Guillermo Del Toro is the ultimate movie guy. His knowledge and passion for movie is simply amazing.

[@kiwione12]

hes like a less coked up Tarantino

[@WithWizMedia]

@@kiwione12 don’t forget about Edgar Wright. He’s up there

[@MichaelFromTheAttic]

Del Toro is also the ultimate ART guy as a whole. His passion for anything creative is really inspiring.

[@MikelGCinema]

@@kiwione12 and WAY more talented than the annoying QT.

[@harish2772]

@@kiwione12 lol del Toro knowledge on painters and general knowledge was more than tino

[@OscarFilmForecast]

These two compliment each other so well!

[@000_leo]

I love this kind of content! Please do more Directors on Directors and Actors on Actors in the future

[@fbenbow2197]

Note to Jane Campion:I saw The Piano when I was a teenager. Ever since there have only been a couple of films that wrenched my heartstrings so much and got me thinking about freedom, loneliness, chauvinism, beauty and love. Thank you for the beautiful present.

[@jav1ram]

Saw it as a teenager too, a very haunting film. The shot of Ada being pulled out of the house by Alisdair with an axe has always stayed with me. Ada almost looks like a human doll in that moment, something Alisdair wants to tame and own.

[@jwl00066]

love both directors; met Jane Campion for like a minute at Berlin in 2012 at the film festival over there when they screened Top of the Lake, she was very kind!

[@solpractices]

"Nightmare Alley is about the American Dream." So proud to be alive to hear and see this.

[@maxsilbert]

Guillermo is a treasure

[@jesse1008]

I admire Guillermo so much !!! There are just no words 👌🏽

[@powerofmovies687]

I really enjoyed this discussion,I admire the both directors,The power of the dog is very good ,I haven’t watch Nightmare Alley yet but his previous work is very good

[@senguptasayn]

Just saw Power of the Dog. My goodness.What a movie.What art!Mind blowing!

[@armchairguru1921]

What a spectacular combination! These two are cinematic geniuses!

[@Nick-___-]

great pairing! Would be dope to get PTA on one of these. Cheers

[@Rgvbjkuhvcdfh]

Love both of them, Jane's works are amazing, will wait for more such conversations

[@盖斯]

Two legends!

[@adityakripalani]

This was so much fun. Campion is so smart about asking questions to quietly try to go deeper into Del Toro. Del toro as usual is his engaging self.

[@selena___]

Dream pairing and conversation!

[@grazianomainolfi345]

Yes, this is truly inspiring, and love them both all filmmakers. I really want to meet him someday. I'm in Canada I know he shoots here a lot...

[@JoyjeetGupta]

Showing cracks and then mending them is what a storyteller does. An all button closed person, a single top-button opened person and a top two buttons opened person tells three different stories. Guillermo del Toro is a genius.

[@sergicardo5631]

Thanks for this, amazing chat between two titans

[@Unholyterror666]

Love Guillermo!!

[@girafingo9280]

I love Jane Campion's sense of humour!

[@danielbarrero2815]

Amazing!! Two of my favorites

[@superdumbvideo]

Two ridiculously brilliant directors. Nothing is more lonely than when the actors leave the family of your movie when it wraps.

[@EazyJakeOven]

I'm not a huge fan of Guillermo's movies, but I love hearing him talk about Jane's!

[@samiswithering]

I love this so much

[@lcz4033]

Great conversation! Muy buena y agradable conversación. Saludos desde Ecuador.

[@willytingles]

del Toro is a genius.

[@asgo7320]

Jane Campion is amazing. Love her.

[@mariafernandez5087]

I LOVE these two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@har5814]

Great filmmakers.

[@as-wl1uy]

The Power of The Dog deserves the Oscar for best film 2021, Jane Campion create a masterpiece.

[@seanbear69]

This is the best dialogue between two directors I've ever seen. You'd have to go back to Orson and Cavett to see better discussions.

[@terencegarcia4193]

Love these videos!

[@GwaiZai]

That was really good

[@JoyjeetGupta]

The critical philosophical choices of Guillermo Del Toro are the reasons why his movies are so beautiful. Is there anyway to do an internship under him?

[@adityakripalani]

Beautiful.

[@obicymatica1229]

These two could be fast friends… I hope they went for dinner after this and connected.. and I would love to know what the personal jewelry they have on means to them

[@GwaiZai]

Guillermo showed her his rain room. Cut to black.

[@obicymatica1229]

NOT THE RAIN ROOM

[@MuhammadAmir-rb3rg]

do writer on writer: PTA and Jordan Peele!

[@mariacandidatv]

Excellent

[@sam.jones89]

I’m sorry but this is a great video

[@JohnDoe-qv6my]

Dang Memo be looking gangster there shaaaaaaauuuuu

[@annacoribioanna]

Guillermo😍😍😍

[@JoyjeetGupta]

How about sending Architecture digest or the Vouge 73 questions to Guillermo's house??

[@jeffnicholas6342]

Jane Campion said amaze-ball..?

[@annacoribioanna]

Guillermo so interested in her😍

[@jikajacksondeepluyka]

Really hope Guillermo del Toro reboot guyver with all the monster in his mind.

[@pdzombie1906]

The directors of the two movies which should have won Best Picture this years. But no, let's give it to a remake because of diversity? Great conversation!!! Thanx!!!!

[@Fellipe_S]

Great

[@joseaugusto1570]

O Guillermo del toro podia fazer o filme do silent hills com o roteiro do hideo kojima

[@jeffnicholas6342]

he is a death...stranding. but Campion, she can bring a hill so silent even del toro and kojima might weep! Watch 'The Piano'

[@turbine5363]

I want actors on actors between K Stew and Andrew Garfield, please make it happen!

[@redadamearth]

Dear Variety: Paul Thomas Anderson and Steven Spielberg next, please. ;-)

[@MultiAustin86]

Heck yeah.

[@katmir5382]

My favourite movie :)

[@hutieubunrieu]

Totoro san !!!

[@madman00774]

We NEED one with: Christopher Nolan & Sam Raimi Martin Scorsese & Quentin Tarantino

[@feelin_fine]

Love Del Toro, but comments don't do justice to Campion. Brilliant directors both.

[@sallyreynolds8340]

I absolutely saw that gayness in that macho cowboy!,,

[@rkomgm3932]

Met Jane Campion told her I didn’t like Bright Star she took it very well and wanted to know the reason behind my dislike Nice lady that she was curious about my opinion and not defensive

[@GwaiZai]

why didn't you? I thought it was a beautiful film though less complex than Power of the Dog

[@rkomgm3932]

@@GwaiZai u sound like Jane lol she wouldn’t let me go until she had an answer I just thought the script cast story was boring I loved portrait of a lady !! But bright star may have been too female focused for me Why did you like it Chris ?

[@GwaiZai]

@@rkomgm3932 I liked it because it was all about understanding these characters at depth. I agree that from a plot perspective, what really happens? Until the end. And then you rethink these characters and their interactions. It's small and intimate.

[@fugamantew]

GDT: "So glad to see you." JC: "Yeah." @0:48 This is who Variety decides be interviewed? A giant of Cinema like Oscar-Award winner Guillermo del Toro been treated to this? Lovely, just lovely... His current movie, and overall work in fact, is a thousand times more enticing and forward thinking than her's. Her "cowboy" movie was lame af... lame and then some. Story-wise, treatment-wise, drama-wise-boring and same-y. You could've gotten Alfonso Cuarón, or Bong Joon-ho, people with whom Del Toro has some familiar pathfinding with, but no. Cameron and Villeneuve's Dir. on Dir. was so good and engaging... Here we lack engagement. Del Toro is a gentleman, and he will roll with the punches whenever he is required, but let's not waste away this man's genius by reducing him to be the one looking for answers from a person that won't give him one he will actually take back home with. Ms. Campion and Adam McKay would've been a thing to behold though.

[@mate1030]

You are so right man

[@Bluecrabsandsushi]

I'm still not convinced Benedict was right person. Part of me wishes that I could see the movie where Jesse and Benedict swap roles. I believe anger from Jesse plemons more easily than I do from Benedict Cumberbatch

[@alanboodibabudaho9789]

the Power of the Dog is something special although not necassarily something great.

[@GwaiZai]

I thought it was great. I saw it three weeks ago and am still thinking about it

[@kingsalmon7686]

power of the dog is an incoherent totally boring production -

[@gavinhenderson7250]

I disagree

[@sauravmehra4503]

No it's not. It's a thoroughly Engaging film.But it is very subtle and methodical character piece, so u really have to be the mood & headspace to watch it. It's certainly worked for me. My favourite film of the year followed by The Father and Titane.

[@higorbrandao7043]

...or is it?

[@GwaiZai]

you forgot to add "I think" to the start of your opinion
