Punch-Drunk Love Full Press Conference - Cannes Film Festival 2002

[@jermyhopkisn9654]

I don't think I've ever seen a director having this much fun at a press conference.

[@eun-solkim7080]

Absolutely hilarious to see how serious the Cannes takes itself, as opposed to the baked panel, including a completely fried PTA.

[@antoinesubitlescoups338]

This entire interview should be archived and preserved and canonized as something that is important aesthetically and culturally.

[@dlh7989]

Paul Thomas Anderson's work still isn't in the National Film Registry in the Library of Congress, I think this would be a good start

[@lexa3210]

Crazy to think this is 20 years old

Interviewer: make sure to get to the point of your questions Also interviewer: spends an hour introducing the actors

[@dxxdsame8863]

they deserved that

[@roloug95]

I thought the same thing but to be fair, they were great introductions

[@grilled_steak_stuffed_5586]

Philip Seymour Hoffman's crispy laugh is contagious. Love it. RIP.

[@breadtubereview373]

Been on a paul thomas anderson binge lately. greatest director.

[@KushagraaDubeyy]

This interview is so meta when one actually takes into account the tipsy laughter of everyone accentuated by the fact that the questions were weird and their answers were like literally Punch Drunk Love running live in front of your eyes.

[@kruegtopolis]

13:36 what a joy to watch PTA just completely shut down such an elitist question with the utmost sincerity.

[@ethidian3444]

It's not really an elitist question but it is a bit harshly inappropriate to be relentless about it.

[@windowsmizu416]

@@ethidian3444 Obnoxious, it's still substantial so it's not necessarily pretentious I guess, but yeah, relentless and a little socially unaware.

[@sammythemc]

​@@windowsmizu416 I think the reporter was right to push for a substantial answer. He prefaces the question with humility, and the contradiction between Sandler's "low art" reputation and the undeniably good performance they'd just seen was definitely an elephant in that room. It's one thing to like Adam Sandler and think he's funny, but it's another to realize he'd be so good for this role. So what did PTA see in him that the rest of us didn't?

[@panached1450]

he was giving off such strong South Park guys vibe in that response

[@dlh7989]

@@sammythemc Yeah idk I think the reporter seemed pretty genuine, he phrased it pretty delicately and he's smiling when PTA just shuts him down with "I love him!" like I think he was just curious like everybody else because it did seem a completely odd fit and that was a good enough answer for him. It's not like now where we all know PTA just loves Sandler and didn't think he needed "fixing" or anything, this was the first time anybody asked him about it. There's also more appreciation now for how good Sandler can be with everything he's done since. Uncut Gems felt like a new breaking point where we may finally be done hearing "Wow Adam Sandler is actually good" like it's a fluke. I think it's officially boring to be surprised.

[@BowandArrowful]

I feel bad for the fact that no one got their questions answered, but at the same time it made this a wildly funny and entertaining press Q&A

[@fawnrot]

their questions were all just idealized, it was just a simple movie that resonated with people so well they over think it.

[@MulliComMedia]

33:15 is heartbreaking in retrospect.

[@jmsmith254]

My heart sank a little when he said that! RIP

[@notabubba8976]

Mr. Hoffman's comments pulled at my heart.

[@lukepocock]

he got a good question and gave the answers with the most substance

[@thegoodgeneral]

Man, excellent moderator. Great introductions to everyone, then stays mostly quiet-deftly selects questions, makes sure the guy isn't in the way in the camera, keeps things running smoothly, and then he has pre-prepared questions for the participants that aren't getting asked anything.

[@1MCElias]

Exactly my thoughts.

[@PGCDs]

“I have a question for the lady producer” - yeah, guy didn’t even bother to know JoAnne Sellar’s (who’s on the panel!) name. 🤦

[@DrRish-wx3wf]

Adam Sandler is great in this movie. I love his comedies. His dramatic roles are extremely intelligent and well done.

[@aaronsaiz2498]

I honestly think Paul is stoned

[@achimstrejac6740]

Aaron Saiz bruh i think they all were

[@ericsteinberger3999]

He's more than likely on coke which is something he spoke about on Marc Marons podcast

I feel like I’m too high, or not high enough. -pta

[@Chris-kh2kn]

After seeing Inherent Vice, I don't doubt.

[@samiritbanik1504]

He's just a reserved, calm and composed person who's kind of socially awkward like many filmmakers are. I honestly don't think Anderson was stoned.

[@haydenstuder322]

yo pta is so high here lmao

[@connellobrien3467]

what a treasure of a video

[@underdogtv1789]

This is why KZbin is awesome, videos like this.

[@eun-solkim7080]

33:09 oh wow. It did happen, Mr. Hoffman. And it was masterful.

[@Smoochi27]

Adam Sandler deserves to be at that table, and any table with any “A List Actor”. It truly makes me emotional when people talk down on him. He’s a true treasure for American cinema. Uncut Gems, meyerowitz stories, punch drunk love, and all his comedies are amazing to me. He’s been my #1 and will forever be.

[@prolifuc]

i felt the exact same way, these guys were super pretentious and looking down their glasses at him. its made me not like cannes

[@themadking2150]

Someone's in love 💓

[@ILoveDavidLynch]

Big Daddy is fantastic, loved it as a kid still love it now.

[@PragmaticTornado]

Also Spanglish, Reign Over Me and Funny People, when talking about the movies where he does more than his typical comedy performance.

[@CannibalWHORE22]

This made me dislike a bit more. Made me love Sandler more, what a funny down to earth gentleman

[@madhousepictures]

Love how everyone is intrigued and dying to know “why oh why PTA would ever consider such an actor like Sandler”. And he responds as if THEY are stupid. Because they are.

[@autofocus4556]

Smarter than you

[@JesseWilliam95]

Sandler gets shit on for being a comic actor yet if they would have given him more acclaim for this I bet he would've done more of this kind of stuff.

[@freindmaker4473]

he has done more!

[@arch_dornan6066]

​@@freindmaker4473AWESOME PFP!!!!!!

[@bokehintheussr5033]

Why are they so surprised he cast Adam Sandler when he cast Marky Mark in Boogie Nights? XD

[@evanpeltier]

I think because at the time, most people thought of Adam Sandler as this "dumb and funny" guy, and nobody took him seriously as an actor. Paul Thomas Anderson is a serious filmmaker, and he made drama films, so that's why people were surprised he would cast Sandler.

[@tonywords6713]

I love Phil Hoffman just dying laughing over Paul and Adam it so clear they just have so much fun not just working together but as people

[@Dylanbolton69]

Phillip Seymour Hoffman deserved that introduction. What a brilliant actor he was. RIP

[@Bluemgwes]

I’ve only heard nothing but good things about him from people who have been on his sets. So glad to hear.

[@dlh7989]

My favorite PTA press conference moment is still The Master at Venice when some guy was just like "I'm starting my own religion about PDF files, what would it take to join, you guys, what would it take?"

[@owenraspberry4737]

11:00 when I was watching the movie by myself, the song started to play and my sister came into the room and asked if I was watching Popeye.

I just Rewatched "Punch Drunk Love" a few days ago Great, Interesting Movie. Adam Sandler seems in the Interview like the Character he plays in the Movie. A shy guy. In more recent years in his interviews, Adam didn't seem like he was Shy at all.

[@ColombianThunder]

Well he's a lot older now and more confident.

[@davidlean1060]

Anderson, my goodness, he loved the ole sniff back then! He clearly hasn't had a wink of sleep and he clearly topped himself off before the press conference to try get through it!

PT Anderson was going out with Maya Rudolph at the time. Punch Drunk Love for Maya

[@eddys3547]

[@ozzy9101]

What’s also funny is he got the idea of Phantom Thread when he was sick and Maya took car of Paul with such care and love. That’s how he got the idea for the movie
