"Oh Baz, really??" Baz Luhrmann on Lana Del Rey, Radiohead and Leonardo DiCaprio's Great Gatsby meme

[@bbcradio1]

Where do you if you're outside of the UK? I would love to watch whole episodes!

‘It’s always easy chatting with you.’ That really comes across. These videos are only as great as they are because of Ali’s ability to make it seem like a conversation more than an interview.

Baz Luhrmann is a fantastic director. I'm always obsessed how stylish his movies looks just like the way he dressed. He and his wife are amazing filmmaking team

My favorite movie of Baz is Moulin Rouge and this man is just a phenomenal movie maker! He is visual focused with a lot of details and make all of his movies aesthetically pleasing, amazing writing and phenomenal cinematography and directing. He really has a good eye for beauty and to really bring emotions to the viewers. Best movie director/producer ever❤️

For some reason I have absolutely no memory of hearing Exit Music in R+J, and I had no moment of recognition when I heard it on the album later, but I do clearly remember TSH and the shot of Leo in a suit smoking in the sunset, mainly because that awesome guitar riff just stuck in my head.

[@RonaldReaganRocks1]

The fishtank scene from "Romeo + Juliet" is truly iconic. One of the greatest scenes in cinema history, and maybe the best uses of music ever ('Kissing You," by Des'ree). Also, old school film looks WAY better than the digital crap they've got going on these days. Tell everyone to see this film!

@@dolourfitzgibbon6065 does he own his mind though? Did he ask for a frozen face because he thought it was beautiful? Or did he have a face-lift and botox to make himself more appealing to the general public? Cause it looks to me like he is trying to achieve beauty standards set by society, not by him.

Baz and I are the same age. And I honestly believe that those of us nestled awkwardly between the Boomers and Gen X have a unique perspective on the world, which might be why I have always felt a special connection to his work.

I think he was sick when they were filming this interview, it had to be at the beginning of the promotion of Elvis, I remember his instagram posts during that time and his voice sounded weird and he also looked very tired, in his most recent stories he doesn't look or sound like that. I remember reading that he was really exhausted when he finished the movie.

Not a fan of his although I agree he's immensely talented. His movies are like music videos. I can't stand that. It makes them look incredibly superficial. Hated Moulin Rouge for that reason. Also horrible miscasting of Kidman and McGregor , especially their awful singing. Kidman just doesn't suit musical or comedy. She's best at drama.
