Check out our full film review and discussion on Beau Is Afraid: • BEAU IS AFRAID: Punche...
The Museum of Moving Image held a special screening of Beau Is Afraid and welcomed back Ari Aster to not only intro the film but to also sit down with the audience and participate with a Q&A after. I was lucky enough to be in attendance and now present to you this special evening!
Ari Aster Q&A session hosted by Michael Koresky.
Aster follows up his brilliant and immensely popular horror duet of Hereditary and Midsommar with perhaps his most fully realized vision yet: a gonzo dark comedy that gets uncomfortably close to a man who’s falling into a million pieces as he desperately tries to get back home. A wild, tongue-in-cheek odyssey about a modern-day Job named Beau (a remarkable Joaquin Phoenix), beset by terrors real and imagined, who escapes a cartoonish, satirically degenerate cityscape only to wind his way through a series of false paradises, Beau Is Afraid evokes the pitch-black, how-bad-can-it-get humor of After Hours and A Serious Man, but with its own, singular gonzo aesthetic and a pitiless self-reflexivity that pushes it into daring territory. The marvelous supporting cast includes Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Patti LuPone, Denis Ménochet, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and a jaw-dropping Parker Posey.

I really hope that this film will get a rerelease in theaters in a few more years, once more people catch up to it or come around to what Ari was doing here. So much of that final sensation of devastation and spectacular awe in the last shot is about reflecting the audience in their seats, kind of daring each individual audience member to get up out of their seat and leave the room.

@LowkeyGeek 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, this movie has a lot going on and is brilliant in the story telling and performances. More people need to give this movie a chance.

@canelillard Год назад

Of all the interviewers, Ari seems most at ease with Michael. Such a great and patient interviewer ❤

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

Totally agree! It was the 2nd time he interviewed him for this movie and you can see they have good rapport with each other.

@miguelfmyers Год назад

Second time watching the thing I noticed was a mother and kid and the mother pulling the child, and in the forefront a speedboat in water gets turned upside and starts tweaking. Foreshadowing the ending, what a magnificent film.

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

YES! Also you can get an early sense of the Mother/Son dynamic and the whole mall scene foreshadowed as well.

@brbaic9364 Год назад

Also there's an image of the arena at the end on the TV Beau is watching when he's told to turn it to a certain channel.

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

OH wow! I missed that! Something to keep an eye out on for a next viewing! LOL

@whoyougot2998 Год назад

The audience questions would have been nice but thank you for the upload , love hearing what he has to say

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

No, thank YOU for watching! Appreciate the love and i'll keep the audience portions in mind for the future. :)

@theanarchistcook 11 месяцев назад

It's such a relief to hear praise for A.I.! Such an underappreciated movie.

@LowkeyGeek 11 месяцев назад

Right?!?! I do feel like A.I. is underappreciated because it's one of Spielberg's most misunderstood movies.

@Garbageman28 Год назад

Thanks for uploading this! Most chill I've ever seen Ari.

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

Thank YOU for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it and you can really see that he's at ease with this format and the people present. It was amazing seeing him discuss this film!

@paulcasino9511 Год назад

You a real g for this.

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

@kaylamanor 28 дней назад

Film makers of his caliber aren’t operating within the bounds linear storytelling. The film is about how it makes you feel. It’s exaggerated to evoke feelings. It’s an experience. The story is how you react to it.

@daniellawrencewilson Год назад

The ending of this is amazing lol

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

LOL...yeah, figured it was the perfect time to cut things off. Thanks for watching!

@atlntcostv7293 Год назад

I gotta go rewatch it

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

It definitely is worth a 2nd watch! If you do, i'm curious what things you noticed this time around!

@michaelambrosinofilm 11 месяцев назад

Re: 14:50 ... I just rewatched the scene and deliberately searched for that guy (heavy dude with a mustache). I don't know what his presence or the fact that he's staring at Beau in each of those shots could mean, but I can tell you that it just made the entire sequence absolutely terrifying.

@LowkeyGeek 11 месяцев назад

I did the same thing after hearing Ari talk about it. It's really funny and I just love how he will do something like this mainly to just have fun with the audience. I know when I do some videos, I like putting things in the background just because it makes me laugh. LOL

@jimmerhardy 5 месяцев назад

Plot summary: After Beau dies from the truck accident he enters purgatory and awaits his final judgement. 'It's stupid' but requires a second watch even if you're pissed at the end.

@user-dh7ft1bz1w 6 месяцев назад

One of my favorite filmmakers is Paul Thomas Anderson and what I love specifically about his work is that none of his characters change. For some that can be a bad thing but to me, that’s closer to life. With Ari Aster, his films read the same with a McCarthy type philosophy that our fates were determined long before we were here. You get these complex characters as openly broken and objective to their suffering as it gets while also destroying them in the end. Each of his 3 films end with the real protagonist coming to terms in one way or another with the reality of their life. His films really speak to me.

@LowkeyGeek 6 месяцев назад

That's a really great way to explain his films and I personally think that's why I resonate really well with Ari's films.

@josebenito15 5 месяцев назад

Ari is still one of the Cinema Directors able to surprise you.. Greatly surprise you. I 'm following his filmography since I saw "Hereditary" and this morning I saw " Beau is afraid" which I believe it's a Masterpiece. Don't be afraid if you don't understand the film, if you love Cinema, the film will grow on you. Period

@LowkeyGeek 5 месяцев назад

I've seen it now three times and it's a brilliant work of art.

Audience questions are the best part! Why would you not record that? 🤦‍♂️

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

LOL...who would've thought that this would be the thing most people would bring up to me with this video and not the conversation itself! I've definitely heard it for both sides but i'll keep that in mind for the future! :)

@Ms.Behaving 11 месяцев назад

In the end he stopped asking for someone too help him like his mother said he did his entire life and accepted his fate

@LowkeyGeek 11 месяцев назад

Yes, it was sad but you can see that he realized there was no escaping his fate and the life that he had that he just imploded inside.

@Ms.Behaving 11 месяцев назад

@@LowkeyGeek I think this might be my favorite movie. I didn't have high hopes going in by looking at the titles of RU-vid reviews but I absolutely adored it

@LowkeyGeek 11 месяцев назад

@@Ms.Behaving I totally know what you mean. I'm a huge fan of Ari Aster so I was looking forward to this. I didn't realize that it would end up being one of my favorite movies of the year! I'm just glad to hear from another one who enjoyed it as much as I did!

@alexxx4434 7 месяцев назад

I think that's what frustrates casual viewers the most: Beau doesn't change throught the movie while your typical moviegoer expects Hero's Journey. Also said moviegoers are not familiar with Greek's tragedy.

@LowkeyGeek 7 месяцев назад

Totally agree...as a viewer, you get frustrated with Beau and I think that's what makes it cringy at times especially when you see what happens at the end. It's truly a great movie.

@JiiWoon 11 месяцев назад

When i saw Hereditary back then i said yup this ari aster guy is a genius 🏃🏽‍♂️

@LowkeyGeek 11 месяцев назад

That's exactly how I felt when I saw Midsommar for the first time which was my introduction to Ari's work. Hereditary sealed the whole deal for me!

That's a FANTASTIC horror movie...love the suspense and the constriction of just being locked up in one place without really knowing what's going on outside.

@theorangecollective.7663 Год назад

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

Aww...shucks!

@theorangecollective.7663 Год назад

@@LowkeyGeek okay okay I’ll subscribe, I really like this. If you’re in the LA area this is a good idea of going to filmmaker/actor Q&As recording and posting. Not sure if that’s what you’re doing but this format is really good!

@LowkeyGeek Год назад

Hahaha...Seriously, I really appreciate it and appreciate you liking the video! Unfortunately, i'm not in LA but I am in NY and I do have opportunities here for these events, especially when it's time for NYFF. So stay tuned and I'll def keep in mind about the audience portions for future vids! :)

@sophiar6996 11 месяцев назад

I can't believe I wasted three hours of my life watching this CRAP movie!!!! I liked most of the actors in it so I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for it to make some kind of sense - but it never did....... right up until the very end of the movie. HORRIBLE MOVIE! Words cannot describe how bad this movie was. Do yourself a favor and skip this trash.

@LowkeyGeek 11 месяцев назад

Well, that's definitely an opinion and i'm sorry to hear that the movie didn't work for you. However, I respectfully disagree and think this movie has a lot going on for itself that truly pays off at the end.

@sophiar6996 11 месяцев назад

@@LowkeyGeek well I’m glad you could understand the weirdness and enjoyed it. I’ll never watch another Joaquin Phoenix movie, he always picks the weird ones. This was the last straw for me.

@LowkeyGeek 11 месяцев назад

I totally understand. He does have quite the eclectic resume but if I could make two suggestions. A24's C'mon C'mon is a very grounded and emotional performance from Joaquin that could be worth a watch for you and then this year he's starring as Napoleon which is directed by Ridley Scott which could be something special.

@sophiar6996 11 месяцев назад

@@LowkeyGeek oh ok thanks! Because you’re so nice I’ll give them a shot. I would actually like to see Napoleon. I did enjoy him in that movie called The Village. He’s a great actor, the movies are just weird lol.

@LowkeyGeek 11 месяцев назад

Oh nice! If you do check them out and end up hating them, you have every right to come back here and yell at me for the recommendations! LOL BTW, the Village is a great movie and I think it's one of M. Night Shyamalan's most underrated films!
