Pedro Almodóvar is one true cinema genius and never compromise his style.

[@dwalden74]

Agreed. Almodovar is one of the true greats of cinema.

[@pedrobakale7180]

i love the way the english says Pedro: It s like Peedrow

[@kamiikam]

Peydrow

[@norm3844]

Americans say it that way. English can at least do Pedro right

[@rodiaz6652]

@@norm3844 He meant English speakers

[@wellesradio]

Can't argue with that. When I think of the word "Master" in filmmaking of this generation, the first name that pops into my head is Almodóvar. Like Hitchcock he's so good he's a genre and an adjective by himself.

[@hippopictures]

Amazing artists that admire other artists makes them ten times more amazing.

[@andreacigala2709]

I love them both and this just made me literally cry

[@fep_ptcp883]

I'd love having Quentin saying a simple "hello" to me... let alone expressing this kind of admiration!

[@lunes-1]

Lovely message from great Tarantino👍

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

I don't know how I missed this! Both Pedro and Quentin are in my top 5 favorite directors of all time, so this was so beautiful to see! (Much like that David Lynch shout-out to Pedro, another member of my top 5!)

[@blackforest825]

Wow. What a great message. And seriously - who deserves it more than Pedro Almodovar? Yet again blew my mind, now with Parallel Mothers.

[@abstractaeon]

You can see that they influence each other, their work is wonderful

[@llamero]

Honorable!!! The humble admission of the greatness of someone else makes him even greater. What a beautiful gesture.

[@emiliobello2538]

I hope Pedro gets an Oscar win for Best Director

[@loninobar]

The very 1st movie was Woman On A Verge of A Breakdown,,Tie Me Up Tie Me Down, and lots more I can't think of on a snap,, great Spanish actors in his movies , Antonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz, the later in Volver,,great movies. Open ur mind!! Get out of ur comfort zone,,u'll be glad u did.

[@petergambaccini7396]

See "Parallel Mothers."

[@AT-cy7im]

I knew Quentin would b a fan of Pedro I have seen Pedros movies for the past 25 years and I love seeing them again Some years ago when I saw Quentins work I hoped he would know Pedro And now I know he does That’s awesome

[@Hoboken90]

WOw... one of my fav directors tributing another fav director, how sweet

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

Pedro Almodóvar is brilliant and unique.

[@onimarikar]

Like the way that a girl reacts to situations with a nuanced response rather than the way that guys respond directly to things. Pedro gets that and he allows a girl to feel that character and that moment on her own. And he coaches her at the same time.

[@anu14283]

never heard Tarantino speaking in this octave before😂

[@stuntmanbob90]

with glasses he looks like a professor ;)

[@Racrblpg]

hope they can work together some time!!

[@thecapricorn11]

no

[@HotPocketsBoy]

wow. imagine quentin as your film professor?

[@Starkardur]

Too much talking not enough teaching

[@braviera]

wow. imagine almodovar as your film professor?

[@andreacigala2709]

I bet Tarantino would be the strictest professor, who fails you for not remembering the most obscure piece of information. With Almodovar you'd smoke a joint and take pictures in the backyard :)

[@jamielee7404]

@@Starkardur then you don't know how to listen because he's not "just talking". But hey, that's why he's an actual legend and you're an envious nobody who's only creation are negative comments.

[@thewestshow7]

this is so cute

[@eduardovasquez5803]

sounds so competitive

As a Spaniard I couldn’t be more proud.

[@emiliobello2429]

I want Almodovar to win Best Documentary

[@Iker122]

classy

[@ssslace]

[@antoniocarlosburinsammarti915]

Were his mom at that tv news show on his old movies? Dude's fantastic.

[@vins1979]

This is good, but nothing can beat David Lynch's "Is this Peidrou? Where is Peidrou???"

[@dungbui1341]

His brother, Gustavo Almadovar, is also a renowned reporter.

[@fitchmate2321]

Oh Quentin teach me the ways! ;)

[@s27945]

甄甄~~~

[@lizard614]

TARANTINO = EPIC

[@fernandorobles]

Lol he's reading

[@KissMyArs1]

When Tarantino wears glasses, you know he's not gonna say "Fuck"!

[@Ethanamzg]

No entiendo porque Quentin Tarantino y Pedro Almodóvar nunca hicieron dupla para una película Hubiera Sido maravilloso

[@TheJabberwock]

Violence in art form doesn't make real violence happen. It's the other way around.

[@suginami123]

Fabuloud

[@TheMrTJWhite]

haha it looks like Scorsese is saying that in your picture.

[@el_torrez75191]

Academy, you better give this man the Oscar for best original screenplay O_O

[@roathripper]

what 'things' ?

[@WVUsax27]

Going for the Woody Allen look

[@kavijackson868]

DAMN SKIPPY!!!!

[@lunakick12]

I thought he's inching for a glass of whiskey here.

[@onimarikar]

I agree. And he understands certain things about Women that no other director would get.

[@sehu1291]

Thought man quentin aged a lot. Than I saw this clip is 11 years old. glasses can change the look of a human a lot 😂

[@petergambaccini7396]

I'd like to hear what Tarantino thinks of "Parallel Mothers,": a towering achievement with a great personal story and a staggering anti-fascist "second" theme.

[@UtwoOneMaster]

jahahahahah!! LOOL

[@manueleliashuaringanolasco8872]

No se nada de ingles, pero si tiene que ver con Tarantino y Almodóvar, lo veo de ley.

[@Starkardur]

Emulate? Of course

[@fitchmate2321]

Haha yes!

[@SuperPhexx]

Sarcasm has destroyed me... I was waiting for a stab at the end there...

[@damianodebiasi5894]

chissà cosa avrebbe detto Fellini di Tarantino

[@valentinvanruiz]

Pedro Almodovar is best European director of all time. Tarantino is the best American director of all time. One represents Spanish/european culture. The other American culture. Two different things

[@kurtangle83]

Kind of reminds me of Robin Williams with this look.

[@mrronan2007]

Question are you not shutting him down ? Is a man that glamourises violence prob resulting in people's deaths entitled to make public broadcasts for as it was seen in news interview shut the interviewer down ? Like he shut down the you tube comments . Why are you tube shutting any comments down . Why is this happening ? Why have a dialogue and comments facility and shut it down for certain people?

[@antonisete]

He entendido.... Pedro deja de llevar tu dinero a Panamá y paga lo que debes en España.

[@elmajockfun1608]

El cine de Almodóvar es parecido al de tarantino

[@elmajockfun1608]

????

[@sleuthentertainment5872]

How many millions you had recieved, Tarantino, my friend, to say all that bullsh*t?

[@szabolcsimre3636]

not even in the same kindergarden.. ' psych..

[@dubman50]

Awesome interweb discussion thingy here people... Anyone here even know or watched anything by Almodavar?... -Talking to you tubes of dumbness floating all around these threads.. -Ye, I said it... :P

[@gtella31]

Yes, classic comedies that are cheesy movies. At least for spanish people.

[@gtella31]

Not every one, but still cheesy

[@57yearoldjamesbond]

Seen five of his movies

[@djhart25]

stick to being behind the camera? ya know quentin has a role in pretty much every one of his films? by the way CAPS LOCK DOESN'T GET YOUR POINT ACROSS BETTER. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kavijackson868]

YOUR RIGHT ACTIONS DO... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@avecesar4244]

And many people hate him cause he expresses his political ideas on tv and cause he receives money from the state for his films. How do they explain that many people around the world admire his cinema and consider him almost a genius? Hitchcock never received an Oscar, Hitchcock!! and was despised for being too commercial. Envy is a very common sin around the world...

[@jeandubois8810]

Quentin is good. But, Almodovar is better. Being American is difficult to wash off I think.

[@AT-cy7im]

Well Almodovar is just amazing 🤩 Glad Quentin is a fan as well

[@fernandoayuela]

I wish I never saw this video. Wtf

[@croix6208]

Why

[@reubennichols644]

Yeah . W h y ? ? ?

[@Cristina-xi5od]

Quentin is just awful. Rips off literally every movie he's ever done or written. Even music is recycled from the same movies... Cringe Please don't fool yaself into believing that Pedro Would ever give you the time of day...He's heavyweight

[@andreacigala2709]

"Rips off and recycles" yeah that's how art is made...
