This is my all time favorite interview with any filmmaker that I have ever seen. I come back to watch it in full once every few months. Particularly his final remark about the beauty of how art ages over time really moves me.
Absolutely. The way he talks so articulately about opera, literature and painters (and of course film) makes him such an interesting person to hear speak. I recommend his recent interview on The Ringer's movie podcast. Do you have any interviews with Gray that you can suggest to me?
what best? look at his movies and see how they performance at box office....almost all of them are box office failure even that is a good movie....i cant say he is best with such failures
@@Airha87 look at the phrase before best? "One of the". And even if the original said is the best who are you to then judge them. For you its all about money and ticket sales not the actual art.
Incredible interview and insight from James Gray. You can tell he enjoyed the questions and was very generous in return. One of the Greatest film talker in addition of being a master.
no he didnt...his movies got high percentage of being a failure in box office....i am not a movie maker or related to movie but seeing how his movies through box office database...it is painful ( the movie is good but got no return money )
@@TraceurDom tell that word to film producers bro.....it is easy to say i am as an idiot....but i think producers will pick my word rather than you....have a nice day...smart guy
James Gray is always a great storyteller in settings like these. I'm actually a bigger fan of his oratorical skills - his knowledge of film and his humour and his anectotes - than I am of his movies. Agree so much about Gwyneth Paltrow wasting her talents on Goop and superhero movies. She's so astonishing in Seven, Shakespeare in Love, The Talented Mr Ripley, Great Expections, A Perfect Murder and Sylvia.
im on the same boat as you haha i even think its funny because his movies are good i mean i dont know if any of them is like great - i really love two lovers but outside of that idk. but just the way he talks hes probably like the most interesting filmmaker in this aspect. Also Gwyneth Paltrow was pretty great in Royal Tenenbaums too
35 is not better than digital and the two greatest living cinematographers (Roger Deakins and Emmanuel Lubezki) agree. Digital is not only cheaper but it looks better.
Where has Deakins said that digital is better than film? He says it's more convenient, but in terms of picture quality, I have never seen him claim that digital is better. Do you have an interview you could link me too?

mine too - james is great
Listening to James Gray talking about movies is always a blast, he is a natural comdien.
Say what you want about his films, but Gray is head and shoulders the best interviewee in the game

Thomas Pearmain he did a tiff talk about the yards that’s on TH-cam and is interesting and funny
James Gray is amazing, one of the best filmmakers working today. The Lost City of Z was the best movie of 2017.

@@Airha87 Just cus it didnt perform well at the box office doesnt make it a great movie.
@@TraceurDom look again at word..."best"...i complain it about best world....have a nice day
@@Airha87 look at the phrase before best? "One of the". And even if the original said is the best who are you to then judge them. For you its all about money and ticket sales not the actual art.
The best convo about being a filmmaker I have ever seen. Thank you.
I saw Lost City of Z on the big screen. It was fantastic!
If this filmmaking thing doesn't work out for Gray, he could make a living doing impressions; He's HILARIOUS in that regard.
1:09:20 is one of the most insightful and beautiful things I've ever heard.

@@Airha87 youre an idiot

@@Airha87 not everything is about money especially when it comes to art
@@Airha87 also im calling you an idiot here as your comment is just randomly negative. It has no relation to what the original comment is
Little odessa is pretty underrated
