Room Tone 2023

[@CultureDTCTV]

Seeing Bong Joon Ho fidgeting with his fingers while Nights of Cabiria soundtrack plays is truly kino

[@antoinepetrov]

I love this French New Wave vibe all these videos have. Incredible fun and the spirit of cinema and liberation blended together beautifully

[@daRealB-Rex]

Criterion can y’all give us a physical release of Killers of the Flower Moon?

[@josephtarantino112]

I second this!

[@daviswiggin4425]

Don't do it, Criterion! Just to piss these guys off. (But then actually do it.)

[@MrBGS101]

It's not a matter of if, but when.

[@isaacmartinez6904]

It’s inevitable.

[@Progger11]

​@@isaacmartinez6904much like Thanos

[@TheMikenanners]

Nice use of the Nights of Cabiria score.

[@ablazedark]

mr. scorsese is a cinema giant, a living history, a monolith. please enable all the resources for him to be able to make movies as he wants.

[@Jim_Limmons]

Hell of a year for room tone Tony !

[@ZavtoKino]

Absolute bliss, awesome idea. I can't wait to see what you guys have in store for 2024!

[@DannyAgama]

This is brilliant, thank you Criterion team.

[@EverythingInFrame]

Whoever edits these, beautiful work.

[@davidbrianheard5457]

Please do more Studio Visit videos! I love seeing how the cover art is made❤

[@artpinsof5836]

Silence is so beautiful 😌

[@rostasi]

When?

[@morpword]

I felt like seeing my heroes in a video wow, thanks

[@physicalmediaodyssey]

Nice. Right up there with the Cinema Paradiso montage!😁👍

[@sainttrai]

I even stayed quiet while watching

[@elichilton7031]

Brilliant! Reminds of a Frederick Wiseman doc, or Errol Morris. To all you little filmmakers out there, always remember, "Silence is Golden."

[@BelleOrchestre]

Genuinely very glad I sat through that--unlike all the roomtones I've ever had to record.

[@francescadiamico9660]

One of my favorite Nino Rota compositions!

[@shysonofficial]

2:16 that look near made me cry

[@kiman1609]

Fellini and his colleague Rota are everywhere if we talk about cinema seriously.

[@heynowls3058]

Excellent. Ty.

[@skylark5789]

The title of the song, translated is, "But Life Goes On."

[@zhyar.zheera]

Beautiful Thanks

[@shiven513]

Pure bliss

[@mattbutler6228]

the human being is an exceptional animal

[@moviemazlow]

Fantastic, thank you!

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

Best video ever

[@LinCMA]

I love you all!

[@cineturon]

Do you record room tone before or after the interview?

[@Lazer_puppy]

Any chance of an individual release for Wong Kar Wai's 2046

[@micpoc4597]

This was not the ASMR feast I was expecting… but I enjoyed it nevertheless.

[@Dylanbolton69]

Please release blu rays of The Idiots by Lars von Trier and Drugstore Cowboy by Gus Van Sant and I’ll never ask for anything else

[@lolizorz]

Where the hell do I see these?

[@tony_mucci]

Nice

[@Cramsism]

Best. Supp. Evar.

[@AmySharzer]

Could someone tell us where these clips are from and how can we see individual videos? Thanks! 😊😊😊

[@KoliNapoliPizzaStudio]

Come on, Criterion, you do not just add music to a video titled as room tone, we wanna hear the various room tones and be there.

[@aztro4010]

Any chance for Blu-ray releases of the following: They Fought For Their Country (Soviet Union) The Brothers Karamazov (Soviet Union) La Grande Guerra (Italy) The Promised Land (Poland) The Deluge (Poland) Dogville (Denmark) The Third Generation (West Germany) Red Beard (Japan) Lacombe Lucien (France) The Winter War (Finland) The Wind That Shakes The Barley (Ireland)

[@phexus]

Nice music, but I wanted to hear all the different room tones :)

[@aroundsevilla]

Que bonito, joder.. ese silencio

[@szde]

Wouldn't it have been nice to hear the room tone in a video about room tone (even though the Rota music is lovely)?

[@ForNoOne1]

That was my first thought lol

[@imgoodbye9252]

It's not about the room tone lmao

[@joeyasaperson]

like if you did the hand thing Bong was doing

[@brendn]

I should have watched this sober.

[@scoogsy]

What is room tone?

[@juanpablovallejos8762]

[@mistermp_1811]

what is the guy at 2:13 hitting?

[@artpinsof5836]

The most Criterion KZbin video ever 😅 “Room Tone”, also known as the natural reverb and resonance of a room Now I’m curious, how many films in the past or present attempted to remove Room Tone.. & how many ADR (voice over) sessions artificially add in Room Tone 😆

[@nabiltarantino1202]

Wish they didn't add music.

[@rostasi]

How can it be room tone when all I hear is Nino Rota?

[@ntb213]

Literally begging for a physical Color of Money

[@gutterbaby8382]

I didn't know Louis Garrel was a vapist

[@jjwdpod]

garrel vaping sym

[@wheelofwater]

woah is that steve mcqueen looking skinny?

[@astrogallotron]

🤫🤐

[@disquiet]

It seems odd to have this music playing, right? Why not actually have the room tone? Time for a director's cut! :)

[@TheMikenanners]

Never out of place to have some Nino Rota in the background.

[@erikandersenphoto631]

They are creating an art piece out of these unguarded moments. But if you’d rather hear silence, you know what to do!

[@disquiet]

@@erikandersenphoto631Hi. Just to be clear, room tone isn't silence in the sense of no sound. Muting the videos isn't room tone. The video is fun, certainly; it's just not room tone.

[@erikandersenphoto631]

@@disquietyeah I was just being catty. But just because a video is called something, doesn’t mean it has to slavishly depict that thing.

[@disquiet]

​@@erikandersenphoto631 That is very true, it needn't. I guess I just wish in this case it had. A boy can dream. :)

[@drumbum3.142]

Criterion Collection is Hard if not Impossible to beat. A few others Equal it (A24, Screen Australia, & WildBunch for example) but none surpass it. 💯 The ONE Film; out of a (mostly) disappointing and underwhelming year that (Surprisingly) Radiated and Glowed like Bottled Rainbow Lightning was (and is) Guardians of the Galaxy Volume Three. 🎨 Poor Things is Special, Too.. 🎨 (Will Gladly Unpack Any and/or All of this Further if applicable.)

[@morpword]

Second Run Collection, and arrow video are good but as you said can’t be good as criterion. It keeps the passion of cinema in it’s name

[@drumbum3.142]

@Themanwhosoldthemajortom While on the Topic I'd Also +Add Neon, Magnolia, and IFC to that list as well..

[@morpword]

@@drumbum3.142 i didn’t heard any of these before

[@drumbum3.142]

@Themanwhosoldthemajortom Check 'em Out. They have some Stellar Stuff.

[@princesmith8008]

Taxi Driver needs a 4k release from Criterion just like Raging Bull. Too bad those filthy jag-offs made it exclusive for that dumbass Columbia boxset

[@ThongNguyen-fl9jp]

why have music to a video about room tone? let us enjoy the silence with a re-uploaded edit please. i could just mute the volume, but that's not the right feel.

[@aarond9563]

Tbh so cool seeing more and more black people in this. But this year you should have made us sit in silence with them. Obviously not nearly as engaging for a KZbin video, but... could have been a cool observation this time around. Also at 2:36 he looks just like Vinicious Junior at that moment when he's smiling 😯

[@grandmaknarf]

“Hey Mr Scorsese why did you petition for the release of Roman Polanski” I probably would have asked something like that but otherwise great job Criterion!

[@TheMikenanners]

Guy just malfunctions on the spot and sparks start flying out.

[@jman8449]

That list ruined my perception of so many of my cinematic heroes
