faps

>Dropped Pierrot le fou
wtf fám? What are some movies and directors you like?

>that Carpenter feel

Tarkovsky was based as fuck
>Although strongly opposed to commercial cinema, in a famous exception Tarkovsky praised the blockbuster film The Terminator, saying its "vision of the future and the relation between man and its destiny is pushing the frontier of cinema as an art". He was critical of the "brutality and low acting skills", but nevertheless impressed by this film.

lmao
How about no u cucklet

Ironically my favorite is Herzog. Seconded by Wong Kar Wai, Kurosawa, Park Chan Wook and Leone.

Wait, cucklet? Is this a mesh of manlet and cuck? I'm not even pissed I'm impressed. And sauce on he qt.

lots of great people have just as many vices as they do have greatness.

Just look at Kubrick. Great film-maker and seemed quite sensible in his outlook and opinions, but there's no suggestion he got less ruthless with his colleagues as time moved on and forced everyone to work 18-hour days (including himself).

They have this inner drive that overwhelms everything else.

>being this much of a newfag
No source for you fuccboi

>newfag

You gave yourself away user

>Tim Burton on Kevin Smith (after Smith jokingly accused Burton of stealing the ending of Planet of the Apes from a Smith comic book):

>Kevin Smith on Tim Burton (in response to “I would never read a comic book”):

based kev

18 hour days doing a shoot is fucking nothing though. The people who actually have to do labor during those shoots (grip) are still doing minimal labor.

Jesus Christ dude, lurk before you start posting

>lots of great people have just as many vices as they do have greatness.

True, but this often becomes distorted by the teenage boys who are - let's be honest here - the primary audience for auteur-focused film journalism into 'I'm too spoiled to bother being civil to people, therefore I must be a genius'.

I have honestly never seen cucklet posted in my life and have been for too long to be proud of.

Just stop posting

>“Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung-fu film.”

friccin nailed it

Breathless, Pierrot le Fou, Vivre sa Vie, A Woman is a Woman, Masculin Féminin, 2 ou 3 Choses Que Je Sais d'elle, Histoire(s) du Cinéma

They're all basically 7s for the formal experimentation
No emotion, no real feeling

This is cute

My man.

>everyone doesnt immediately drop to their knees and make an O shape with their mouth when the motherfucker that made The Thing walks in the room

fucking disrespectful children
