I can tell that Robert is tired of some of these questions, his headspace is clearly on The Northman

oh its u

@@doong2422 hello there

[@daddysmolf2135]

I can't wait for The Northman to come out! The Lighthouse was one of the best movies from the last ten years, and made me look at movies in such a diffrent way, it's like it re-weired my brain in somehow!

What’d you think of it?

The Lighthouse is one of the most inventive films I've ever seen. It's unfortunate it wasn't more recognized by the Academy.

[@Rickie_Speed]

I agree. I'm hoping it gets a late cult following

[@Ulfhednar1993]

Current academy is a joke, if u dont have strong independent black transgender women they will not care

[@harrisonhoward5814]

I have never seen this mans films, but I have never watched so many reviews, analyses and interviews for two films (mainly The Lighthouse). I love the process he goes through when making his films. He’s truly an inspiration to me.

[@CyckOne]

Why haven’t you seen his movies yet? Are you gonna get on that soon? lol

[@harrisonhoward5814]

@@CyckOne ofc ofc, I just don’t have anything where I can watch his films.

​@@harrisonhoward5814Did you ever watch his films? Curious what you thought lol

[@tonywords6713]

"i no longer have an apartment in NY" lol watch him pull a Kubrick and never come back

[@dirkthedaring5131]

Well look at his face 😂 minus the hair and bags under his eyes, he’s becoming Stanley haha

[@tonywords6713]

Dirk The Daring can't say I blame them. more and more people are wising up to what always been clear to me, US is a sinking ship.. I desperately want off

[@dirkthedaring5131]

tonywords couldn’t agree more lmao

tonywords Is there any way we may hasten you in your departure?

Helmut's Ecke yeah. try wearing a mask and voting against the fascists.

24:48 lol, he said "doo-doo."

[@Dousch]

I was fascinated to see Zack Snyder go on stream and flip through his huge design books earlier this year. This video continues that fascination. I dream of the day when more director's release their production books in print. Surely Egger's books would all be bound in black with white, carefully chosen, period-accurate fonts.

This is so great

[@harrisonrosemont]

how did you get him to do this interview?

[@mawoj93]

Film Independent is an organizer of Spirit Awards, which are attended by many prominent indie film directors and actors. They're just posting during the lockdown ceremonies from the past. Eggers has a Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay for The Witch and was nominated for Best Director for The Lighthouse.

[@___dungeon___]

( 33:15 ) he refers to "can of the past" being very difficult. what is can of the past? am i hearing it wrong?

[@GutsTheGhost]

"Cannes" he's talking about the film festival

[@StanleyKubricksBeard]

Other than Valkyrie, does anyone know what other books/authors he mentions that he reads for pleasure? I couldn’t quite make out the authors he mentioned 🤔

[@dimkilago2958]

Who is the greek director he said?

[@l4mb021]

Theo Angelopoulos

I adore Herr Eggers’ films full stop. Pity the boyo’s sporting that dreadful Brooklyn hipster look. Surely a young man of his prowess will be able to grow out if it.

What does his appearance have to do with his work?

So now people can't have a beard or glasses without being called a hipster? I guess my grandfather is a hipster then.
