tbh sean baker is an established filmmaker now with thousands of interviews, whereas brady is an upcomer so I'm all for hearing him talk, especially if sean baker wants to hear more as well
Not really, The Brutalist is gonna take it. It's not even a question. People are gawking at how amazing The Brutalist is, Anora doesn't really offer something new and refreshing.
@@BluePrada Very likely, but I think how will the industry react to Brady's behavior. Reminds me of how Bradly Cooper tried to promote himself to win an Oscar last year and there were so much negative reactions around him. Sean Baker looks more modest. But I personally want C. Fargeat or R. Ross to win
@@seriousiblack9810 What the- What is Brady doing? What are you talking about? You just wanted to give a rebuttal so bad you just made some nonsense up.
Bradley cooper was thirsting for the Oscar, Corbett just strikes me as passionate and technical. As a filmmaker his goals certainly don’t seem awards centred. Vox lux is far from Oscar bait, and having seen the brutalist, the ending is certainly not catering to the academy in any way.
This is a great example of how interviewing is a skill (and not something everyone has) and why a good interviewer/moderator is worth their weight in gold. Corbet is a smart guy and he’s good at promoting his own movie, but his lack of curiosity about Baker or “Anora” and apparent inability to talk about anything other than himself makes this a very unbalanced conversation.

First Denis Villeneuve and Luca Guadagnino, and now Sean Baker and Brady Corbet. This is exactly what we need in terms of much needed long and intelligent discussions about directing cinema.
being an actor is straight up "shut the fuck up and say the words. again. again." "not a performer" is about him feeling limited in a movie when forced to just that position, as he aged into a wider pool of talent against which he felt little competitive advantage. his point about being introverted is that he learned the skills as a salesman to sell his projects, which is what he is doing here on behalf of a24. his chosen persona is a wells impersonation cuz he's trying to move kane weight here: like nolan he must have his thematic concerns painted as "the MOST important thing in the History of the world !!" honestly he kinda hogged the convo here and came off kinda foppish. certainly variety's edit did him no favors
@@howiespancakeshack Sure, but honestly, I prefer that to the faux modesty that's so in vogue these days. It's like what Hemingway was once depicted as saying: "If you're a writer, declare yourself the best writer!"
Yeh fair enough. I am all for the cinema being filled with fart sniffing movies shot on celluloid of all sizes. I dig it. It's what it's all about. Long live the farts ❤
Sean Baker and Brady Corbet both made not only the two best films of the year but also the best films for the ages. So glad these guys are gonna get their flowers. Iconic pairing! 🙌
I've loved Brady since Funny Games U.S. and his performance in Simon Killer is one of the most underrated of the 2010s, but his directorial work is UNREAL. The Childhood of a Leader HAS to be one of the greatest directorial debuts of the 21st century, for sure. I'm so happy to see that he's officially getting his flowers now ❤
Brady Corbet's point on allowing movies a three hour run time as long as the characters are wearing capes is 100% valid. That trash is getting a lengthy run time whereas a grown up drama with real characters is forced to be rushed.
There are more lengthy dramas than there are lengthy supe movies. It’s a nonsense complaint pivoting Superhero movies as the scapegoat for the real issue
Watched that from start to finish. Those two shed so much incredible insight. Never seen a Brady Corbet film but he seems like a force. Can't wait to watch Brutalist.
One of these men is about to win Best Director at next year's Oscars and they both damn well deserve it. Anora and The Brutalist are easily the best films of 2024, and it's not even close.
Awesome conversation, refreshing how authentic both these guys are, honestly FINALLY a real conversation! Stands apart from a lot of other videos with similar set up.
Corbet is an actor who started directing but the mindset is still actor's, maybe that's why he simply can't listening to others and gets impatient when has to be silent for a few seconds.
@petersz9475 yeah I definitely got the vibe he used to perform lol most directors are kinda shy and reserved and he definitely has the more outgoing extroverted personality of a stage performer
I've been watching interviews with these guys doing press for both their movies, and I've been slapping my leg and vigorously nodding with agreement on so many things they say about film and the industry and society in general!
Man, I could watch this for three and a half hours, just Anora and The Brutalist directors chatting it up. These are two modern masters as far as I'm concerned and its fascinating hearing them share their experiences about the guerrilla spirit needed to make a good movie nowadays (at least, that was my favorite takeaway). Love this.
thank you for posting this Corbet and Baker have been personally my favorite directors working for the past 5 years even with only a few features between them
and Melancholia!! You can tell that now, as a director and storyteller, he is influenced heavily by Lars Von Trier . Excited to see him carry that torch...
After just getting out of seeing The Brutalist in 70mm and having seen Anora a few months ago these two guys by far made the best films of 2024. It's rare these Variety talks simply has the two best filmmakers of the year.
Saddens me that we never got the score Scott Walker was born to make with The Brutalist but happy Brady corbet paid tribute to him nevertheless. And of course Sean Baker one of the 21st century goats.
I really enjoyed this conversation. As an aspiring filmmaker myself I love how the conversation went beyond the movies they are promoting, but talked through their creative process, how they see the industry and things that every aspiring filmmaker should know, great pairing!
Brady Corbet comes off as self-involved, waiting for his turn to talk, injecting his own experience over Baker’s words and anecdotes, and in love with the mythos of his own film. Talking over everything Baker says. Sean Baker by contrast, perhaps the lesser filmmaker, comes across as generous, kind, and in love with filmmaking itself. Always listening and championing. This whole conversation surprised me and changed my perspective. Makes me want to see Baker succeed and feel more apathetic toward the pursuits of Corbet. Very much an actor-turned-director vanity to him.
@@friendlypup5650The lesser filmmaker from a technical standpoint. Baker is a fantastic talent and a wonderful director. Just making the point that in spite of perhaps having more to prove (if anything), he remains far more secure and sincere in his view of the craft.
I wouldn’t be so hard on Brady. Sean’s been recognized as a filmmaker in the public eye for longer, he’s done more press discussing his work, he’s also 20 years older so it’s just a different way of being able to present & articulate yourself. Brady has a great vision and he said he’s very introverted and shy so when you have to discuss your vision that you’re excited about, I understand coming off this way.
@@AtomicAdams Just because a filmmaker isn't making certain technical choices for their film doesn't mean they don't know how to do them. Baker chooses a very specific style of filmmaking to allow more freedom for the actors, including first-time actors. I think he's a better filmmaker than Brady by a mile.
Two absolutely brilliant directors. If only we could give the both of them the trophy because both films (Anora, The Brutalist) are utterly brilliantly directed.
This felt like it was cut short. They are such good films I guess you could talk about them for hours. I would liked to have heard more from Baker on Anora but it was an entertaining conversation. Corbet is really full of himself though, isn't he?
this feels like that scene in Adaptation where Charlie Kaufman is getting advice from Robert Mckee but Brady Corbet seems to think he's Robert Mckee and Sean Baker is Charlie Kaufman
Brady made a fantastic film. Absolutely breathtaking in every facet of the filmmaking process. But he needs to listen a little more based off of how he converses with Sean here. Sean's already proven his value as a force in American filmmaking. He's earned his seat at the table. Brady hasn't gotten there yet, at least IMHO. I guess I would have preferred to have heard more from Sean.
I love that they just jumped into a key conversation right away. I guess both films did get criticised for it's run time and while I do feel that Anora is long (not based on runtime, but just while watching), I still think it should be the film makers right to tell the story they want the way they feel is best.
The dynamic of this convo was weird. Sean seems like a true listener whereas corbet seemed far more willing to answer questions than to ask them… that might be unfair but it did flag to me.
@ Yeah that’s my point, I want both people to be full of questions for the other person about their work. Corbet seems reluctant to give Sean the floor. I think you misread me slightly; no harm done
Without any portion of doubt, I think this video shows both of the most talented, innovative, most heart aware and inspiring american directors of the next 10 years (and past as well)
THIS INTERVIEW WAS TOO SHORT !! "ran too long but i didn't want it to end" MORE LIKE "ran too short and i didn't want it to end" i feel like these two were just getting deep into what they were talking about and all of a sudden an abrupt end. denis + luca's interview ran for 58 mins. i don't understand why these two directors weren't allotted the same amount of time especially because they had done research on each other. so the conversation was full of gems that folks appreciate!
Great point from Corbet about the "CEO mindset" of parts of the modern moviegoing audience. Treating films like racehorses, obsessing over box office receipts... with absolute no stake at the outcome! It's absurd
@@kingvisionsmediaHe’s just passionate. Sometimes you get carried away when talking about things your passionate about. I don’t think it’s egocentric or anything. He’s just knowledgable and likes his projects, in my opinion.
these talkative bunches don’t mean to overcrowd those conversations but they do, dudes like Tarantino will talk over you until you force yourself into the conversation. They don’t mean anything by it but it does make for rough conversations.
I remember Brady Corbet from Thunderbirds. I love that he's now a potential Oscar winner (I genuinely like the Thunderbirds film, it'svso much fun and Lady P and Parker are perfectly cast).
It speaks volumes that what I've heard from fam who saw Anora in a Moscow cinema, the audience was absolutely laughing their ass off, its the sort of universally-appealing comedy and great writing of the film but also a dedication to authenticity regarding the sort of community you were looking at that clearly paid off. It would be so easy to make another film that just 'others' Russians, and just half-assed Russian-language bits (considering a lot of Hollywood films have used fake Russian), but Sean Baker actually gives a shit about the story he's trying to tell and the people involved in it.
Variety directors on directors - Love it! Could do set directors on set directors or stuntman on stuntman or costume makers on costume makers! Love it 🥰
On the runtime conversation, there are great films that are 20 minutes long (A Charlie Brown Christmas) and great films that are 8 hours long (Sergei Bondarchuck's War and Peace). To quote Roger Ebert, "No great film is ever long enough, and no bad film is ever over soon enough"
9:44 I have an issue with this, novels can be as long as they want becauae you can pick it up and drop it whenever you need, movies you have to see it in one sitting.
sean please dont leave america to film! while expensive, nobody can quite capture the essence of america like your films. you’re a national treasure we must gatekeep
I love sean baker him my friend is an actress and hes on the list of directors that if she ever works with she'd have to facetime me so i could give him his props. I also loved the brutalist Brady is so talented as well.
i think the best director and picture will be just between the two of them… and I would be happy to see whether it goes to Brady or Sean. Anora and The Brutalist are easily the bests of the year
Brady really seemed like he wanted to express his knowledge and history of the industry. He seems to be getting the same questions over and over in this press junkets (as usual) but here it seems he could just sort of go off about his journey. I wish Sean spoke a lot more and Brady gave him more space but overall its a good enough sit down.
I have seen almost everything this season except The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Sing Sing, Sacred Fig, I’m Still Here, among others. I wish theaters in the Twin Cities would get on it and release these
Sean Baker did great interviewing Brady Corbet
true lmao
😂
I skipped to 20 different points in the video and it was the same person talking every time.
Baker is a G!
tbh sean baker is an established filmmaker now with thousands of interviews, whereas brady is an upcomer so I'm all for hearing him talk, especially if sean baker wants to hear more as well

We need to get Coralie Fargeat and Robert Eggers next
Shawn levy and Jon m chu 🤣
For being “kind of introverted” and “not a performer,” Brady Corbet sure holds court. Real Ghost of Christmas Present vibe goin on with him.

People’s minds are wholly colonized now
Loved this conversation, thank you!
Brady Corbet did NOT wanna talk about Anora. My god!
He’s a brilliant filmmaker but I did feel this a bit too much too. I wanted to hear equally about both films
Exactly! Almost like he only wanted to promote himself and his choices, and not asking or inquiring much about Sean Baker or his movie.

this one is very important for aspiring filmmakers such as myself thank you variety thank you so much
Any funny games fans? Love seeing how far Brady has come!
Sean is so humble. He really needs to know that he IS a good filmmaker. Anora, Florida Project and Red Rocket are so good!
I remember Brady Corbet from Thunderbirds. I love that he's now a potential Oscar winner (I genuinely like the Thunderbirds film, it'svso much fun and Lady P and Parker are perfectly cast).

Variety directors on directors - Love it! Could do set directors on set directors or stuntman on stuntman or costume makers on costume makers! Love it 🥰
I adore Sean Baker, he is a great listener
A little weird about how little they talked about Anora compared to The Brutalist (I like both movies btw)
They talked more about Sean bakers career than anora
On the runtime conversation, there are great films that are 20 minutes long (A Charlie Brown Christmas) and great films that are 8 hours long (Sergei Bondarchuck's War and Peace). To quote Roger Ebert, "No great film is ever long enough, and no bad film is ever over soon enough"
Brady Corbet ended fascism with Childhood Of A Leader. He's a true hero.
Beautiful. Two directors I respect, because they respect "cinema."
I wish this interview was 3 hours
Damn..this pairing...just perfect. The education from this is gold for us emerging filmmakers.
Loved this conversation!!!❤
Ugh, I wish this interview was 3.5 hours long.
It even could had a 15 minute intermission.
Great pairing, two greats on their way to the top!
Indie GOAT Sean Baker
Anora is great! Really great directing by Sean. I look forward to seeing the Brutalist.
I still can't believe thats the actor from "Funny Games". Man, what a small 🌎...i really hopes he keeps making masterpieces
Brady Corbet seems a bit too full of himself. Sean Baker can barely get a word in.
I didn't know Matt Cameron from Soundgarden/Pearl Jam directed Anora. That's a busy man.
The laugh I just let out. Honestly, Matt Cameron having a secret life as a filmmaker wouldn't shock me.
Masterclass filmmakers!
woah he's so right about the fact that even arthouse small films are guilty of following their own trends and algorthyms of sameness
Awesome chat.
These are your contenders for best director. Two best films of the year
You have to see Brady Corbet in Simon Killer. Incredible film and performance. Antonio Campos the man
Incredibile interview, they touched all the themes I wanted to hear
Two masters at the top of their game, discussing it. Like watching Kobe and Iverson sit down and have a conversation about ball in '03
Would love a series that combines the music business too.
Singers on Singers etc.
It's crazy that this is the kid from the live action thunderbirds movie
Sean has been ignored for too long, but Brady, What a Masterpiece.
I hope it's Brady.
9:44 I have an issue with this, novels can be as long as they want becauae you can pick it up and drop it whenever you need, movies you have to see it in one sitting.
sean please dont leave america to film! while expensive, nobody can quite capture the essence of america like your films. you’re a national treasure we must gatekeep
Love their films so much, very interesting conversation.
PS: 'The Childhood of a Leader' is a film from 2015, not 2024.
this will be a fun and insightful conversation
I love sean baker him my friend is an actress and hes on the list of directors that if she ever works with she'd have to facetime me so i could give him his props. I also loved the brutalist Brady is so talented as well.
Insanely cool pairing
i think the best director and picture will be just between the two of them… and I would be happy to see whether it goes to Brady or Sean. Anora and The Brutalist are easily the bests of the year
Topic of Von Trier “He’s a beautiful human being” lol right
Two of the best of the year together? I see what Variety did there!
Brady really seemed like he wanted to express his knowledge and history of the industry. He seems to be getting the same questions over and over in this press junkets (as usual) but here it seems he could just sort of go off about his journey. I wish Sean spoke a lot more and Brady gave him more space but overall its a good enough sit down.
Got my popcorn ready
looking forward to The Brutalist
I have seen almost everything this season except The Brutalist, Nickel Boys, Sing Sing, Sacred Fig, I’m Still Here, among others. I wish theaters in the Twin Cities would get on it and release these
I'm Still Here is great
HERE for the marvel shade
