In 2014, director Jeremy Saulnier's 'Blue Ruin' was lauded at festivals worldwide cementing his name within the independent movie scene as a breakout talent. His follow-up feature 'Green Room', opening in theaters April 15, is a viscerally intense siege thriller that pits a punk band against a violent gang of neo-nazis.
We sat down with Saulnier to discuss the film, making childhood backyard action movies, singing in hardcore bands and working with Patrick Stewart who plays Green Room's nazi/drug lord kingpin.

HOLY SHIT, I took my girlfriend to see this movie last night. Did NOT see any trailers, had not read any reviews, we "gave it a try", we left the theater overwhelmed with anxiety, we loved this movie, it was fucking intense!!!!

Doesnt work that way. I was involved in a riot of punks/hardcore kids against nazis in Pottstown PA in the early 90's. Cops let the nazis go and arrested punks. And the Nazis completely started it. Used to happen all the time in places like Allentown, Bethlehem, Pottstown, all over PA.

Murder Party, Blue Ruin, and Green Room have made Jeremy my favourite filmmaker. Can't wait to see what's next.

His section on not knowing who would die ahead of time and that the only reason anyone did was when it was logical is beautiful.

I just watched this on Netflix. I feel uneasy just watching this interview while remembering the movie. Easily one of the best films I’ve seen in my life. Amazing work.

@mhaze210 8 лет назад

I KNEW it...I had a chance to go to a Q&A with the director a month ago...knew nothing about Green Room, didn't feel like driving an hour away. Finally saw the movie last night, it was so good I didn't even care that I skipped the Q&A the film speaks for itself in "volumes" The trailer DOES NOT do it justice.

@drownthepoor 6 месяцев назад

One of the best lines in the film is when the kid Tad, who set them up with the first gig, is telling them about the Green Room venue. He says it's "right wing, or, technically ultra-left, but not affiliated." It's a slick little acknowledgement of the nuances of political sub-genres.

@maxdembo5242 5 лет назад

Such a great filmmaker. I particularly love Green Room and Blue Ruin. Macon is now one of my favorite actors and want to see a lot more from him.

Like an M Night Shyamalan except he never had a hit movie. Once in awhile the fucking powers-that-be throw a dog a bone and that's what the world has given this guy a bone. It's like a fluke of nature. Shity fucking things get passed through the cracks and people don't object to it and it give it a thumbs up even though it's as stupid as hell. We live in a world where people are fascinated by politics even though the actual politics and political machine is broken and horrid. People are fascinated with sitting on their asses and watching movies all fucking day long even if they have money they're just tied to a TV or device and actually do nothing at all to progress their lives like they're almost zombies themselves

@titanfighter12 8 лет назад

+CalyGamer13 you obviously don't know filmmaking. The film "look" itself is VERY hard to achieve in and of itself. If this movie attracted Patrick Stewart it has something going for it.

@CalyGamer13 8 лет назад

+titanfighter12 Patrick Stewart's a respectable actor no matter what role he does, doesn't change the fact the trailer looks like it mixed with The Final and The Hills Have Eyes (the army one), there's actually a horror movie I remember that's closer to what the trailer looks like but I forgot the name. The trailer is like the Final except the Neo-Nazis replaced the nerds and the Punks replaced the popular kids...and they have the means to kind of fight back, which i suppose isn't unique to Hills. Fighting makes it more of a thriller than a horror in my opinion. My initial comment seems a little harsh in hindsight but I was marathoning fight scenes, the last ones I was watching were big Italian guy vs the Baldies in The Wanderers, Asians vs Skins in Romper Stomper, The Warriors vs Punks in...well duh The Warriors and Punks vs Skins in Punk, some French film. This video was in my Suggested, so I was expecting some Punk-Nazi brawler/coming to age film.

Their politics don't actually have anything to do with them being the villains though. They simply have to kill these kids to clean up the crime that happened. The neo nazi stuff is really just in the background. He also talks about that in this very interview.
