These are the best interviewers, you ask the question with some very simple prompts along the way. The confidence to do this takes a long time to develop. The other thing he does is actually listens to his subjects which develops respect and increases the chances of more information being shared. He does a great colombo method to.
It’s an art form really. He acts very naive and completely non-threatening so they drop their defences and give him what he wants. It works especially well with people who have extreme views, as they enjoy shocking the seemingly mild mannered English man.
Shame he speaks so fondly of his mate the paedo Jimmy saville. Surprisingly blind to that. Does work for the BBC tho and if you were British you would understand that is a very bad thing.
Louis is a very intelligent man and knows what danger he is in when in some of these situations and he displays balls of steel for his craft. Definitely one of the best.
It's his demeanour that's made him so successful. He presents as someone who is intelligent but naive and it tends to disarm his subjects and let them expose themselves or as it often is, hang themselves.
Totally agree. It's that disarming quality that has made him so successful. I remember the Westboro Baptist main woman was totally aware of that "intelligent but naive" and therefore was super defensive, but still Louis managed to penetrate. I would take a bullet for him, haha. I just adore him
Hey the job he done on SaVILE was really good. Was pleasantly surprised at some of the backsteps and wafflings he got out him, with just words. Point : It was practically confession on national tv. Then, roughly a decade later...
He's the best at what he does and I've got total respect for a guy who clearly stands by his morals even when he knows he could get really hurt. That one with the white supremacists was crazy. He stuck with it and took a massive risk to his own safety. All his documentaries are brilliant.
Louis is quite frankly, an amazing bloke. He's put himself in genuinely serious and life-threatening situations more than once and his documentaries are riveting, educational and scary in equal measure. A few years ago he was awarded an honourary Doctorate from Sheffield Hallam University for his contribution to film-making and it is so totally well deserved. Keep up the good work, Louis!
It just makes me angry seeing and hearing what people do in the world. I'm glad Louis is brave enough to confront them and speak with reasoning in both his words and calm voice. He's a legend!
The second Jimmy savile documentary is excellent. Louis basically says that he fell for saviles charms and isn't surprised that he got away with it for so long because he was go good at hiding his actions. He comes across as being genuinely disturbed by the fact that he missed it too.
@@paulgal I think he had children of his own at the time and let him into his house. He might have been willfully ignorant of interactions outside of his own family but I can't see him allowing him near his children. The thing is, savile was considered a "national treasure". He duped pretty much everyone for most of his life. I can see how he would play people that considered him a friend too because he seemed to enjoy playing people.
Theroux speaks very fondly of saville in interviews. I can't listen to him. These r taped long after savilles death. It's very disturbing. I've just read someone describe him as a national treasure. That's exactly what they called saville. Made me shudder.
@redhotridinghood It's a psychology trick. If you ask someone a difficult question and then aren't content with their answer, stay silent and continue to listen, soon enough they'll begin to elaborate just to kill the awkward silence.
The thing about Louis Theroux is that he goes about his documentary process is he goes about it in respect, he doesn’t exploit for entertainment, he’s always aware of the danger and always aware of the situation revolving around his documentary. He’s such a great documentary maker
I think Louis is the best interview er ever. Knows what to say and when not to speak also. Never looks down on people and does not get on anyone's nerves. I love him. X
Louis is set up perfectly for documentaries made in the USA, he comes across as a nerdy Brit that is no threat to anyone and that's how he gets so upclose and asks great insightful questions, maybe even getting some of the people to second guess their ideas about the worlds.
I think this "looking clueless" thing that Louis has going on is just a ruse. Most of his subjects aren't that bright and so they fall for it. I'd say It helps keep him safe and allows some pretty scary individuals and groups to drop themselves in it by airing their horrible views on life. Keep up the great work Louis!
He has such a talent for disarming people and inviting them to speak their mind simply by appearing naive and kind of dumb. He's anything but. He's incredibly intelligent, he knows exactly what he's doing and how to get people's real thoughts out.
i think he does such good interviews as he is non judgemental and shows empathy, we are all one bad decision away from being like some of the people he talks to
LT makes excellent documentaries. His 3 about Westboro Baptist Church are brilliant. One of its members said that if Jesus returned, he would join them in picketing funerals.
I'm an annoying I personally think is arrogant to say there is or isn't a god as we just don't ....but I hope God is and the afterlife is real just because of west bro because I would love to see their faces as he sends them to darkest corners of Hell
His most deadly moment was: my money don’t jiggle jiggle it folds makes me want to dribble dribble no riding in my feet it you really have to see it 6 feet two in a compact no slack but luckily the seats go back and relax in my mind sipping on some red red wine
He is like an everyman avatar to insert the most foreign experiences. I appreciate how every documentary of his I've watched did not seek to make me angry and hateful for my fellow humans. It generated grief, sadness and an acute awareness of how destructive pain is. Observing and trying to understand is hope.
#1 is the one that has always stuck with me--when the one guy starts asking if he's Jewish, and then everyone gets up at once and leaves Louis and his team. They try to lighten it with that "it was time to leave" joke, but the fear of that scene is so palpable.
Louis has given us a window onto some of the most terrifying cults, in-bred craziness and phenomenally sad things going on out there.....he's incredibly brave to put himself into some of these situations. Thank you Louis for opening my eyes to the grotesque underbelly of the world....hard to comprehend. Please be safe, we love you!!
The Americans seem to view him as mocking his subjects. But he won’t let people give a cowardly answer or avoid a question (which maybe comes across as antagonising) but it’s what makes him a good interviewer!
The heroin one is sad. As many resort to heroin due to chronic pain and not being able to afford their prescription medications. I feel so lucky to be in England as I can get my opiates and see doctors regularly. I’ve experienced opiate withdrawals once my prescription didn’t go through properly and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. It’s truly hell
I can empathise with you , i'm on morphine , and have many opiates for pain over the years , one of my worse ever withdrawals was from Pethedine , nightmare stuff to stop
I'm sure this has been said already, but Savile was never convicted of anything. It was only after his death, as a Knight of the realm, that his many many crimes were revealed.
I did my final paper for a religions and cultures college course on Scientology. I went to one of their buildings, talked with some people who i led to believe could recruit me. As i left it was terrifying because the homes on the dead end street belonged to them. It was so creepy. I left super thankful to be a Christian.
He's one if the best. Just showing us how horrific the world truly is, while we are often oblivious that such evil sometimes are truly part of our world
LT has always been brilliant at what he does and I was looking forward to watching this because of that. This is mostly voiceover with so little joined up footage the points are almost lost.
Louis therox is just an amazing journalist, I've watched all his programmes. I enjoy his work, he just wants to understand different things and spread awareness, I mean look at the religious group he followed where the kids were so brainwashed by their parents he thought there was no hope. Then years later he still visits the kids who left the family and saw the light, he does great work
How is it possible that the Miami Dade County jail scene didn’t make it into this top ten? Louis being in the cell with at least 16 men and being asked to his face “are you a real …….?”
Don't judge a book by it's cover - Theroux may come across as a soft-spoken, passive, polite Englishman But he is one of the bravest journalists around
What makes his documentaries special is that it takes some balls and nerves to meet some of the people he has met or to be at some places he has visited. I am thinking especially about those white supremacists meetings he did. Just seeing kids in that environment would make me wanna leave because it's so wrong no matter how you see it and to go in there and have a straight face and just asking questions and listen, that job isn't for everyone.
There was also the one about the demolition derby where he was smacked so hard in an early round he decided not to go on to the later race. The hit looked like he whiplashed his neck.
I've watched Louie many years ago from the beginning and all the way up to his most recent work, and Louis just has this... _"way"_ of acting innocently stupid, yet condescending at the same time by asking questions that are half legit, and half antagonistic, with a dash of hidden insult, and when he asks these questions with this act he puts on (I've seen him do it many times with all sorts of people, like a cat playing with an injured mouse before it becomes food), and he can see, and the viewer can see when the person starts to get worked up, they start getting mad because they're being asked questions they don't wanna answer, or they can't grapple back with the mental judo, and some just flat out get mad, and Louis has even done this to prisoners and just keeps poking the bear with this innocent/condescending act and questioning, just prodding deeper and deeper 😂 like this one prisoner he was doing that too... The guy he was talking to was not nearly as smart or intelligent as Louie (or at all) and was getting mad bc he clearly was just being outsmarted and insulted in such a covertly smart way that he clearly had never dealt with before and didn't know how to overcome or understand, whereas I'm betting the majority of his confrontation are just regular profanity and shit talking and then fighting, which is much simpler and straightforward than what Louie was throwing at him, and it seems like at any moment the inmate was gonna just DECK Louie (they were in a cell together, no bars between them) but Louie seemed to have no fear, and he's smart enough to know when he's making people react/smart enough to read people, and he just keeps prodding, and prodding, and _prodding,_ and every time I see him do that it just cracks me up and also amazes me at how this soft spoken, mild mannered, Harry Potter looking Englishman who looks like he's never thrown a punch or taken one in his life, can be so disrespectful and intrusive while playing dumb like as in he's just a journalist asking questions, yet know _exactly_ what he's doing to (sometimes) dangerous people, and still look em in the eye and continue with just literally playing and toying with them lol
What’s wrong with you lmao ? What do you mean his playing dumb to be insulting ? His just asking hostile people questions as to why they believe in certain ideologies. What do you think is going to happen asking people like questions. You’re thinking way to deep into all.
He has the best interviewing technique. He build a rapport with his subject/interviewee putting them at ease and therefore facilitating a smoother non confrontational response.

CANT EVEN PRONOUNCE HIS NAME RIGHT, DO UR HOMEWORK
Louis has the gift of staying silent and letting people talk on every level. Asks open questions, gains their trust and they talk openly.
Have you seen his brothers docs? They’re amazing too! His name is Marcel and from what I understand, he’s more of a journalist.
I love that about his interviewing style, he isn't afraid to ask hard questions either. I wish more reporters would follow his lead ✊
