0:57 "I'm going to be making a film with kids very soon." THE FLORIDA PROJECT! 1:06 "Lee Chang-Dong...I consider him a modern master...He has to make another film soon." BURNING!
He's like a mix of a modern John Cassavetes/American Mike Leigh. Dude's one of the very few filmmakers working today who's making films that show us aspects of life most other movies won't. We need more guys like him today.
@@Whoa802 I fully agree with that. I Know casssvetes and mike Leigh are big influence of his. So it makes sense. He gives us slice of life films like no other
@@xandega6 years late but PTA said that he left a film school class once when his professor said to leave if you want to make the next Terminator 2, so PTA left because he believed it was wrong to discourage a young filmmaker like that.
Sean Baker is an amazing realist and humanist director. I love his films and I absolutely love how he cites other great filmmakers of the same vein like Lee Chang Dong, Mike Leigh, Chantel Akerman, and Edward Yang
Rene Clair - I married a witch, Mike Leigh - Naked + Life is sweet, Alex Cox - Repo man, Ken Loach - Kes, Chang-dong Lee - Secret Sunshine, Takashi Murakami - Jellyfish eyes, Edward Yang - Yi Yi, Gregory Nava - El norte, Chantal Akerman in the seventies, Paul Bartel - Eating Raoul, Eric Rohmer - Clair's knee
Thank you so much for doing that -- I have such a hard time hearing / seeing the films and I am furiously making notes into my iphone to be forgotten. But these are gems!
It's funny to see now after watching "The Florida Project" that he chose here great movies starred by kids like "Kes", "Yi Yi" and "Secret Sunshine" that served as divine inspiration to make this new film. The result couldn't be better: Brooklynn Prince is terrific in "The Florida Project".
That he’s so complimentary about his influences, and that he’s so forthright about what he loves about different films….beyond being a great filmmaker, he also seems like a great mentor. Just watch Joanna Arnow’s newest film, which she wrote and directed and he produced.
I met this guy at the Virginia Film Festival back in 2008 (he gave a talk on his movie Prince of Broadway, which was a great watch); really cool guy, I'm glad to see he's still making/talking about movies :D
Great picks all around! I love seeing the inspiration coming from Edward Yang and Lee Chang-dong. Both are incredible directors who are able to capture the lives and frustrations of very real people in their respective nations, just like Baker does with America.
I think the dream of the overnight success indie director like Robert Rodriguez or Kevin Smith is dead now. Far too many folks are out there making movies now with little-to-no financial support, so the mere accomplishment of getting a feature-length indie done on your own isn't as impressive a feat to studio executives as it was back during the analog era. If there's anyone here who's also an aspiring filmmaker like me, my advice for them is to keep calm and keep trying. Not everyone can have a breakout indie debut like Steven Soderbergh or Richard Linklater. It takes time, patience, and hard work.
This guy is fuckin' adorable. Like a little kid in a candy store. Finally, someone picked up Naked! I keep seeing it in all of these closet raid videos and no one ever picks it up, I keep daydreaming that I get to pick it one day. I liked the Florida project, but I have to see more of Sean's movies.

It's insane how no one ever talks about how young he looks doesn't even look in his 50s how he managed this and how he's lifestyle i always wonder that in my head watching his movies
Tina Privitera seriously. The Florida Project being skipped over like it was was such a huge insult to, what I felt, was one of the top three films of the year.
Life is Sweet is one of my top favorites of all time and Mike Leigh is one of my favorite directors, that's so cool he was influenced by Life is Sweet enough to include a scene in Tangerine that was inspired by it. From the thumbnail I was wondering if that was the DVDs he was holding cause I have it on criterion as well.
Anybody else get the feeling that Criterion Collectors are starting to resemble vinyl collectors like we see in HIGH FIDELITY? Where we all turn into a bunch of elitists arguing over which Danish movement was best, make lists of best sophomore efforts (and shitting on people with more than 4 English-language films in any list), and keep demanding Blu-ray editions of obscure Senegalese Third Cinema movies? I mean, I'm looking FORWARD to it, but...I still worry.
David Heslin No, it's not. But the TEMPTATION to be purist assholes can be very strong when you start talking about what makes a quality film worthy of recognition from Criterion.
What's the alternative? Seeing the latest Vin Diesel film twice in the theatre because it yields such lovely charms upon second viewing? I'll stick with Criterion, thanks. Voluntary elitist over here. Too much fucking annoying pandering happening everywhere else in the world.
Envious Sean worked with Mary Woronov, and can get her to sign Eating Raoul! She's so cool! Really hope Criterion could issue Scenes From A Class Struggle In Beverly Hills. Get Mary's thoughts in there, Beltram and all. The contrast to Eating Raoul would be so interesting.

But that Sunshine is just on another level
Burning is a really good elusive movie.
Well Burning sucked unfortunately, it really twisted the story it was based on beyond recognition and with no payoff
@@mark9294it’s okay to be wrong.

The Fidget Spinner Movie, ending could’ve been better but I really liked it. Need to watch Tangerine still

"I went to NYU wanting to make the next Die Hard"
Is this the kid that PTA was talking about?

Love to see how excited people are when they go in there. Even the older guys like Friedkin are so enthusiastic.
Sean Baker is such a Criterion fanboy I love it
Sean, You are in the company of the best filmmakers in the world! It was an honor to have worked with you.
10 out of 10 for enthusiasm. One of the best closet picks.
Sean Baker is an amazing realist and humanist director. I love his films and I absolutely love how he cites other great filmmakers of the same vein like Lee Chang Dong, Mike Leigh, Chantel Akerman, and Edward Yang
And he’s also a huge fan of low budget slasher movies and Filipino Cannibal movies!
I believe this is the first closet video where a director grabs YiYi.
+Albert Maximus And Secret Sunshine
If the distinction is "director" then you may be right, but late great cinematographer Harris Savides picked it out in his closet vid .
I ordered that film from Blockbuster
fuck yesssss just watched it, such an incredible film
I mean it's one of the greatest movies ever made really, so glad he loves it so much.
who wouldn't be greedy in that position
Gandhi
Martin Luther King Jr.
Abraham Lincoln
And considering how much of these films involved the work of Jewish people, Adolf Hitler.
The Fidget Spinner Movie relax
The Fidget Spinner Movie Not the place for philosophical comments.
Ikr
he seems to be a really genuine and humble man. we stan.

Thanks
I noticed “La Cienaga” by Lucrecia Martel at the end.
Thank you so much for doing that -- I have such a hard time hearing / seeing the films and I am furiously making notes into my iphone to be forgotten. But these are gems!
Thank you!!!!
Eric Rohmer collection. Including Claire’s Knee.

I'd be the guy in there asking "You guys got Jaws?"
YA LIKE JAWS
Got any uhhhhh Star Wars?
You guys got uhhhhhhh Jurassic Park?
Yeeeahh I was wondering if you CARRIED Dumb and Dumber ???
You wouldn’t... uhh... happen to have The Dark Knight here, would you?
I can listen to him talk about films all day!
No wonder his films are so good!
In addition to an incredible talent he has a great taste.
Ahhh that subtle message for The Florida Project at 0:58. I'm so stoked for that movie, it looks fucking amazing.
AND IT WAS SO GOOD
It was so fucking great.
One of my favorites from last year.
Turns out to be one of the modern classics!
As soon as he picked Repo Man I realized I loved Sean Baker
And that film with kids turned out to be The Florida Project, one of the best films of 2017.
That he’s so complimentary about his influences, and that he’s so forthright about what he loves about different films….beyond being a great filmmaker, he also seems like a great mentor.
Just watch Joanna Arnow’s newest film, which she wrote and directed and he produced.
totally agree . well said
1:13 - ...and 3 years later, Mr. Lee delivers another masterpiece: *Burning!*
It's interesting to see how many of these filmmakers pick up Repo Man and rave about Alex Cox.
I met this guy at the Virginia Film Festival back in 2008 (he gave a talk on his movie Prince of Broadway, which was a great watch); really cool guy, I'm glad to see he's still making/talking about movies :D
The Florida Project is a masterpiece, and thank you for your selection.
Oh cool I'm glad to see that he's a fan of Lee Chang-Dong, Burning is a masterpiece
Saw Peppermint Candy and that BLEW ME AWAY.
Great picks all around! I love seeing the inspiration coming from Edward Yang and Lee Chang-dong. Both are incredible directors who are able to capture the lives and frustrations of very real people in their respective nations, just like Baker does with America.
His road to the top was long and hard but he made it

can't believe he's 50 now. he looks so young!
It's like watching a kid in a candy store. He sounds so excited :)
Thank you Sean Baker! The Florida Project is one of my favourite films of this decade - which I never would have expected!

Great selection!! International, visually and conceptually daring. Nice comments and remarkable ability to integrate trends, and proposals. Great clip
I’ve watched this so many times. Can we get a new one with Sean 🙏🏻
What a character himself!
Secret Sunshine after viewing has never left my memory. The lead Korean star is amazing.
like kids in a candy store! I love this series so much 😂
Excitable ,passionate about film & Has no problem giving praise to other filmmakers..
even if I have no idea who these people are these are always a joy too watch.
I see so many similarities in Anora and Secret Sunshine 😭
It's insane how no one ever talks about how young he looks doesn't even look in his 50s how he managed this and how he's lifestyle i always wonder that in my head watching his movies
I'm surprised he didn't pick a Cassavetes. Tangerine feels like we're in the same neighborhood.
Sean Baker is just the best. Hope we get a Florida Project criterion release eventually.
4k tangerine
“Naked” is an unknown masterpiece & David Thewlis greatest performance! 👌👏👌👏👏 Great pics!
I got it for Christmas from the November criterion sale!
Because of this video ! And Sean baker being influenced by it
List of films:
1. This
2. This
3. This one
4. This
5. Love this
6. This
7. Gotta have this
Has there ever been an explanation of how subjects are selected for a trip in the closet?
I love all Sean Baker movies. Greed at the Criterion spot is understandable.
Love Sean Baker. He does everything brilliantly.
Palme d'Or winner right here!
"He has to make another film soon"
And than Lee Chang Dong made the greatest masterpice 3 years later.
Eh
Sean Baker- You are the future. Sorry you got snubbed for “The Florida Project.” You deserved better.
Tina Privitera seriously. The Florida Project being skipped over like it was was such a huge insult to, what I felt, was one of the top three films of the year.
this aged well
He's so likeable! And so cool to see things in perspective, like he talking about the soon to be The Florida Project!
Sean is so wholesome. Can't wait to see what his next film after Florida Project is like.
Wonderful picks. Looking forward to checking out Yi Yi!
Seleccionó La Ciénaga de Lucrecia Martel... Eliminaron esa parte. Una lástima, hubiera sido interesante escuchar qué dijo sobre esa película...
I consider Sean baker a modern master all his films and a collection of his shorts must be in criterion collection especially Florida project
It's cool that he picked up Life Is Sweet and Secret Sunshine. Both among my all time favorites and both in need of more love.
TFP is such a wonderful film. Sean Baker is a fantastic film auteur.
I finally found a comment section that acknowledges Florida Project. That movie is a phenomenon in modern indie cinema circuit.
Life is Sweet is one of my top favorites of all time and Mike Leigh is one of my favorite directors, that's so cool he was influenced by Life is Sweet enough to include a scene in Tangerine that was inspired by it. From the thumbnail I was wondering if that was the DVDs he was holding cause I have it on criterion as well.

Wow, I don't think I've seen that huge of a haul before. I've never seen anyone take an Eclipse set before. Cool, I love the Eclipse series.
+dannydontgoin237 The Wolfpack too SO many

Manoteó La Ciénaga de Martel, se ve que la tiene en la mano, pero no está la parte en que habla de la peli LPM!
Will criterion ever release their blurays in region b in England?
Best quote in this series: "I think "Claire's knees" set me on the right path..."
Does anyone else feel a weird gravitational pull towards him??? He blew my mind …….
The Florida project is a classic 👌, he done a great job.
Although it is not mentioned, he has Lucrecia Martel's La Ciénaga in his pile.
Back when he was "going to be making a film with kids very soon."
And now we have THE FLORIDA PROJECT.
Awesome.
Excellent picks Sean!
Palme d’Or winner.
Says he doesn't want to be greedy, then proceeds to take half the closet with him!
Sean u have the understanding on history , geography and culture too
Nice it is
These are the minimum prerequisite of a film maker
What a greedy bastard! I would have taken a lot more.
Sirens blaring in the background haha
"The life of a repo man is always intense!" Good pick, sir!
looks like he's also holding La Cienaga, by Lucrecia Martel, why wasn't that shown in the edit?
Yeah I have La Cienaga and I was like wtf I recognize the back of the box he's holding
He’s making a film about kids, The Florida Project....AWESOME MOVIE!!!
And now, Chang-dong Lee has made another movie.
Sean Baker cooked up another absolute banger and won Palm D'or
Do Asghar Farhadi next
My favorite Ken Loach film is The Wind That Shakes the Barley.
Kes is a wonderful beautiful film with a heartbreaking performance by the young lead actor David Bradley who had never acted before doing this film.
From all the films he eventually takes, the only one we don't hear about (I mean is edited out of this) is La Ciénaga
Love the background music
when he's about to say he hasnt watched a film and then its like NOPE SURE I DID
After Serevin closet ... yeah the guys got good wide range taste ...
I want Sean Bakers version of Die Hard
Yo...what's wrong with Die Hard?
of course the guy who likes Claire's Knee went on to make Red Rocket :)
so coming down to Australia anytime soon?
It would help if he held the titles to the camera for a while to see which movies he's actually talking about.
