I had the same experience while reading Stieg Larsson's novels, which take place in Sweden. Apparently anyone can talk out of turn and hash things out with whoever whenever. I felt like I was watching a court scene in an Adam Sandler movie.
I can’t believe she picked All That Jazz!! I haven’t seen anyone pick it before, and I don’t hear it talked about all that much. I love her even more now ❤
This is one of the few movies that demonstrates that art, literally can kill you. From the theater director to the producers and attorneys, all the damn line! (including an actress that became Valeria in Conan!). Great movie in any sense.
"Touched on something too sensitive to touch" Bergman really is like that. There is this honesty few articulate well. He wasn't afraid to be completely vulnerable. Stalker is my favorite movie. Her choices were superb. Gal ought to be directing like Molly Ringwald should. Their choices just really scream theyd be good at it.
I'll be darned. Winter Light is my favorite Bergman movie, too, and he's also my fave director. Wonderful to see the appreciation. The way she describes her response to All That Jazz was pretty much exactly how I responded when I first saw Blood Simple.
I got to see All That Jazz in 1979 when I was about 15. It absolutely blew me away. I was only familiar with Bob Fosse from Cabaret when it aired on network TV. I knew nothing about him or how autobiographical the film was, or how prophetic it would be when he suffered a massive heart attack while in rehearsal for a revival of Sweet Charity, dying on a park bench with his ex-wife Gwen Verdon. I remember walking home after the show in a state of shock, trying to absorb everything that I had just seen. Even though Joe Gideon is a complete bastard it's hard not to find a little sympathy for him, especially when he's played by Roy Scheider. The final sequence is magnificent, and has that brutal hard cut to final.shot before it fades to credits. It took me a long time to find an appreciation for Bergman. The "ah-ha" moment came when I realized that everyone was crazy to some degree and the films became less intimidating. My favourite is Hour of the Wolf. It's the closest he came to making a horror movie and has some very unnerving moments.
@@roostertai111we’ve never seen her go that far out. Not even derogatory, she’s been one of my favorites for years, but she’s not working with Claire Denis or Yorgos Lanthimos or whatever modern director you’re going to put on that tier. Her most out-there work is her ties to mumblecore with Swanberg and the Duplass brothers, which is definitely a different direction from Stalker.
I haven't seen all of Anna Kendrick's movies, not by a long shot, but of all the ones I've seen, my favorite is *_The Accountant_* I love how the relationship between her character Dana and The Accountant (whose name is _not_ Christian; we never learn his name) develops - the awkward lunch, but then they connect over the math, and their conversation on the couch after he saves her from the hitmen is great. And when she leans in for a kiss and he's completely oblivious (and he had _just_ explained how he sucks at reading nonverbal cues!), it hit me hard because I've been that guy too many times... And I love how, when The Accountant saves her from the hitmen, she _isn't_ a Damsel, she's a Pint-Sized Powerhouse: the mooks joke about how they should have brought a smaller box, right before she clocks one of them with a cast-iron stove grill, and then after she retreats to the bathroom, bashes the other one with the toilet-tank cover. She's clearly outmatched, and The Accountant does have to save her right as she's about to lose - but she held her own far better and longer than one would expect, given the difference in size, number and skill sets. I've had so many ideas for a sequel/continuation of that story, but I'm afraid it's been so long it's not going to happen.
Everyone swears now, it's hardly unique to her, my father never used to like women swearing so everytime women do casually swear I think about how aghast he'd be.
Surprising and impressive picks over all! And that she really express her admiration for the greatest director of cinema, Bergman, is the ultimate proof.
replace the a with i HUEHEUEHUEHEUEHUEUEHEUEHUEHEHEHEHUEUEHEUEHEUHEUEHUEHEUEHUEHEUEHEUUEHEUEUEHEHEUEHUEUEUEUEHEUEUHEUEUEHEUEUEUEHURHRHEUEUEUUEHEHRUEUEHEHEHEHUEUEUBhahahaha
I always found her so infectious and delightful. Of course, this closet video makes me adore her even more. Her love for Bergman is now in my mind rent free.
I saw All That Jazz, when it came out, a Roy Scheider classic. I've been meaning to watch Klute, for about 30 years, I really need to do that. Anna Kendrick, is so good! I just watched Mr. Right, she and Sam Rockwell, are amazing together!
Of all the Closet Picks, I had no idea the one I would have the most in common with would be Anna Kendrick! 😍 All That Jazz - I first saw this one back in 1997 at the age of 15. But It doesn't matter how recently one has been made aware of this classic. It only matters that you have basked in its tragic beauty. Stalker - I really can't add anything to what she had to say about this Russian sci-fi masterpiece. One of my favorite non-English language films of all-time! The Ingmar Bergman Collection - I've only recently been getting into the filmography of Bergman, having sampled the likes of The Seventh Seal, Cries and Whispers, Fanny and Alexander, Through a Glass Darkly and The Virgin Spring (probably my favorite of the lot). Despite being only a Bergman novice, I absolutely adore this pick.
I just saw her directorial debut, _Woman of the Hour_ yesterday. God DAMN that woman knows how to craft a nail-biting suspense thriller. That movie has got to be one of the most tense PG-rated movies I've ever seen. I don't know if she was drawing from Hitchcock when she made that film, but it sure feels like it. There are moments where she shows the way the industry Either way, it was a great film and I can't recommend it enough. And as someone who has had more than his share of problems with the industry of showbiz.... there were many uncomfortable moments that realy spoke to me. This is a seriously gifted woman, and I can't wait to see what she does next.
I don't know the experimental soundtrack of The Passion of Joan of Arc that she mentions, but I can hugely recommend Richard Einhorn's accompanying music for that film. Called "Voices of Light." Absolutely brilliant. I've seen it three times in person with the film, live orchestra and choir. It blows me away every time.
Had I been there with her, I definitely would have recommended MYSTERY TRAIN from Jim Jarmusch! Minor detail, to be sure, but that film contains the coolest and most accurate depiction of a bottle being shattered by a bullet exiting a human body. Fans of the film will know what scene I'm referring to.❤
This made me like Anna even more. She has incredible taste! You all should do a giveaway for one of us non-movie stars to come out and talk about films and pick out some favorites. Probably wouldn't drive up views but it would be a dream to stand in that closet and browse some of the best films that Criterion has put out.
I was at that Passion of Joan of Arc screening! That movie is like finding a recording of someone sounding like Stevie Wonder on the harpsichord in 1850. Like you have to check the release date five times to believe it.
Excellent choices! I find it funny that most people either chose the Bergman box set or the Fellini set. The game is to guess before "Is this a Fellini or Bergman person?" And I would have pegged Anna as Fellini. So thank you for the pleasant surprise.
I’ve loved her for years and had no idea she’s such a cinephile! really cool to know ❤ also her and bill hader were probably such an interesting couple I’d like to have seen some of their conversations about art
RE: the French legal system, Anna (and everyone) should watch a few seasons of Engrenages ("Spiral", in the US) -- like a combo of Homicide, Life in the Streets and [pick your favorite courtroom drama] & I still know nothing about the French legal system but I *think* I know more than I do.
So good. Maybe the best closet visit and so surprisingly high-art throughout. Seems like she should be in a lot more edgy avant-garde films with taste like this.
I can't remember the last time someone went on a media blitz this hard. Anna has popped up EVERYWHERE this last few days. I mean, I think I've seen 7-8 videos, and I think there are even more...
I think if I had a conversation with Anna that I would spend most of the time just listening. You kinda never know where she is going to go, which is ace.
I did not expect those picks from Anna. I knew I liked her after Mr. Right, but choosing Stalker from The Closet... funny and introspective. Let's watch and discuss some movies together.
I'm only recently getting into Bergman. Persona is a movie that I can't explain, but I'm fascinated by it nometheless, and The Seventh Seal immediately became one of my all-time favorite movies (and the 4K was in my first purchase from the Criterion Channel store).
Not that one influenced the other, but I find it interesting that she dated Edgar Wright..they both talk about films in a similar way and they're obviously both cinephiles..
My favorite silent film. My favorite Bergman film (winter light). My favorite Tarkovsky film. My favorite musical. You're perfect Anna, where have you been all my life?
All that Jazz is definitely one of the most interesting films ever made in the musical genre. That was a pretty good choice. I say the same about Klute and Stalker. Good choices. I haven't had the chance to see the other two yet
