Alfonso Cuarón and Gaspar Noé discuss Gravity | BFI IMAX Q&A

[@blafoobob8898]

I was genuinely touched by Noe's story of how Cuaron's silly movie helped him to some degree during a terrifying time in his life.

[@michaelpfogerty]

I love that Gaspar embraces CGI as a means to make movies more cinematic. Some directors are snobs and think if it's not practical effects done on 35 or 70mm, it's not cinematic. Gaspar doesn't care how it's made as long as it's powerful and exuberant filmmaking 🔥🎞️❤️‍🔥

[@TheEnnisfan]

Thank you, BFI. I'm actually more impressed that Noe has seen Gravity cos he doesn't consume Hollywood movies at all. 😂 I almost wish this conversation had been over Children of Men instead, but I'll take what I can get.

[@bolshevi3187]

Yes children of men would have been a sensational discussion. Such a great film, better when I watch it each time

[@nickvanamstel]

I have such a clear memory of watching Gravity in the theatre the weekend it came out and having such a feeling of happiness. I was so fucking happy watching it, I couldn't stop smiling. I was happy for Cuaron because he had created that magic that people always talk about movies being.

Two Spanish speakers from South America talking film in English in London I love the BFI so much!

[@TheEnnisfan]

Nope. Wrong. Mexico is North America. North America is made up of Canada, the US, and Mexico. Central America starts with Guatemala and ends with Panama. @@nickolaskerria2963

[@foglias]

Mexico is located in North America, not Central, not South. A better way to express it would be "Two Spanish speakers from Latin America...".

[@TheEnnisfan]

That's exactly what I told them. These people failed at Geography. 😂@@foglias

[@nickolaskerria2963]

Mexico is only considered to be in the continent of north america and not regionally south america because the Union fought a war to take Texas and Mexico was considered north American with Texas included and since it was taken Mexico is still considered north American. You're welcome. @@foglias

[@pignna]

@@nickolaskerria2963that’s not true, South America starts on the south side of Panama

[@kre_dopeprod.3766]

Gaspard is so frank it’s amazing

[@kelownatechkid]

both directors are masters of 3D!!!

[@diegocortes3592]

dream blunt rotation

[@kevenrodas7]

I kinda don’t trust doing drugs close to Noe’s proximity…

[@maimoneattia]

I f$&@n love Gravity. I see it often. And I'm a big fan of Cuaron and find his approach and sensibility very inspiring. Haven't yet seen Gaspar Noe's films. They're on my list.

[@andrewortiz7559]

You’re in for a ride when you do !! ❤️😵‍💫

[@ignaciod06]

you should watch Irreversible, Enter the void, you are gonna hate those two, and then watch Climax, you gonna love that one, but first hate the others.

[@enricopo5325]

@@ignaciod06I like climax but enter the void and irreversible are art objects on an entirely different level.

[@whydirected]

This conversation it's cinema by it self

[@sausage_and_peppers]

No

[@kslal8269]

Oh ma god... couldn't get this on time.....bothof them are so inspiring...., Intellectual persons...❤ Their movie subject, making style....💕🎯

[@antoinepetrov]

The two greatest Latin American filmmakers together, talking. Incredible.

[@nickolaskerria2963]

Well, one central and one southern. And since Argentina and Mexico both have French ancestry, they could be very distant cousins. Cuarón is Celtic Spanish, so he is specifically Spanish even though raised in Mexico. Noe' is specifically French (his name means 'Noah' in French specifically), hence why he loves France and French so much, even though he was born in Argentina. Only Brazil, Colombia, and Peru are proud to be from the country they are from typically. Peru is the only country besides Brasil proud of their native heritage. Else, like most poor people in the (US) states or from any country, everyone wants to leave because their country is economically broken either by corruption or extreme lack of economical knowledge from politicians how to properly run a country. But since the Americas are dominately not Islamic, and besides crime, the Americas south are normally the most friendly places on earth besides a lot of Asian countries.

[@TheEnnisfan]

Wrong. Mexico is North America. North America is made up of Canada, the US, and Mexico. Central America starts with Guatemala and ends with Panama.

[@foglias]

@@nickolaskerria2963 Cuarón was born and raised in Mexico, so he's Mexican. Ascendency has no place in this discussion. It's like saying "I'm specifically Italian even though I was raised in Mexico" because of my last name is from Italy. And btw, Mexico is located in North America, not Central America.

[@nickolaskerria2963]

so those born in South Africa are authentic African? It is opinion and fair, yes. Did you ask him or you are just assuming because of the internet? Have an original thought for once in your life and stop assuming people are different just because they are from a different place. Mexico was colonialized by the Spanish and they still have an authentic native community but they are racially discriminated against and not allowed into most of society. But keep being ignorant, I'm sure living in the darkness of stupidity and never seeing the light of truth because you are got talented enough to avoid anything real in your life, well, it must be really easy being you and never having to work to know anything. @@foglias a place doesn't make a man, a man makes a place. If Noe identifies himself as French then he is French because why not, his name is French, he speaks French, he has got Frankish ancestry, he would say he is French Argentinian, French born in Argentina living the rest of his life out as himself in France. Saying one is Spanish is irrelevant because Spanish DNA is all over the world. Was it by consent? Probably not. Was it by colonialization? Si'.

[@axlosauro]

Cuaron at the very end being like "Nah fuck Rollerball" lmao

[@aliendrone]

Wow this is cool ! Great stuff that Gaspar enjoyed Gravity ! I loved it in the cinema too ! Watched it twice when it was released !

[@FastEddie86]

The first time I saw it was in that exact theatre. Absolutely incredible experience. I saw it a further 2 times there and each screening lost its power. First time though; wow.

[@JeSuisDelete]

I love both of them.

[@kre_dopeprod.3766]

Thank you! Very best way of conversation

[@vitellinova]

I love the fact that the two are latinos but talk on english between they.

[@whydirected]

How they compare Gravity and Love 3D it's unique hahah

[@autofocus4556]

Weird he liked that movie. Very sappy.

[@lucasguillermooalvarado7106]

pudiendo hablar en español

[@ZerMetKi]

Was so happy until they said that they BS they way through some of the best movies that I love(d) from them. Supongo que todo gran éxito se crea a partir del esfuerzo de otros y las conexiones de pocos...

[@fireball43]

Well, they are directors. They don’t have to understand a lot of that technical stuff. They just need the vision. He just bullshits his way into getting the financing by saying the vision is possible and hires people who can actually do it. Bullshitting is literally a talent every director needs if they want to survive. Refn talks about that too.

[@cagekind]

but they don't bullshit their way at all, they worked for years

[@Jacky-p9l]

😮 Hello boys

[@rakeshchandan007]

i missed in the cinema, ever since i have been waiting for re release,but no luck so far

[@LeonidKotelnikov-jg9fi]

King Kong??

[@cesarperalta1331]

the very first one

[@AdAstra78]

If Gravity had been dialogue-free it'd have been a masterpiece. For me personally, The script and, most of all Clooney's constant wisecracking, really does hinder the experience. Shame.

[@frederic.c]

I correct some comments below. No, Gaspar Noé sometimes watches blockbusters, and no, Gaspar Noé is not a Latin American... 🤦‍♂ Je rectifie certains commentaires ci-dessous. Non, ça arrive que Gaspar Noé regarde des blocbusters, et non, Gaspar Noé n'est pas un latino-americain... 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂

[@Simon-yp7rv]

He is of Argentinian descent
