Paul Verhoeven | HBO Directors Dialogue | NYFF54

Paul Verhoeven joined NYFF Selection Committee member Dennis Lim to talk about his new film 'Elle' and his remarkable career for an HBO Directors Dialogue at the 54th New York Film Festival. The Film Society will revisit the work of Paul Verhoeven in Total Verhoeven, a complete retrospective of the filmmaker’s work on November 9-23.
At first blush, it’s hard to believe the same director responsible for the ultraviolent action masterpiece RoboCop and the blockbuster thriller Basic Instinct is also responsible for Elle, the new film starring the great Isabelle Huppert as a video-game designer who has a surprising and complex response after she is raped by a home invader. But all of his provocative films are of a piece: wry, satirical, and knowing takes on culture, movies, and personal fantasy.

Magnificent Director !!!

[@vladimirhorowitz]

Paul Verhoeven is just so fuckin' cool. He doesn't give a shit at all and his movies come out amazing because of it.

[@DocMAX]

Totally agree

[@frenchcoupon3391]

Genius Director! Quasi no competition today. Definitely number 1 in bold, visceral mainstream films.

[@DavidMillsSeven]

It's from a cultural point of view quite interesting that all approached American A-class actresses refused the leading role part.

[@free_spirit1]

I wonder who they were...

[@tannerjameson5187]

Please make a comeback.

[@theempire00]

wcm5150 Hollywood is too boring/safe for his vision, I feel.

[@ShadowindLUKE]

if he can play it by his rules then yes

[@guileniam]

He never went

[@plasticweapon]

he never went away, he's just making (european) films you apparently don't know about. and if you like him so much, how come you don't know about them?

[@retroworld8090]

I wish ❤

[@jag0937eb]

You can't fix stupid and tasteless
