- Last month, award-winning director Asif Kapadia paid a visit to the Criterion closet. Working in both documentary and narrative cinema, the British filmmaker is best known for his movies THE WARRIOR, SENNA, and this year’s heartbreaking, Academy Award-nominated Amy Winehouse documentary AMY. Here, watch Kapadia pluck a wide range of selections, from SIMON OF THE DESERT to YI YI.

I always like when people come in the room and pick stuff they've never seen. Some cinephiles try to act like they've seen evvvvery film and know every bit of information about every film. But that's impossible, sometimes we just don't get around to seeing certain great movies because there's so damn many of them!
Capgungoesbang amen brother

Tell me about it. First semester, Film Studies: As soon as you confess you haven't seen a seemingly "important" movie yet your fellow freshmen scream at you "WHAT? How do you not know that??". I get that from every single one of my friends, cinephile or not. But fortunately I learned to appreciate people telling me about their favorite films from their point of view. As you said, there's always something new to find out and it's impossible to know everything about every film ever made.
That’s honestly my biggest grab from the Criterion Collection, checking out & trying movies I haven’t seen & otherwise wouldn’t get around
I love films & have never even seen a quarter of the films on Criterion’s catalog
Yeah some we like some we don't some Underrated gems still searching

+criterioncollection He's also holding In Cold Blood underneath his Code Unknown pick and A Woman Under The Influence under his Three Outlaw pick. Maybe he nabbed them too?
+Paul Beauparlant Who wouldn't nab those two? Haha
+criterioncollection This is a great list. Possibly my favorite so far.
he took like $500 worth of stuff for free.
+criterioncollection Also there is In Cold Blood with RICHARD bROOKS HE HOLDS WHILE TALKING ABOUT coDE uNKNOWN
INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN ABOVE SUSPICION is such a great movie! Finally someone picked it
This would be a dream come true... I could talk about my picks for a long time :D
he had the right idea filling the bag all the way!
Watchlisted all of his movies since he’s the only person I’ve seen in one of these pick the vanishing
FINALLY! Someone as greedy as we would be in that closet!
+Theomite hahahahaha was about to post the same thing!
+Theomite The Wolfpack guys are still the greediest! They practically cleaned out that closet! LOL.
klausweasley
Well C'MON, there were like, 7 of 'em!
Criterion was lucky he didn't bring a suitcase
@@klausweasley true
I like Kapadia's approach: take a punt on something you've never heard of.
Senna is a tremendous film. You guys should pick that up. Also worth pointing out that he was one of the very few non-white nominees for a big Oscar.
I love watching these! I wish you would put up unedited versions. I could hang out with filmmakers in the closet all day.
Jesus, British ppl love Don't Look Now. If you're ever trying to sleep with a British guy who wears a scarf just bring up Don't Look Now.
"The Vanishing is one of the darkest most shocking movies".... and he hasn't seen Salo. You're in for a treat my friend lol
+Chris Kostaras That's the thing. You expect Salo to be shocking. At least I did after my friends recommended it (the bastards lol). But The Vanishing creeps on you in a very dark, unexpected way.
Oh man, he grabbed a bunch. but I can't say I would be any better. It must be hard to resist with all those films. Glad he grabbed some Ozu.
+thetramp123 I know right!! I would have a field day in there
Starts off with Simon of the Desert, then Blind Chance. Niice, 2 of my favs.
Just watched Simon of the Desert because of this
He doesn't seem to know that much about Salò and it looks like it's somewhat of a blind pick, but I have a feeling that he will be pleasantly surprised.
+Peter Loew . and nor does he know about Elio Petri.
Fun for the whole family!

Finally someone who talked about code unknown
How can everyone keep passing up those Jacques Tati boxsets? So enticing
great picks. good taste.
omg, if i was in that room. i'd would jizz in my pants.
2:52 definitely!
I LOVE the fact that there is someone in that closet who admits that he hasn't seen so many of the films in that collection. As an aspiring filmmaker I tend to surround myself with fellow filmmakers and I constantly hear things like "you haven't seen this?! And you call yourself a filmmaker?!" Just because you haven't seen every fucking film on the earth doesn't make you a bad filmmaker. TESTIFY ASIF!!
Whatever makes u feel better bro
Dang son, he just ran off with like $500+ in merch.
I better love the hell out of AMY, haha.
He'd never heard of the Elio Petri film that won the oscar in 1970 and made Gian Maria Volonté an international star? It's great to be young.
Code unknown is honestly one of the best films I've seen. Sometimes it's my favorite criterion.
What was up with that little frog on the shelf?
Some good picks
This is the most anyone has ever took.
+Tommy Wiseau No, watch the wolf pack one, they took so many more, lol
No he didn't! He did not! Oh hi Tommy.
I think the Safdie brothers beat his record, lol
Hey! It's the Guy Maddin approach =D
Yep, you can never have enough samurai movies.
I think if I had the chance to get to this room, I would be like Alex Baldwin: just take a little. All these films are materialism, these directors should be able to afford buying these films themselves. Or I would take these films and give it to less fortunate people and get them introduced into the wonders of film. The rich do need to get richer. Help others.
I would too only take like a couple because there are only a couple of Criterion films I want.
So many people pick Salo, haha.
+sonicfan1234ish sick bastards
These videos have made me think I should actually check it out. I think I was in my teens when I heard of it the first time (~15 years ago), but I've never seen it. At the time it was passed around as "it's fucking weird shit lol". Maybe now, as my interest, knowledge and taste in movies has grown over the years, I should watch it.
I don't think Salo is as shocking as the reputation makes it out to be. I watched it whilst eating my dinner. The infamous scenes are so obviously fake. There is a lot of male nudity, though. I think some people are put off by so much frank and beans just hanging out.
I personally love that "I can't eat rice with my fingers like this" line followed by "eat shit" so I'd pick it.
Sing to us,O Muse, of their picks, in Roman script
it is so cool and at the same time frustrating to watch these videos !!!
man he is cool
Half of those films he picked are my favourites. lol
Dang he went ham in that closet. As If!!!
LOL that random frog just chilling
PLease bring alberto fuguet
You should get YMS in there.
I don't blame him for taking pretty much the whole closet. I'd do the same.
We're studying AMY for school so I call this homework
"Ok, bit of Ozu." Which one???
What is the box set on the shelve with the naked lady when he is looking at Do the Right Thing? Rohmer?
+Luther Blissett Yeah
So many pick Kes.
please add BLU-RAY to the title not DVDs only -.-
Why this in my recommendations. Who else thought Harry Potter is his #1 pick from the thumbnail?
He mentioned his friend Amit..is he talking about the filmmaker Amit Dutta?
He basically robed criterion
Let's not be too greedy Asif. haha!
waooo
"...investigation of a citizen above suspi-I dunno! I like the- interesting! No idea what it is! Never heard of it."
same
Probably the most greedy visitor to the criterion closet.
A lot of empty spaces on the shelves when this was filmed.
Dang it I thought Ben Schwartz was in the closet
greedy
Can hipsters these days relate to KIDS?
How do I get a chance to go to this room?
Excel at film school I guess.
