NYFF52 "Birdman" Q&A | Alejandro G. Iñárritu + Cast

Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, and Amy Ryan discuss "Birdman" during a press conference at the 52nd New York Film Festival.
One-time action hero Riggan Thomson (a jaw-dropping Michael Keaton) stages his own adaptation of Raymond Carver’s "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love" while contending with a scene-hogging narcissist, a vulnerable actress, and an unhinged girlfriend for co-stars; a resentful daughter; a manager who’s about to come undone... and his ego, the inner demon of the superhero that made him famous, Birdman.

That bit from Norton at the end was great.

[@DodderingOldMan]

Soooooo happy to see Inarritu get some recognition from the Oscars. The man is a genius.

[@JosephDutra]

Buffoon1980 Yeah, a shame Michael Keaton didn't win Best Actor though.

[@237schibe_]

He had tons of nominations before Birdman

[@naturalbornbasterds]

@@237schibe_ yeah but he wasn't as known in the rest of the world i think

[@kiriasun4736]

The guy who interviews, 2:17 - 2:22 that laugh and suddenly stopped, i wonder what was he thinking...

[@annacoribioanna]

I love hearing the director talk, his accent is entertaining and they always have the best humor! (Alfonso Cuaron, Inarritu and Del Toro)

[@system_eneve]

Alejandro G Iñárritu - Life takes care that all of us will fail in our solemn attempts to succeed and transcend, in our stupid ideas of transcendent art, or money making, or whatever importance we think we are. Life will take care to tell us no. And that I found it incredibly tragic, but at the same time beautifully funny. If you don't take life with that humor, not cynicism, you can't survive. Thats the only way we as human beings can survive laughing at ourselves a little bit and having a little better time

[@Pantano63]

Exactly, like Gandhi said "If I had no sense of humor I would've killed myself a long time ago. "

[@ganyerlopez7340]

and what about that stupid???

[@JosephDutra]

One of the most truthful things I have ever heard.

[@yeromey1]

Alejandro is as brilliant, as brilliant can be!!

[@helloimroubin4752]

Birdman is one of the best movies of all time

[@cocopopcoven]

I was only 14 when this movie was released and I recall talk of my grandparents going to the cinema to see it, I’ve only just had the absolute privilege of watching this film like no other and I’ve been making art in multiple medias and it’s just been endlessly inspiring and enlightening in it’s melancholy, I cannot tell you how much I adore this film and the actors and actresses and Alejandro’s vision, this film was my introduction to many beautiful people and I’m just so grateful this film was made and exists… I’m also so jealous of my grandparents for getting to be stunned by seeing this masterpiece on the big screen ☹️💔

[@luxi378]

what an all around impressive film..... funny, mysterious, thought-provoking.. and in the end, literally uplifting:-)

[@arihalli]

Best movie i have ever seen~!!! Norton and Stone and Risebourugh were amazing....Keaton was very very good./.... Congrads Alejandro Inarritu, what a gem!

[@mandalayfilmclub]

4:23 Imagine Edward Norton looking down on you from the stage and telling you to shut up lmao

[@prall0915]

Actually he told them to settle down. Hilarious! 😆😆

[@hufflepuff89]

Birdman is the best film I've seen this year, a huge thank you to everyone that was involved in the making of this truly fantastic experience. And thank you for uploading the Q and A, I've been wanting to talk about Birdman since I saw it last week and since my friends haven't made it to the picture show this video gave me just the insight I needed.

[@ManereVerum]

Holy shit, Inarritu is fucking awesome!!

[@zxbc1]

These questions are terrible. It is as if most journalists in the audience didn't really get what the movie is about.

[@eliaschevette]

I hate people who use questions to talk about themselves. Just ask the question that you really want to know.

[@heatrayzvideo3007]

i agree

[@christianarce801]

Yup

[@SuperFastEddies]

Im so glad this film got the recognition it deserves. Everything was amazing from the acting to directing and cinematography.

[@Stormybabe17]

I find that the Lincoln Center Audience's are the most abrasive when it comes to the Q&A portion. They also seem to inquire about shit that is not even apparent to the films director.

[@anks409]

WOW man ,just wow. the clarity and introspection of innaritu has all manifested in these years, starting from babel,biutiful and now this birdman. i have not seen the film but i am anticipating something larger than internal life stuff here in this film. the 3 devise completely their own kind of films, with structure and compartment we all inhabit so unconsciously in our mundane life, and makes it interesting, engaging and refreshing. these amigos of west are sure leading themselves to be remembered 1000 years from now. they go beyond. hope michael keaton comes to be great as i have pictured him in my mind. race with oneself is always challenging and, exploring in the realms of unknown.

[@annacoribioanna]

Really enjoyed Inarritu's description! very insightful and REAL something we all go through at some point.. can't wait to see the movie.

[@annacoribioanna]

everyone was so amazing I love the movie and all the quotes are stuck in my head!

[@senexvester7003]

I know it's not the point of the video, but I just wanted to mention how much I love and appraciate people who are not English native speakers but anyway they aren't ashamed to speak English with their accents, that's lovely

[@Ubercubertuber]

30:30 Michael Keaton LOL'd.

[@rajnish8918]

Oh man this is one of the movies u cant fucking forget even after a long long time.. like the pianist, the Schindler's list, the dark knight..masterpiece is probably an understatement for this movie..

[@anagb8511]

muy bien por los mexicanos otro acierto vamos por mas.

[@Daspitta1]

everyone did great

[@itamhoe]

best film ever...

[@jb9090]

It’s a masterpiece

[@pack1357924680]

andrea riseborough dresses in an interesting manner

[@annatilly5943]

Muito gato esse Alejandro😜😜😍😍😍😍

[@HeatherBerman]

Now this was my kinda Q&A just perfect...Please Mr Alejandro González Iñárritu might you have a small role for me in your next film :) As a theatre actor first and a film actor later in life...I especially loved the way this film was shot and the fact that the actors had to rely on oneanother. When on stage, one is always aware of who you feel safe with and who you do not feel safe with. it appears they all had each others back and they needed to along with the camera, lighting and sound people...what a wonderful experience they all had...a real dream project for any creative type willing to leap.

[@ikicaq]

Great. Thanks for posting this. Why have you not uploaded the Gone Girl press conference?

[@FreonTheFrozen]

Alejandro is a G!!

[@danielcropp8553]

Interviewer looks like a budget Lin-Manuel Miranda.

[@emptypocketsandiego]

totally what I was thinking as well!

[@libroslectores5611]

I love this movie, it was a new way to make movie

[@amyclair22]

chingones !!

[@vicdiaz6595]

Turgid semi religious pretentious to encompass all the emotion of the world! THAT SOUNDS FANTASTIC!!!

[@stregadisalem]

That was my favorite part, hilarious!

[@dena92]

HILIARIOUS :D

[@luckypistol69]

You can tell Zach was completely sober he looks very anxious and nervous

[@omardavidramirezcarrillo7247]

Charles Mingus born in Nogales, Arizona

[@DiegoProgressive]

"Osea I mean" jajaja

[@rosellasolorzano878]

Michael Keaton was awesome.

[@kingofthefountain3091]

I’d love to know if Inarritu saw Guy Ritchie’s Revolver. Very similar themes and structure.

[@djbutler9747]

In my opinion Zach made this interview

[@thundergrace]

Movie outtakes...Movie in a movie....thought-provoking.cuz he overlaps reality and make believe...and how artists angst is switching on and off...I thought it was a bit drawn out. But for most part thought-provoking and relevant.. you are all relevant artists. Thanks helps me food for thought.

[@mariamachado4585]

these questions suck! Great sound bites and an amazing film by Alejandro Iñárritu

[@siqpuppie]

Whats up with Alejadros pants?

[@siqpuppie]

look at his pants at the start of the interview..lol wtf

[@SuperFastEddies]

#KeatonGotRobbed

[@wstml555]

It looks like a great movie. I've even heard that Keaton could be nominated for an Academy Award. So in the movie is the Birdman just a movie character he played or was he/is he an actual superhero? Every superhero has a villian, who is Birdmans enemy? Will this be like the Will Smith movie Hancock where he is washed up and has to get his mojo back.

[@lujorom9172]

wstml555 in retrospect this comment is hilarious

[@amolkakde5751]

stupid questions???? for great movie n for great people!

[@yneshAshanti]

The amount of awkward jokes and cricket moments.. 🦗 🦗

[@joserochapinto500]

Who said good??

[@alf3654]

Acaso Edward quiso decir "Manuela"? O.o jajajaja 13:43

[@jgrau5089]

Dijo Manhola, se referia a la experta en cine del New York Times, Manhola Dargis

[@alf3654]

Oh, que desilusion jaja :(

[@thehandleisuseless]

el tio de jaime

[@line5022]

hahaha what the hell was the nose question about?!

[@kaikingsland]

after riggan gets bandaged, his nose looks like birdman's. I think she was asking about the importance of that, the fact that he he looks very similar to birdman, his alter-ego, or rather, the embodiment of his own ego. I think it's especially interesting considering the fact that riggan then rejects birdman and tells him to fuck off.

[@lujorom9172]

kaikingsland thank you that makes a lot of sense

[@cherylkolatorowicz563]

What terrible microphones!!

[@pedrocasique7352]

¡El güey del Alejandro viene acá y habla en inglés; estando allá habla como mecsican el muy chaquetas!

[@buscadordeamor]

Manola whould really help them a lot!! that is very mexican double sense. manola = mano= hand, and what you can do with "manola" to relieve stress. Norton lived with a mexican and obviously knows the double sense involved. ha ha ha. I won`t say any more!

[@monicaanastasiadis6468]

buscadordeamor what exactly does Norton mean by "manola"?

[@Pawl2]

Michael Keaton, great actor, but hes a bit of a bumbling fool isnt it :(

[@chrisgreer7653]

Abe I. I'm pretty sure Pawl2 is from the UK. Saying "isn't it" at the end of a sentence is a very common way of saying "no?" or "right?" ... And he is right, in fact.

[@heatrayzvideo3007]

No

[@moondoogle]

This audience is terrible.

[@Brolito23]

Iñarritu is a rabbid anti dentite!!

[@drfloyd82]

what's that?

[@Brolito23]

Its just a Seinfeld reference

[@drfloyd82]

Jonathan Brolo but what does that mean?

[@howtobleachyourhair]

This Audience sucks at questions lmao. Why did Naomi have a fake nose?? Like cmon

[@Vipa567]

This director talks far too much

[@stregadisalem]

It's his film!! What the hell do you expect? It's his creative conception from start to finish. He can talk all he wants. If you're bored, jump to the next question. I find it a real treat that Inarritu is willing to let us in on his thought process and the behind the scenes details. Most other directors are vague and brief especially when the questions they get asked are as bad as these are.

[@cctsb]

did you like the movie?

[@Vipa567]

I did but what does that have to do with the director talking too much

[@cctsb]

Just that, enjoy his movies, don't hear him talk haha

[@prizzzma]

that is the cruel thing about the star sistem that produce "blockbuster" movies, the concept of autor means nothing for the big majority of people who goes to the movies..and yes, its his movie its his work ..
