Nicolas Cage discusses his film "Mandy" at IndieWire's Sundance Studio

[@AdventureJack101]

favorite part of the move: "YOU RIPPED MY SHIRT!" "YOU RIPPED. MY SHIRT!" *breaks guy's neck*

[@Henry_Slatyki]

That was his favorite shirt.

[@itsallgoodman4108]

YOU IN MAAA SHIIITTT

[@KH-hu9sv]

Such a wonderful and weirdly subtle nod to the fact that that was the shirt he wore when he first met mandy

[@jacobrichardson498]

Lololol 😂😂😂😂😂 same bro

[@free_wifi_kids]

Also, the same shirt she was wearing when she got kidnapped ​@KH-hu9sv

[@benconnor3206]

Mandy was absolutely incredible, hands down cage’s Best performance since wild at heart

[@devinmichaelroberts9954]

what are you talking about, it was okay. It wasn't much of a role at all, he had a few screams, a few lines of dialogue. Hardly a challenging role at all. He has way more better roles, like adaptation, leaving las vegas, etc. etc. tons more in fact.

[@Im9002glorious]

Bad Detective had Prime Cage

[@Free-JackWolff]

Cant wait

[@fierro7771]

Agreed

[@NocturnalTerror]

You should watch Joe if you haven't.

[@weston6226]

2:00 to 4:03 Nic Cage perfectly explains the problem with the film Industry nowadays. I wish we get more films like Mandy where it just tries to be a movie without the intent of wanting to make a fortune and not having so many producers and companies getting too involve in the work that a director has a vision he wants to put on screen without anyone else meddling with it. And actors like Nic, love or hate him, is genuine. And after watching the Mandy, he totally does deserve an Oscar, same goes with the movie itself. Nic and the film not having the intent of wanting one has earned my respect even more!

[@bellnexxia3443]

Weston One was enough!

[@Wolfsheim23]

We have every variety in film today

[@Bert_Berzerk]

Everything has to make a billion dollars now. I’m tired of it.

[@toddmichaeljohnson7139]

I agree! Let the artists make their art, and not some suits in a conference room deciding if it’s worth viewing 💰 🤔 There a huge disconnect between art and financial profit.

[@whateverjustposting]

hey man i think youre on to something here

[@jmanson3310]

This movie is such a beautiful piece of art. Highly recommended.

[@calipanhead]

There is something going on in film today which I kind of refer to as "The Tyranny of Perfection", which is that on a craftsman level everything needs to be seen as utterly precise and perfect or seen as a failure. I kinda like rough edges on things you know? Sometimes I will just allow those to exist and I find those more beautiful in a way. ~ Panos Cosmatos SO much truth in this statement.

[@DEMfilmsJWalsh]

H.I. McDunnough Kubrick is to blame. But Kubrick did a lot of takes mainly cause he was never satisfied with what he got and he didn’t trust what he wanted initially.

[@zaroffhound]

Right on the money. Accidents occur throughout Nature. And she's an expert.

Yep. We just watched the interview, but thanks anyway, I guess?

[@MrShibaMX]

There is something going on in "society" today which I kind of refer to as "The Tyranny of Perfection" ... wise words indeed

[@burningmisery]

Visionary director who doesn't think he's god, and knows he will makes mistakes, so f--- it, let's do the best we can. And he obviously can. Linus and Cage did their best. Hopefully Panos will get more chances to make similar movies, without any studio or producer interferences. This is what the guys at RLM talk about when they say indie movies are the last great movie worth seeing in cinemas.

[@wojovox]

Director got me with his point about the Tyranny of Perfection. Flaws should be embraced, not eliminated.

I love how the director doesn't seem greatly articulate but Nicholas Cage is just so into it and carries it. He's right too, Mandy was an amazing movie.

Fantastic dark film.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Loved Mandy. And loved what Cage said about filmmaking, in that when you make a film without thinking about how well it will do in theaters or if anyone will like it that’s when you enjoy it most.

[@inferno0020]

i am not a heavy metal fan but a fan of Cage's early action movies. I have to say Mandy has restored Cage's full action glory

Linus needs more roles, so underrated actor. He has been great so far on everything ive seen him in

[@g.andrew3398]

Nicolas Cage is a talented person,we need more movies with him, he is from the best school and they don't do that quality and passion anymore, however he needs a good advisor.

[@tourist1313]

G. Andrews yup. I agree. He is of a different caliber. People dislike him because they’ve been trained to like subtle performances as if that’s what makes a good performance Nicolas Cage brims with emotion and he never phones it in even when he’s in the lowest budget film.

[@alcottdevalte7440]

Nic is brilliant, I hope he gets some nice roles again.

[@timetoreact9661]

People make fun of Nic Cage all the time but honestly he's a fascinating man and an actor who's truly dedicated and in love with his craft. Yes he does some cheesy movies and yes he is famous for his freakouts in films but he is a great actor and before Mandy I watched him in 8mm and it sold me on how good of an actor he really is.
