      Totally agree! He's an independent film maker. Even with his Oscar nominations, he's still probably poor as dirt, putting everything he has into his projects. Until he gets a million dollar paycheck, he deserves everything he took. Thanks to Criterion for giving him this wonderful gift.

      You should watch Alfonso Cuaron's closet visit. It's just him and Pawel Pawlikowski not addressing the camera as they stock up and talk to each other. It's very funny.

      I think he meant that taking too many films from the closet was embarrassing cuz it may look very arrogant to take advantage on such an offer.

      I remember watching Martin Scorcese's "Journey Through Cinema" (I can't remember the name exactly) but he talked in detail about the films that left a deep impression and I was captivated. One of cinema's most ardent and passionate fans.

    • @joliecide

  • @thetramp123
    @thetramp123 8 ปีที่แล้ว +165

    Jenkins is the best. I like how he acknowledges that he's just taking a little TOO much but then just can't help himself. I would have grabbed those boxsets too. Apu, Tati, Demy, amazing stuff.

    • @slc2466

    Barry's reaction of being able to pick out those films (great picks btw!) is great, it's so awesome just seeing another person's enthusiasm for the films he's picking out. I can't help but think I'd be similar in picking out almost everything there!
