Willem Dafoe Talks About His Role In "At Eternity's Gate"

[@TheBadLiutenant]

This interview is profound as fuck. They don't just talk about what movies are or what painting is but about life. As someone who started painting a little bit recently this interview and especially Willem's insights had a strong effect on me.

[@Atlas65]

After I saw the the film I Willem Dafoe gained a whole new respect from me.... After this interview way more.

[@MrRacine67]

Dafoe is a very eloquent and intelligent man. And one of the greatest american actors of all time.

[@flowerbomb333]

Definately. DaFoe has an element of acting that I find extremely rare in the craft. He is, without question, one of the very greatest and one of whom I seriously admire

Oh yeah definitely

Probably the best movie I have ever seen! I finally saw it this past weekend. It affected me intensely! I followed it up with the Paul Gaugin movie about his trip to Tahiti which is the reason PG leaves his room mate situation with VVG. It was a great, fuller perspective! It also gave perspective to the letter that PG sends VG. If you haven't seen this, it's a must watch! Great interview! The best I've seen yet with Dafoe on his VVG character.

What is the Gaugin Movie called

[@bluearbor6775]

@@JoeLaRocca It's called, "Journey To Tahiti." Enjoy!

[@MISTASHARPSHOOTA]

This is quite literally one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen.

[@KJensenStudio]

'Inhabiting a character'; method acting on steroids! I adore Dafoe's dedication to his craft, and this was a very well thought-out interview with intelligent questions. Now I must see this movie, and maybe paint. Thank you.

[@garydflatt4904]

I just watched the film, I think it was wonderful. While sailing my boat through the Marquises Islands I visited the site of where Paul Gauguin is buried. And I bought every postcard they had from the little local country store. This was in 1993. I should post pictures of those days sailing, on my Facebook page. Beautiful memories.

[@imamorninglory]

Did you ever post those photos from your trip on Facebook? I'd love to see them... They sound wonderful and I've never been there. Would enjoy seeing a few of your favorite post cards too! Hope you're doing well and are happy. Take Care ⛵️🗺 🏝

This was my surprise movie for this year I found on Netflix...one of my top favorites.

[@ines3171]

My favorite actor, so talented and real...

[@elicastelli9728]

Fascinating to listen to Dafoe - a must see.

[@michg8969]

I can't wait to see this - I only managed 5 minutes of "Loving Vincent" and need to expunge the memory of it!

[@chrisbaerart]

You didn't manage to watch Loving Vincent? WHY? It's brilliant and the amount of creative work that went into it is astounding. Go back to it - give it a chance.

[@michg8969]

You're right - I didn't give it enough of a chance. God knows, I'll probably be disappointed with the Dafoe movie too after all the expectations I've put in it!

[@chrisbaerart]

@@michg8969 I went to the Dafoe film with mixed expectations. I was pleasantly surprised...as was everyone else in the theater. If you go into it realizing that it's a representation of who Vincent was and not 100% historically accurate I think you'll love it. It's a visual wonder.

[@matttheman9740]

I know what you mean! The first 10 minutes of the film, I wasn't feeling it but, I kept watching and towards the middle, I was hooked.

[@Bodyknowledge77]

This was an inspiring and stimulating chat.

[@ladolcevita7793]

I love him so much ,,,,,,,, what an inelegant man and a talented actor 🙏❤️

[@raymondpiper8294]

I love that bit at 19.40, to me its a allusion to the famous quote, am i what i think or am i what i do.

I love that Elena from Billy on the Street was front row 29:34

[@tunitiht]

I like him because this movie

[@loricolbo5916]

The best thing about the movie was Dafoe's portrayal.

[@jeremyking9094]

Loved the movie so happy it was made!

[@Ts-oo7je]

You know, I'm something of a painter myself.

Tonight on inside the actors studio lol the ppl asking questions

[@NephilimFree]

Van Gogh did not cut off his ear. It was sheared off by a piece of sheet metal in a fight with Paul Goguin in Goguin's apartment.

[@shaneharrington3655]

If you put them in a cage Willem Dafoe would take out Jeff Goldblum in round 1.

[@LegendaryManSlayer93]

Willem da GOAT lol
