During her In Holy Flux tour in New Zealand, Letterboxd caught up with singer-songwriter Weyes Blood to chat about her four favorite films. #weyesblood #fourfavorites #indiemusic #letterboxd
Wow, for a Russian that I am it was a surprise to learn about Natalie's favourite movie of all time, I thought that she would pick up some cool intellectual movie but I expected something like David Lynch's work. Number 1 came as a huge surprise
She posted that "bring DVDs to the show" post AFTER the Asheville one 😤😤 bro you know I woulda cooked up some "I bet you would enjoy this" type filmé to the show had I known ughhhhhhhhh
Dekalog is a television show, though; I don't think it was meant to be watching in one sitting. Something like Lav Diaz's Evolution of a Filipino Family might be more fitting (or Ashraf Shishir's The Innocence, if you want to go long; while the film is in acts, I think it's meant to be watched continuously).
I really want to see Possession but it’s so difficult to find it plus one place I found it it’s was too expensive sadly so but maybe I would get lucky at some point …!
Possession AND Hardcore!? Goddamn just when I thought I couldn’t be more in love with her. I took a first date to Trouble Every Day and it didn’t end well, I feel like Natalie would’ve been up for it
Cool interview, but why god _why_ feeling the need to shorcut her answers by chopping up any pauses in her talk. Why not just leave it flow like a natural conversation, taking time is ok.
There's a few types of "four favorites" on Letterboxd. 1. The completely honest obvious picks that everyone has seen. 2. Trying to be impressive by only picking really obscure movies. 3. A mix of 1 and 2.
Is this lady speaking about the original film "Possession" from 1981? Remember watching this and thinking it was just art house garbage but a lot of people really like it. I'm not going to watch Siberia.
No wonder she made song about movies because she really into it
This is truth
She loves movies.
She actually knows about the art of film. Thats amazing. Great list and remarks.
I went and followed her on Letterboxd and now she has The Swimmer and Funeral Parade of Roses in her 4! The TASTE, fucking iconic
She puts on a helluva show in concert. Can't recommend seeing her enough! Glad she has some great film takes as well.
Saw her in Melbourne and I almost regret not buying tickets for both nights, it was a great show
I'm going to see her at Red Rocks and in Boulder!
one of them people that if i ever met in person i would fall in love with 100% no doubt

Another badass moment from Natalie.
Her taste in movies really reflected her art & aesthetic in music. Such a great artist.
oh, i love her tastes. "possession" is a film that i have never recovered from and it still scares the fuck out of me.
What an exceptional interview. What a great selection of films, and a magnificent dissection of them.
There was no interview!
I was looking for a nice, light, easy-going film to watch, so I think I'll give Siberiade a go. 👍
Jesus god almighty she is absolutely gorgeous
I love this cuz I fell in love with her music when I discovered her song, “Movies” 🤩
Seeing her perform her song Movies is unreal. She’s a great performer and has some awesome clips/visuals for the song. Loved it!
I love this girl so much, I just find her very mystical, she's amazing.
S tier list - great and intimate knowledge to back each pick
best one ive seen so far
I could listen to her talk for hours about movies
Quality choices, and given her taste, very fitting.
Good Lord she is gorgeous
Haven't heard of Siberiade actually, so now on my watchlist thanks! Very dope arthouse selection.
Fun fact: the guy who directed Siberiade also directed Tango & Cash.
Y’all knew what you were doing with putting Possession in the thumbnail
Thank you, Maddam Weyes! I'm absolutely checking these films out. Love your music of course!
Now she is even more awesome
i love her
You can tell that she really love the art of cinema❤

yeah she has a very eclectic taste, but it doesn't come off as pretentious. very sincere
Impeccable taste
Great taste. Loved Titanic Rising. Fantastic artist.

Great video bro, This is a very good top 4.
Really cool. Love your music. Ill check out the films too.
my queen
We can like movies from the Soviet Union lmao love u weyesssss
Siberiade caught me way off guard, not an obvious pick even for soviet cinima. I should probably rewatch and actually finish it lol
I'll check these out thanx
She loves movies, indeed
Hardcore is so overlooked. One of Schrader's best.
Big flex
content i needed
Taking Off - Miloš Forman
Possession - Andrzej Żuławski
Hardcore - Paul Schrader
Siberiade Andrei Konchalovsky,
"It says so much in that 6 hours" girl, I hope it does because 6 hours is really a lot of time to say anything.
WEHESBLODD I KOVE UOU FORVER
One of the smartest persons I ever experienced.
I just found this woman and she's my religion now
I've watched a few of these and she has a more interesting selection than most of the actors and directors featured in this series
MY FUCKING GOD I LOVE HER! TASTE!!!
Nothing controversial about loving Soviet cinema. That so many great films were made under such a repressive regime, is a testament to the people.
she loves movies
She posted that "bring DVDs to the show" post AFTER the Asheville one 😤😤 bro you know I woulda cooked up some "I bet you would enjoy this" type filmé to the show had I known ughhhhhhhhh
When Musicians have better taste than Actors
How am I barely seeing this
She has fire film taste
Only 6 hours long? Those are rookie numbers! Watch Dekalog, a breezy 10 hours!
Dekalog is a television show, though; I don't think it was meant to be watching in one sitting. Something like Lav Diaz's Evolution of a Filipino Family might be more fitting (or Ashraf Shishir's The Innocence, if you want to go long; while the film is in acts, I think it's meant to be watched continuously).
Apparently it's controversial to like anything Russian? Lol ok.

I really want to see Possession but it’s so difficult to find it plus one place I found it it’s was too expensive sadly so but maybe I would get lucky at some point …!
i love you!
possession is a great choice remarkable weird movie.
😍😍
Te pinches amo, Natalie.
In Japan she knows Wim Wenders - Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin), but you know, she felt really bad at that time...
be still my beating heart
amazing picks
guys i think she loves movies
Ada ada saja
She needs to watch The Swimmer.......like right now.
Is there any election in the US this year? She would be a smart president.
Santa Madre
Why is it controversial to say she enjoys a Soviet film?
TRY " A HIDDEN LIFE " BY TERENCE MALICK
We have the same taste in movies. I wonder if we could go out. 😢
Six hour Siberian film with oil drilling. Riiiight.
Possession AND Hardcore!? Goddamn just when I thought I couldn’t be more in love with her. I took a first date to Trouble Every Day and it didn’t end well, I feel like Natalie would’ve been up for it
LOML
Her profile is empty
Weyes Blood and Father John Misty.
Enough said.
Why is it controversial for her to love Siberia?
