[@silverswimsuit4969]

She's so sincere and natural. It's refreshing. She doesn't answer like she supposed to, she's just real. I'm in love.

[@nikhilk_]

She should've been nominated for best actress at the Oscars. Her performance was brilliant

[@rich8880]

Yes. She stole the movie for me.

[@birhan2006]

Vicky Krieps is a really good actress. I was very impressed by her role in the phantom thread

[@vincentknight27]

I saw the movie yesterday and she dubbed herself for the German dub..... I love her voice so much

[@youarelife3437]

I can listen to her talk all day

[@chynnhowe]

Great interview.

[@yosoykarito]

Daniel Day-Lewis was upset because she didn't get a nomination, he told her that she deserved it, but she said she didn't want to win an Oscar ever.

[@ladycebula]

she's adorable

[@paulnewal6249]

I love how she dispels the hyper-political lens through which so many Americans create and view art. I think the media is to blame on both sides. Let us not be so wound-up that we can't enjoy simple beautiful expressions as this film.

[@heekyungkim8147]

She is so charming and beautiful.

[@TheAndrewmcnelis]

Fantastic interview, thank you.

[@tulinehammoud8499]

omg ...she is so charming ! real natural beautY

[@aliforoughi92]

based Vicky

[@nsleeper12]

I was not prepared for the poisoning....not sure I'm up to the sophistication required to interpret the necessity of her initiating such an evil act. Help!! I totally loved the film.

[@bernardblack3124]

I share your frustration, Nancy. Saw the film yesterday, have been thinking about it since and here's what I've come up with. But first, a trigger warning. I don't know you. I don't know your circumstances, I don't know how you see the world, so this may sound a bit too... weird, or nerdy, or cynical for your sensibilities. Now, there's this thing called "costly signalling." (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_theory) It’s quite rare to find a subject where this framework doesn’t yield insight, because it’s such a unified theory of everything. And if we look at the story and the relationship in "Phantom Thread" through the lens of this theory, one conclusion to draw would be that even though Alma has tremendous love for Reynolds, she doesn't get an opportunity to signal that love in an undeniably honest, sincere fashion. This is either because Reynolds doesn't need her love, or because he's too proud to admit that he does. So Alma takes matters into her own hands and sets out to create that opportunity. Obviously, the film is far more complicated, layered and subtle than this crude attempt at an explanation, and I haven't even touched on the Reynolds character and his relationship to his mother, but Alma is just far more interesting to me. Would love to hear your thoughts on this and the film in general.

[@juliamargaretcameron]

Krieps reminds me a bit of Greta Garbo perhaps because of a subtle magic that can't easily be defined..She is refreshing just to listen to if only because of her her gentle, mellifluous voice..

[@jessica5497]

She looks like a young Meryl streep

[@UlrichUlrich]

The weakest part of Phantom Thread.

[@matthewbishop8395]

Hahaha nice try

[@themightygavin]

Praying for the PTA interview!

[@jokesterr119]

themightygavin lol we all are

[@paulnewal6249]

on your knees

[@rachelschmid3356]

She is a very smart woman, and an extremely mindful actress. It's so rare to come across such an honest interview. It was almost not an interview at all, but more a conversation. I really enjoyed hearing her thoughts on the story, the characters, her method of acting, and films in general. An excellent example of perfect casting, Phantom Thread is a treasure. I believe we will be seeing a lot more of her, and rightfully so!

[@Pingaheimer]

Her voice is just so peaceful, gentle and relaxing. So lovely.

[@comedybeersexappeal]

She was amazing in Phantom Thread! Talented actress.

[@chynnhowe]

She’s beautiful and her voice is so sweet and calming.

[@KushagraaDubeyy]

Rare to have such self possessed, honest and succinctly articulate people in this industry. She's just too great !

[@actorsprofession6450]

Right.

[@Winduct]

Any chance of interviewing Tommy Wiseau?

[@theempire00]

Winduct lol

[@bbigio]

Great difference between European and American actresses. Zero narcissism and pose.

[@yasmine7866]

and men.

[@untitled8005]

Domt generalize man! Watch the Khaterine waterston dp/30 interview

[@usualsuspects42]

I do not understand why she wasn't nominated. She was stunning - she matched Daniel Day Lewis, and that's saying something.

[@actorsprofession6450]

I just came from watching the movie at the cinema and went straight to my computer to find ot about Vicky. What an amiable person she is. So down to earth, so much led by her passion to do the work - I am impressed. Such great acting in the movie - the end of the asparagus scene: her sounds of anger for loss of words. The interview covered the questions that interested me the most. Thank you a lot for this!

[@skibsteds]

Good interview. Thanks, David!

[@tubemoog]

the more I watch Phantom Thread and see videos about it, the actors, director.....the more I love it

[@sakibgazija]

Thank you, David. She is great.

[@eboli7146]

Amazing actress with a very mysterious face, capable of so much subtlety and depth of emotions, and clearly extremely intelligent. She should have been nominated a lot more during awards season!

[@fernfernisfernie]

You have her soothing, soft, classy voice and then...his.

[@KatE-iz5hl]

PLEASE TRY AND GET AN INTERVIEW WITH PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON!!!

[@kristinawalla]

i love this interview and i love her so much-- what a magical person! beautiful heart Phantom Thread i’ve seen it once and cherish it as a gift .....looking forward to see it a second time

[@binaryg]

I love her performance in PT and her ability to rise to this elite status and do so humbly. This interview and the questions asked were so well done. Thank you. I hope to see more of her and of course more of DD-L and PTA. This is a great film.

[@cinziagennari693]

Molto brava e molto modesta

[@Thymint]

god, i love her voice

[@AvindraGoolcharan]

18:31 I love her response to this question

[@marcpadilla1094]

Why isn't she a Super Model. I know its beneath her talent but she could totally nail it. Runway face and body.

[@BenNJerrys2xaday]

wondrous

[@schnitzel3o3]

excellent interviewer! good job!

[@Nirvanist100]

I've just found this interview after becoming a massive fan of this channel (and being a massive fan of PTA for years). It pushed me to rewatch Phantom Thread for the 5th time, and I think it might unironically be the best rom-com of the century.

[@cjwright79]

Between Vicky and Sylvia Hoeks this has been a real break-out year for Benelux actresses.

Her voice reminds me of Gal Gadot

[@cill521]

She thinks so fast, she gets distracted two sentences in to her reply. Beautiful and smart enough to be as pure as it gets.

[@katalinbohdan9122]

Her performance in this film was striking! Simply unforgettable.

[@billybob911]

Vicky Krieps not Vicki Krieps

[@rurban]

She is the new Maria Schell

[@Paperbagman555]

Awesome interview! I've been watching your interviews for years and each time PTA releases a new film everyone in the comments asks for an interview with him. It's a real shame when you think about how many dull interview's we see PTA in. I hope David gets a chance at some point to interview him because his interviews always feel so fluid and relaxed. Respect.

[@geraldineregnault7756]

Conversation à bâtons rompus plus qu interview, tout en naturel ! Vicky une fille simple , lunaire et lumineuse ! dans ce milieu , c est si rafraîchissant ! Douces pensées face à son immense chagrin !

[@daniarorynbayev8530]

i'm so appy! this movie is a uge success

[@thatguyfromthatthing8573]

An excellent interview; I've seen it four times now but with what she said about Alma not being a man or woman and just being I'll certainly look at it differently next time. Does anyone know what it is to which she's referring at 31:55? It sounds something like Monsieur Bleu but I'm not finding anything searching for that.

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

She was talking about Monsieur Hulot a character played by Jacques Tati which communicate more through his body than by his words. I recommend watching ''Playtime'', but seriously they all deserve to be seen if you like cinema, Tati is a master of visual comedy.

[@thatguyfromthatthing8573]

Drunken Master II Of course! I do know Hulot actually, although I haven't seen Playtime, thanks for the recommendation. I don't know how I managed to mishear that though.

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

thatguyfromthatthing, well it seems like she said mr. Hublot instead of Hulot. Hublot is a small window in a boat and she could've just inadvertently mistaken the words. If english is your first language you might have been confused by the "u" sound combine with the "bl". Playtime is an incredible movie, the sets are on another level and some scenes are so complex that you wonder how he managed to direct them. Criterion has it in their catalog.

[@jackdolah2031]

She's sooo humble

[@simplerway489]

She is nice.

[@dandreballard1695]

What did she like about playing that character would’ve been a good question. Didn’t hear that question? Did I miss it?

[@gsl6494]

Interviewer a moron. Vicky Krieps and movie a gem

[@savedfaves]

Not a great film. Both characters are unlikeable and frustrating.

[@katalinbohdan9122]

That's life. Movies are about life. And in life, there are plenty unlikeable people. It's still interesting to study and observe them

[@giovanni4068]

It's a masterpiece

[@yosoykarito]

This movie is a masterpiece, maybe you didn't get it.
