Nick: Coming across more like a health professional in his questioning style. Dr Refn.

Hahah I love how he goofs on this arrogant, pretentious Danish host 🤣🤣 “..David”

1:36:27 well, that statement aged like milk.

It looks like Billy’s final film made his directorial filmography an even 20. RIP you legend.

Why is Nicolas so unbelievably try hard and cringe. “We as filmmakers are celluloid dreams”….”hah”. What do you say to such a fake deep opener to an interview. Nicolas is a different side of the “film bro” archetype, the type that has done the studying but is so incompetent that he has to make movies and talk as if he were a prophet when in actually he comes off like a pretentious clown. He seems to be as insufferable as his filmmaking. “Like a destiny concept like it was meant to be”… *waits for a reaction from Kenneth*… nothing… realizes or neglects to realize that what he said was pseudo intellectual and something you’d hear from anybody who wants to appear smarter than they are. The forced chuckles from Anger say it all. Unbearably insipid interviewer, but genius interviewee.

They got their ukrainian war in the end

Nicholas Winding Refn is one of the best popular voices we have today in the film world.

It seems that Refn wanted to extract Noe's technique, but he asked too directly. I would imagine that he should have been subtle.

The interviewer is insufferable. Takes forever to get out a question.

why? why did you make that film, why Ryan gosling?

this is the most Saturday Night Live (wanna fight) I have ever seen

The goats

This was so good for me to hear that I can't describe it in words. I dream of making films. My mother is a nurse, my father died when I was young. I'm going on an adventure with my backpack. Wish me luck.

"We have no control over our lives " . An absolutely true and honest statement which I keep saying to myself whenever I look back and analyse my life and the stupid mistakes that I have unwittingly made . All I can agree is that they were completely out of my control . Sadly the audio quality could have been rectified.

😯😯😯😯😯😯

I've seen Gaspar Noé compared to Nicholas Winding Refn before, but I wonder how much of that comparison has to do with their usages of violence, and maybe colour? Because beyond that, I wouldn't really liken their films. Refn (and I say this as someone who really likes his movies) belongs very much to the artsploitation class like Dario Argento and Tinto Brass. Whereas if I had to find Noé a spiritual counterpart, this maybe a hot take, but I'd go with Rickard Linklater. Tonally, the two couldn't be further apart: Noé practically lives in the darkness, whilst Linklater is light, and real-life, almost to the point of being mundane [but never committing the sin of being boring]. However, both Linklater and Noé seem determined to represent certain aspects of life (and death), that we seldom get to see, and most importantly, to do it _truthfully._ They are both directors who use their cameras to capture truthful moments and emotions, and tell stories that ring equally true... even if that story is about a soul being ejected from its body and drifting through time and space. Even their explorations of time, whilst wildly different in approach, arrive at similar places. _Irreversible_ ends on a card that reads "Le temps détruit tous." ("Time destroys everything") but Noé has said, in interviews that the card almost read "Le temps dévore tous." ("Time devours everything"). Now watch _Boyhood_ or even the _Before_ trilogy and try not to see the Wolf of Time lurking in the background. In short, Linklater and Noé may be telling fictional stories, but they refuse to lie.

RIP, a great storyteller.

Refn's a narcissistic, pretentious, name-dropping twit, but Friedkin is a joy to listen to.

RIP

Nice living room.

To bad they (The Business) will not work w/ Writers that are on strike.....Wow they need their help....

Why is it so hard to hear Kenneth and the interviewer is loud and clear? Amateurs..

love anger, forever. cant stand refn

Wait.. Stranger Things music? 😅

Does anyone know the names of the paintings in the background? Primarily the the two big ones directly behind them when the camera's cut to the Anger and the interviewer's close ups. Thank you!

The audio is horrible

When the voice is low, put there subs at least!

hello! if you can put the subtitle, like the 2 others part, it's great ! Thanks

who is Andre Kenneth talks about on 13:23 ?

Paintings aren't like a pre-photography snapshot at all. Look at that painting behind him for example.

Thanks for putting this incredible interview on KZbin. It's really an amazing interview!

I love Billy Friedkin because I think that he has an almost perfect demeanor. He exudes an alpha quality without the attributes that would normally be associated with a powerful person, Like aggression or judgement . I've worked in film for over 35 years and would love to sit and talk with him.

Friedkin and Kid Refn

i always felt the same about paintings. capturing....not a moment in time but more so a moment in time in the artists head. they don't make art like they did hundreds & hundreds of years ago.

Love this guy.

Maestro meets Maestro

Can't believe this guy is 81. Maybe i do have a bit of time left after all.

Just annoying that the author didn't read a single book about the Danish volunteers. No mention om Demjansk, but war crimes and even service at Stalingrad.... Disappointment!

these two alone create 95% of the business in the neon lights industry

I can hear him fearlessly speak his mind all day long

The moment anger talks is like, you almost feel like saying to yourself (shh.. a genius is talking!) you gotta hear this instead of typing it in your cellphone for other people to read it.

The anecdote of the riot between the (white) sailors versus the Mexican zoot suit(er)s (-> an expressive clothing style back then in the 1940s) as Kenneth's inspiration for his official debut "Fireworks" (1947) doesn't sound like one of his usual myths. In addition to his queer underground short it's important to know. Thank you! PS: for me, Kenneth Anger will always be a rebel in its best sense.

The audio is horrible!!!

Cool

I don't know why Refn thinks movies should be seen in small screens...his films are specifically made to be watched on the biggest screens possible.

Gaspard Noe was extremely inspired by the first Pusher film from Refn. That is very clear… however Noe has a more Extreme approach than Refn does. I think they are hard to compare.

Awesome.

two of the most polarising directors of all time, love it that they know who they are as directors and dont give a shit what people think of it.

Noé: “Nowadays people care more about the timing of a movie than the quality” Refn: “I like that.” 😐
