[@anthonyjohnson8672]

[@ouaissupere8526]

[@eastlondonblues]

[@artlover1477]

Every Friedkin Q&A, the man has the same energy and passion. Amazing!

[@SymonSaysTV]

Friedkin is a wonderful, brilliant, passionate filmmaker to listen to.

[@Mc.Garnagle]

I actually met Billy once and for maybe 30 seconds. I was working for Malpaso in Burbank as a PA. I forget exactly why he was visiting. He was probably meeting with Mr. Eastwood for some reason as many people did. I was told by an AD to stand in the VIP lot in back, greet him, and walk him inside. That was it. There was kind of an unwritten rule not to bug actors or directors with fanboy crap and to keep it professional. He was one of the few that almost made me break that rule. But when you get down to it, telling him about how much I loved the Exocrist or Sorcerer would just be annoying. But he seemed like a really cool guy, very friendly.

[@brianmitchell8203]

I also had a brief encounter with Mr. Friedkin while working at a top Santa Fe hotel he was staying at. Sally Kellerman asked me to deliver a note to him. To my surprise, he answered the door personally and was most gracious. I, too, grappled with the dilemma of keeping things professional, and didn't try to corner him through a half open door, but I always regretted never getting another chance.

[@Alexander-tj2dn]

This guy is a legend.

[@IMangame]

This guy is great. He really seems to enjoy speaking to an audience, and he does it very well. Quite entertaining but also very interesting.

[@bukowski20]

Great observations on here. I could listen to William Friedkin talk for hours, while simultaneously staring at that beautiful woman in the black dress.

[@jackprescott9652]

I could hear William Friedkin talking all day.

[@SoCalDan530]

Just watched French Connection. Wow. Gonzo filmmaking and terrific cast all were great. 50 year old movie. Wow

[@salvadordalinian1986]

Glimpsing why Friedkin achieved success in film direction-- high intelligence and excellent communication skills.

[@robertnegron9706]

Yes his communication was impeccable, with everyone.

[@Bluzian74]

Just fabulous stuff. Thank you so much for the upload. Friedkin is a genius.

[@stefanross8129]

..... Hes so GREAT. So great. I'd love to take a film class in which he teaches for a full semester!

[@ralvin31]

Always informative and entertaining to hear William Friedkin

[@MAronson]

Thanks so much for this. He's a treasure.

[@2confrontational]

Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. Masterful telling from an incredible director. Děkuji!

[@tomhamilton5261]

He was a brilliant director and a first class speaker-encyclopaedic mind and a master film-maker. Always frank, never dull and always entertaining. Not forgotten.

[@samhasanain4841]

What a freaking LEGEND.

[@CRITTERBUSTERS]

Friedkin is a genius filmmaker and an incredibly articulate man.

[@ggghhjd]

he is a class act

[@iangrant3615]

He was a class act. In every such masterclass or event, I note that he always makes a point of knowing and mentioning the name of his host and remembering and mentioning the names of people in the audience as he's answering their questions. It's a little detail, but it's the sign of someone who understands that those things go a long way in how you make people feel, and like the famous saying goes, people will remember how you made them feel long after they forget everything else about you.

[@MATTDALOR1AN]

so good!

[@AlexLeyba1]

Matthew Brando I know right

[@jeremykoerner4100]

Thank you so much!

[@stefanross8129]

..... Sorcerer is REALLY good. And wild!

[@JuneH-j8p]

I love Czech movies from the 60s and some of todays ones. I dont understand a lot of it but they are Brilliant

[@billjones8503]

I love William, & his humbleness.

[@hyennussquatch4597]

Haha, the story about Bunuel and Rey is mindblowing :D

[@eddiebrown8549]

Fantastic video. Thank you...

[@arthurmiller9103]

Brilliant👍

[@petergraves5649]

The lady in the black dress in the background is just beautiful, especially when she is watching into the camera. She is like a beautiful sculpture of a goddess with alabaster-skin. :)

[@RichFirever12]

Peter Graves dude I hate to get off subject with sex(can’t help it) this girl is so beautiful she’s like van goh painting talked about by Friedkin. A masterpiece.

[@Omnicient.]

We all agree! Hope she reads your beautiful post.

[@ericclarke6107]

The cafe that he shot the 1985 Twilight Zone episode, "Nightcrawlers" is the Halfway House in Santa Clarita/Canyon Country, California...I live near it and the food is terrific. It was also used a year earlier in Twilight Zone: The Movie, Top Gun: Maverick, Space Cowboys, Heartbreak Ridge, and a ton of other films.

[@phma8185]

So not only he's giving a masterclass. He is a Masterclass !

[@kuramobay2445]

At first the audience is silently in awe of the master director until he mentions the name Iron Mike Tyson and then they chuckle and relax because even a deaf and dumb blind guy living under a rock knows about Mike Tyson.

[@ZackGarcia-ci2by]

RIP William 💔🫡

[@jvp6302]

What's the name of the film maker who does clay film? Schwonmeier??

[@lonestormtooper]

Jan Svankmajer.

[@josant5784]

❤️ Billy

[@vusmo]

Good, nice one.

[@jerrycornelius3466]

There is a Movie God.And one of his apostles is William Friedkind

[@vobon11]

42:32 on actors and process

[@balkandepot]

Why not mention the french original for the Sourcerer?

[@roedalacket]

The guy in the background doing the sound, the gaffer, doesn't seem much interested in all the wisdom Friedkin is preaching here. He comes in around 19:30 in the vid.

[@joshuastriffolino9721]

“I could kill myself because I’m so old and you’re all so young” I’m assuming this pretty much sums up how it feels to be old, especially knowing there is so much knowledge from the past slipping by the new age’s radar.

[@Superpowerless1]

I love Friedkin, although I am one of those purists that he refers to regarding 35mm. There is just something about film. If shot on expensive, high quality equipment of course.

[@CorneliusPRhoades]

Cameraman seem to focus on the pretty woman in the background for a good minute. 😂

[@barflytom3273]

Friedkin and his pants. Why doesn't he get himself a decent belt? I've watched all his videos and it's the same thing in each of them, he keeps pulling his pants up. Love him though.

[@juancpgo]

50:00 “Why is she smiling?” AHAHAHA I was asking myself those entire 50mins why is that woman smiling every single second of the talk??? Freaky!

[@vincentlim348]

She is possessed

[@SquidkidMega]

I love friedkin.....but I really wish he would sit in a chair once in awhile

[@RudyBoy]

27:47 The question goes from Italian gay stereotype :D

[@brainsareus]

Why do we need to see that clown standing there, holding the boom? #Distraction

[@Emannzo]

How dare they do that to you? Do you need something to cheer you up after that horrible experience, master? Maybe a blanket or a foot massage or a cup of tea you spoiled brat?

[@GreatShamoo]

brilliant man, but those trousers are like a bag

[@andrewwashiku]

It looks like he's speaking at a wedding or something

[@tomwilson8607]

how embarrassing they couldn't even film this great film maker properly,, really sloppy and amateur production film crew this ,, pathetic,,
