"I was ready to do anything not to earn a living and accept all humiliations. To be free, one must be ready to endure every single humiliation." NEET inspiration.

Romanian here, my absolute favorite writer. His life and work was monnumental, means the world to me.

[@manuel_cojocaru]

He's my favourite philosopher,and i think he;s one of the most valueable romanian writers among Mircea Eliade,etc.Thank you so much for uploading this video!

TheMoodKiller RF no, he was a roumanian that influenced art and made an impact

[@tranquil87]

P.S. I'm sorry if there are ads now! There have been 5 copyright claims on this video because of the soundtrack. It's nothing I can do anything about. I am not making any money from this, only those claimants are.

[@vladyb0y]

+Emil Sinclair do you have any idea if there are any other interviews with Cioran? There is a book called "conversations with Cioran" published so I wondered if any of those have been recorded and if so, if they're on the internet?

[@tranquil87]

TheMoodKiller RF There's very little. This one, the Romanian documentary I've uploaded, and this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2mTqZmInZKrorM If you're talking about the book "Entretiens", it's an amazing, illuminating book. Highly recommended.

[@vladyb0y]

+Emil Sinclair I am Romanian, so I have watched the documentaries and interviews made by Liiceanu in the 1990s. Tutea, the one the documentary begins with, has also given plenty of interviews with the occasion of other TV cultural shows so I have completed my view on him. I have the whole Cioran collection already, and I have read everything except the "Entretiens" and the "Solitude et destin", I believe that's how that correspondence volume is called. I was asking out of curiosity, since as you might have noticed as well, there is a great difference between something he wrote and something he says. Words gain life when you see them with your own eyes, technology offers us the illusion of Cioran's contemporaneity, and I have also noticed that in most of his youtube interviews he almost has a "script" he recites with each occasion. In my opinion, the truth about him is still in the dark, yet that is also what he himself said that an author should do, to hide his essence, because otherwise we fall into automatism, like Paul Valery, and it is sadly inescapable. What I wanted to ask was if there are any other interviews on youtube which are kind of unconventional, maybe you would know better since I only watched the romanian documentaries and this. An interview with someone, following the 70s, I know he was also the director of a cultural magazine so maybe he gave interviews around that time? I wouldn't know, so I hope you'd enlighten me.

[@tranquil87]

TheMoodKiller RF He didn't want to give interviews on camera and made very few exceptions. I'm not aware of any others that could exist. I don't think he was using a script or anything like that. From my perspective, he wanted to talk about what mattered to him the most, and there aren't many different ways to describe the same experience over and over. He's notorious for essentially writing the same book multiple times, so it makes sense for his interviews to repeat themselves as well.

[@vladyb0y]

+Emil Sinclair I believe it still has a different feel to it. When you read his Precis de decomposition and then proceed to watch one of these interviews it's kind of hard to believe it's the same person. Anyway, thanks for your attention. I was aware that he lived his life anonymously but he started accepting interviews after 1982-1986 so I was hoping that maybe there is more material.

[@artistmakesgood]

I understand a bit of french and I think you did a wonderful job on the subtitles. Thank you for posting this.

[@wallykaspars9700]

Thanks for this amazing video. The French is spoken so fast I did more reading of the subtitles than watching the images. A second viewing is the plan.

[@hoomanot]

Cioran puts Nietzsche & Camus to shame.

Please, upload the interview with Christian Bussy with subtitles.

[@wasiali3311]

Can you provide its english srt file? Because if someone happen to download it to watch offline, he won't have subtitles.

[@atmt525]

Hey you had a quote of Cioran, something along the lines of “smashing idols and collecting pieces” in your about section. I was wondering if I could find that quote again?

[@tranquil87]

I have no recollection of that

[@atmt525]

[@ZombieDragQueen]

"God is dead." - Nietzsche "Nietzsche is dead." - God "If there would be a proof of God's existence, Bach would be it." - Cioran "Here's Bach's schedule: he'll play organ on Mondays and Wednesdays on Cloud Six. The Brandenburgs on Tuesdays and Fridays on Cloud Nine and for the hardcore fans the weird Kunst der Fuge experimental era on Cloud Eleven. Free entry, we've got an awesome PA system and huge screens. What's Bach doing on Saturdays? You need to be dead for at least a couple of centuries before you even get a hint, let alone location and password." - God

[@makageldiashvili8683]

6:40 music name pls

[@Xanthippe60]

Ho man, welcome to the club, 6 years looking for it, I think it is just an unique interpretation of Bach Preludes :/

[@shuffleme5766]

⁠@@Xanthippe60 Hey bro I commented this over three years ago. I'm still looking for this melody, I listened to all Bach's preludes and fugues but unfortunately I couldn't find it 😞

[@guttersnipe00]

wish the subs were hardcoded so we could download this for when it inevitably gets removed/made private/the host closes their account

[@tranquil87]

I have no reason to make this private. I put a lot of work into making these subs. I highly doubt it will ever be removed, since I have dealt with the copyright issues from the music. I have kept a copy of the subs and the documentary on my hard drive, so I will simply re-upload it if that happens.

[@guttersnipe00]

Etienne-Emile Antikatastaseis Awesome, that's great to hear. I appreciate all the work you put into it, it's a great documentary about a great man. It always pains me when I go over my old playlists to find so many holes in it and to know that there are some pieces of information I've never have access to again which really spurred my comment. By the way, I miss your contributions to the AN facebook groups. All the best to you.

[@guttersnipe00]

Etienne-Emile Antikatastaseis For sure, if you felt that way then it was for the best. I'm sure there would have been a few other people who appreciated your thoughts too. I'm glad you've found your home in the new group.

[@naqashhaider3469]

thanks for sharing this incredible work.
