As a Greek I can’t believe that a fellow Greek who actually grew up in Greece, went to film school in Athens and started his career in Greece is sitting at this round table among some legends and Hollywood A-listers Really proud of Giorgos
Εγώ πάλι θεωρώ τον Λάνθιμο A-lister... Τεράστιο ταλέντο. Αγαπημένος απο τα πρωτα του κιόλας βήματα. Κρίμα που στην Ελλάδα έχει πολύ μικρό κοινό. Και ακόμα πιο κρίμα που θα τον αναγνωρίσουν τώρα που πάει για τα ΜΕΓΑΛΑ βραβεία...
My favorite thing to see in these roundtables, are when the participants talk about the others' work. And lee asking Cuarón about how he made that shot.... that's beautiful.
@Shen Shen I found it not particularly harrowing nor meaningful. Really. Not at all. It felt like it wanted desperately to score that hail-mary touchdown to come from behind for the win, but it never earned any of my enthrallment. It's a boring, pretenious, meaningless, meandering affectation of art.
How do you know you won in directing? When Spike Lee congratulates you for your work. That melted my heart. Two legendary directors right next to each other.
The time he asks what important person the directors would like to have dinner with, and so Ryan says that at the moment he would invite his mother, and then the interviewer rudely says that nobody there knew her so Coogler had to pick another person, you can see how everyone at the table was uncomfortable. I mean, Bradley just had choose his teacher right before. What a disaster.
Hollywood reporter is cancer. Guess they'd rather have the headline "Click here to see what celebrity Coogler picked for his dream dinner" rather than taking advantage of having him as a guest and letting him answer the question his own way.
George Costanza I mean, this interviewer has always been a disastrous. I was shocked that even after so many backlash, THR would still invite him to host this conversation. With major respect, but what a waste of great content.
Luz Oliveira at the same time, I’m sick of hearing people name their mothers when asked who’s their hero. Because the host is right. We don’t know the mom.
B.b. Gun Well, then it’s the interviewer fault for not being specific about who he was referring to or about what kind of people he wanted the directors to acknowledge right there. The way he replied Ryan right after Coogler’s answer was very rude.
As a Latino I gotta commend the Mexican community for encouraging cinema the way they do. Cuarón, Iñarritu, Del Toro, etc... in the last years there is always representation in the great ones at the end of the year. Roma is my favorite 2018 film so far.
Leonardo Guerini You know down to earth means practical and realistic right? It also means, no illusions or pretensions. Basically Cuaron is someone who doesn't sugar coat things. He's very brutally and openly honest in his responses. I know down to earth sounds like the opposite but it isn't. I used to think down to earth meant humble or modest. I found out I was wrong.
yeah no other director in mexico gets the freedom he got. not down to earth at all. money has given him a lot of power and that easily reflects on the movie. (just had to point that out cause americans can’t realise that lol).
this is the funniest moment of the interview. he stuttered bc it was another intrusive question towards Bradley Cooper. I replayed it 10 times laughing harder each replay
So refreshing to hear all the directors being direct with each other, occassionally coming to cross purposes but having a real conversation... Spike Lee's frankness in particular is a treasure.
Marielle Heller is such an interesting, fresh new voice to cinema. Great selection of directors here. Spike Lee is really good at facilitating the conversation/asking people questions.
Love or hate Spike Lee, there's no denying he's a legend in the industry and the admiration of him in this room was obvious. To me he's very hit or miss but when he hits, he hits in a powerful way that few film directors ever manage to do.
55:10 "I'm a speak for myself but, I say a prayer every night because I do what I love. A lot of people go to their graves and work the job they hated, so we're blessed"
thats what kills me about ungratefull athletes, politicians, and celebrities. most people make 30k or less and want to put a gun in their mouth each day. every person should have to have a crap job for a short time to appreciate it when they make it. Make it part of highschool, spend a year as a dish washer or server, spend a year doing hard construction, janitor etc. the world would be so much better with more empathy for the true working class.
Literally why I hate Stephen as a moderator. He doesn't let discussions unfold, he asks leading questions pressing for potential scandals and clickbait. Frankly, he should work for TMZ
It's really great that Cuaron is able to admit that he didn't really want to make Great Expectations. The reality of Hollywood is that a lot of directors have to take projects like that in order to get the freedom that he now has to make films like Children of Men, Gravity, Roma.
You could tell Spike was getting Stephen Galloway irritated by never really answering his questions directly and lowkey running the table like the legend that he is and I loved every second of it!!! Great roundtable by some amazing folks....#firestephengalloway
ACB Films Agree! You don’t need a “leader”-interviewer in a Round Table. These guys would make waaaay better questions an the conversation would be waaaay more interesting!
I've always felt that these interviews would be better without a moderator, just give them some basic questions to star them off and then just let them talk about whatever they want. I mean c'mon, "name a person that inspired you", what is this a job interview?
What Lee said about doing what you love and that so many go to their graves working jobs they hate, that broke me. I've always wanted to be a writer and it's so tough when you have no confidence.
It's on of those professions that seems like a dream job that only a few can do and still put food on their tables. So much talent is probably lost because of the reality of the business side of things.
Bradley Cooper and Ryan Coogler seem out of place at this round table, given their paltry accomplishments as directors. They don't deserve any nominations.

@@wood18net You are such a dumbfuck lmao.Most of Yorgos movies originate from greek drama theatricks. Like the killing of the sacred Deer. Lanthimos work has nothing in common with Kubrick
@@wood18net Such a charlatan that he went on to make a bunch of amazing movies after Dogtooth. There have been so many movies that it's inevitable a certain story or type of story has been told by someone else at some point. And even knowingly or unkownigly one draws inspiration from certain filmakers/films they've watched. Dogtooth is not the only film he has made, The Lobster / Killing of the Sacred Deer / Alps / The Favourite All high concept movies , all award winning movies which shows Lanthimos's ability as a writer and director.
Not specifically. He was rude to Bradley Cooper too, even more so actually. I really don't like this guy now lmao he might just be the most unlikable interviewer I think I've seen, next to the british guy who bombed both his Tarantino and RDJ interview.
Probably because he doesn't offer anything insightful at all, his answers are vague and all over the place. He is obviously talented but you wouldn't know it from listening to him speak.
Well... actually at 38:41 he made one of his uncomfortable questions. Even Spike Lee and Ryan Coogler reacted to this. He improved... but still has to get better
Agreed. I had already written him off in my mind but these roundtables are too compelling to pass so I'm glad I can watch without a distraction. I'm only half-way in and he's doing a really great job, all feels natural!
why did he try and get Bradley to spill the tea all the time??...other ppl noticed (ryan shaking his head at that problem with a director question) very negative and he responded well each and every time
The thing I wanted them to talk about the most was when they started to say what part of the process was most painful and why and they Stephen interrupts them to get back to his script of question. As an interviewer ya gotta know when to go with the flow of the interview.
It's funny how they make fun of this bad, bad, bad journalist. Spike Lee doesn't give a shit about offending him or pointing how unprofessional he is xD
Galloway: “Don’t you ever hate it?” Lee: “Hate what?” Spike literally just went on a tangent about how they’re all lucky and love what they do and that’s how he followed that up? *rubs forehead*
Richard Lukunku I’m tired of people naming their moms when they’re asked this question. It means nothing except that you really love your mom which is almost everyone.
To be honest...I'm here for Cuarón & Spike Lee....anyelse ??? Btw...this moment 49:30 was epic in the video. Spike wonders and ask how the hell Cuarón do that beach scene
Bradley's anecdote on finding his passion for directing was really inspiring and the sense of curiosity was really relatable. I always look forward to this series, amazing intimate content.
I love Ryan Coogler's answers, but I also love how some of the other directors look a him as he's answering; not only as if it's incredulous that he's a director, but that he's done work to earn him a spot at that table.
@@arshaddahlan Some other account managed to get a hold of their Actors Roundtable and uploaded it but THR didn't post it. And they definitely haven't posted the Actresses Roundtable. I aint watchin either until they put it up lol
This interviewer needs to go, he’s always looking for dirt, but these people are too smart, talented and respectful to sink to that level. Also I don’t know Ryan Cooglers mom, but it would of been nice to hear about her instead of shutting him down.
I just want to echo the sentiment that Galloway needs to be replaced on these. He's stubborn, curt, snobbish and yes, he interrupts far too often. I much prefer Matt Belloni and Lacey Rose as hosts. I think they would make an excellent pairing for all of these roundtables.
I really like Matt Belloni :) he seems like he's just a superfan who's lucky enough to join his heroes and he lets the guests lead the conversation and goes with the flow
I do not where this hate towards Stephen Galloway comes from but you should just stop. He's not stubborn and he doesn't interrupt he let's them talk and ask each other questions and he asks interesting questions I would ask.
It's interesting. You can tell that the interviewer (Stephen?) put Coogler in a box based on his urban accent. He seems to display a sort of passive disrespect towards him. Or maybe Im reading it wrong. Regardless, Im really happy and proud of what Coogler has accomplished.
He really seemed to approach him differently, Ryan isn't very well spoken, and this proper brit who is used to conversing with other elitist seamed to be fishing for more.
one of the best roundtables i have ever seen, so educational, so inspiring, so freeflowing, so much variety and love for the craft. wish there wasn't a time constraint. you (THR) should post the unedited version - longer with more content!!!
@@zzzz-wf3fb Whether you like his films or not, you can't deny that he's the most successful living director, maybe of all time. He created the concept of what we know today as studio blockbusters with films like ET, the Indiana Jones franchise, Jaws and Jurassic Park. So whether you think he's shit or not, you can't deny that the title fits him.
I'm very happy that Cuarón quoted Mujica as one of the personalities he admires. It's one of my favorite directors in honoring my political hero. I am proud to be Latin American like them. Viva Cuarón! Viva Mujica! Viva Latino America!!!
I don’t know if I’ve seen so much candor about the structural “path” to filmmaking and the dangers of gatekeeping in this kind of public setting before. Props to all of these artists who are willing to pull relatively taboo subjects out into the open and to validate each other like they did
Guess Galloway isn't the one writing the titles. He was so thirsty for Bradley to name drop some bad directors or to say why Beyonce dropped out. Fucker just wanted a clip he could clickbait.
I love Spike for bringing up the CIA assassination of Lumumba. I would have liked to see a discussion of the current editorial control the Department of Defense has over all films involving military, and censoring anything that sheds inconvenient light on their activities. With Cooper doing American Sniper and Spike, Alfonso, and Coogler displaying knowledge of our history of empire building, I would have found that convo profoundly interesting.
I think Galloway lost control of the interview in the last few minutes. This question about people who inspire you was not executed and conducted in the best way. A little embarrassing the environment stayed.
I don't know what you are watching. He's so much worse this year. That part where he rejected Ryan Coogler's answer of his mom as someone he admires and then rejected his follow up answer because he's dead. Beyond smug.
To be fair, it's not that easy to moderate a table of several creatives. He has a ton of information in his head, asks interesting questions and all. He does some annoying things, but his job is definitely not as easy as it seems.
There’s something about this round table, more than any actor or comedian roundtables I’ve seen, that is so warm, respectful (excluding the host, of course) and relaxed. I’m aware some of the directors at the table are more green than others, but it’s clear they all respect and love each other, from the way they bond over favorite movies to professing their admiration for each other’s work. Maybe it’s the third eye actors have for being watched that keep them ever distant, even in the tiniest increment, that puts the actor roundtables a cut below for me. It’s like the difference between listening to an LP and a CD.

I feel kinda bad, he looks slightly traumatised in these recent interviews. Must've read the comments.
I was going to say it seemed like everyone started to get annoyed with his shortness and the way he asked certain questions
Well... actually at 38:41 he made one of his uncomfortable questions. Even Spike Lee and Ryan Coogler reacted to this. He improved... but still has to get better
Agreed. I had already written him off in my mind but these roundtables are too compelling to pass so I'm glad I can watch without a distraction. I'm only half-way in and he's doing a really great job, all feels natural!
I respect your opinion but I do not agree with the word "improve" I think he's "changed."
Spike was without a doubt the fun in this interview, followed by Cuaron. But clearly everyone was charmed by Spike, even Alfonso.
why did he try and get Bradley to spill the tea all the time??...other ppl noticed (ryan shaking his head at that problem with a director question) very negative and he responded well each and every time
FINALLY, they are bringing back the full interviews
The thing I wanted them to talk about the most was when they started to say what part of the process was most painful and why and they Stephen interrupts them to get back to his script of question. As an interviewer ya gotta know when to go with the flow of the interview.
i feel like they all are so interested to hear what Cuaron has to say, they all look at him with such admiration
i know i do, lol
It's funny how they make fun of this bad, bad, bad journalist. Spike Lee doesn't give a shit about offending him or pointing how unprofessional he is xD
what a fabulous roundtable. good chemistry, no interruptions, genuine interest in each other's work. lovely, educating, calming.
Just here for Lee, Alfonso, Lanthimos, & Coogler
On the low. If the favourite gets no recognition at the oscars I'm gonna be pisssssssssed.
Galloway: “Don’t you ever hate it?”
Lee: “Hate what?”
Spike literally just went on a tangent about how they’re all lucky and love what they do and that’s how he followed that up?
*rubs forehead*
When i hear that intro guitar lick I'm ready for the snack
Go back 2 beatboxin
The directors ganging up on the moderator for being inconsistent is golden!
if Ryan's mom is his hero then that's that man!!! GTFOH. I always hate the show when this guy is on.
Richard Lukunku I’m tired of people naming their moms when they’re asked this question. It means nothing except that you really love your mom which is almost everyone.
@@BbGun-lw5vi Lol...if that is their answer than it is what it is. Doesn't really matter how tired of it you are.
@@BbGun-lw5vi Appreciating your mother means "nothing" to you. Okay? Kinds sad.
@@BbGun-lw5vi so you rather someone lie then ? That's sad
@@BbGun-lw5vi Yeah because how on earth would somebody's mother possibly be a hero to them?
(Rolling eyes)
To be honest...I'm here for Cuarón & Spike Lee....anyelse ??? Btw...this moment 49:30 was epic in the video. Spike wonders and ask how the hell Cuarón do that beach scene
Juan Gomez 😬
I'm here for them and Yorgos
I love Marielle's reaction to Alfonso saying they could only do one take of the scene.
@@0axel078 yeah...
I'm here primarily for Yiorgos and also for Cuaron.
The questions were so bad the directors had to take over and ask their own questions...
mangoesandgrapes I like when the guests ask the questions tho it’s nice to see people in the industry interact like this
@@henoktesfom996 I totally agree. I meant it as a criticism of the interviewer - most of his questions had a negative bent
mangoesandgrapes yeh the interviewer is completely whack
Bradley's anecdote on finding his passion for directing was really inspiring and the sense of curiosity was really relatable. I always look forward to this series, amazing intimate content.
Cuarón always looks like child listening to his grandpa's stories, when someone else speaks. Wonderful!
I love Ryan Coogler's answers, but I also love how some of the other directors look a him as he's answering; not only as if it's incredulous that he's a director, but that he's done work to earn him a spot at that table.
Finally. Thank you. Now we just need the Actors and Actresses Roundtable and we will have made great progress
Pretty sure they came out already
Not the full episodes, no. @@arshaddahlan
@@arshaddahlan Some other account managed to get a hold of their Actors Roundtable and uploaded it but THR didn't post it. And they definitely haven't posted the Actresses Roundtable. I aint watchin either until they put it up lol
21:32 the legend has changed
This interviewer needs to go, he’s always looking for dirt, but these people are too smart, talented and respectful to sink to that level.
Also I don’t know Ryan Cooglers mom, but it would of been nice to hear about her instead of shutting him down.
So proud of Coogler! We need more Bay Area voices in the film industry.
I just want to echo the sentiment that Galloway needs to be replaced on these. He's stubborn, curt, snobbish and yes, he interrupts far too often. I much prefer Matt Belloni and Lacey Rose as hosts. I think they would make an excellent pairing for all of these roundtables.
I really like Matt Belloni :) he seems like he's just a superfan who's lucky enough to join his heroes and he lets the guests lead the conversation and goes with the flow
Completely agree
all facts
Reeeebeeeecca Fooooord!!! 🤞🤞🤞
I do not where this hate towards Stephen Galloway comes from but you should just stop. He's not stubborn and he doesn't interrupt he let's them talk and ask each other questions and he asks interesting questions I would ask.
29:30 As a fellow Greek film student myself, that part hurts...
This was actually enjoyable, nicely done. Thanks for finally posting.
I think it's interesting how Yorgos' movies are really hilarious yet he seems so serious in interviews.
@@wood18netexample plz
Just like the Coen Brothers. Watching their interviews, one can't say they made the big Lebowski
Yorgos mentioning the Blue, White, Red trilogy, superb choice
Eh....
It's interesting. You can tell that the interviewer (Stephen?) put Coogler in a box based on his urban accent. He seems to display a sort of passive disrespect towards him. Or maybe Im reading it wrong. Regardless, Im really happy and proud of what Coogler has accomplished.
yeah he had a real weird dismissive energy towards Ryan with every exchange.
Brits are often classist
He really seemed to approach him differently, Ryan isn't very well spoken, and this proper brit who is used to conversing with other elitist seamed to be fishing for more.
one of the best roundtables i have ever seen, so educational, so inspiring, so freeflowing, so much variety and love for the craft. wish there wasn't a time constraint. you (THR) should post the unedited version - longer with more content!!!
Yorgos Lanthimos is such a great filmmaker.
I love how the directors made this an amazing roundtable, working around Stephen Galloway terrible questions and rude attitude.
Yes agreed
How am I supposed to study for my finals now? THR, sweetie, I'll see you in court!
You have finals right now? Lol
This is the most naturally diverse roundtable that I've witnessed. It is beautiful.
I love how newbie Bradley is in this table💗
I love the directors just losing it at Galloway's ridiculous approach to conversing
I know! He called Ryan, the "king of studio films." The shock on Ryan's face. LMAO.
@@ellcally508 True, it's ridiculous to make a statement like that about anyone other than Spielberg
Ronaldo Sosa but spielberg ain’t shit. So overrated.
@@zzzz-wf3fb Whether you like his films or not, you can't deny that he's the most successful living director, maybe of all time. He created the concept of what we know today as studio blockbusters with films like ET, the Indiana Jones franchise, Jaws and Jurassic Park. So whether you think he's shit or not, you can't deny that the title fits him.
He's a fucking robot.
I'm very happy that Cuarón quoted Mujica as one of the personalities he admires.
It's one of my favorite directors in honoring my political hero.
I am proud to be Latin American like them.
Viva Cuarón! Viva Mujica!
Viva Latino America!!!
de qué país eres?
@@urban7rat Brasil
I actually like the interviewer's calm demeanor....it makes everyone more relaxed..
On a side note The Favorite was a great movie
One a side note to the side note The Favourite was an incredibly great movie
basti basti On a side note to the side note to the side note... The Favourite was a phenomenally great movie.
Factz!!!!
@@wood18net Piss off loser. Fuck those plastic Oldies
I can't wait until Spike Lee writes a book about his life, so many juicy stories
Oh yes, Ryan Coogler! Love him!
5 under appreciated cinematic masterminds and then there’s Ryan Coogler
Love how it starts VERY subtly.
I'm here just for Alfonso, Lanthimos and Spike Lee.
Just? That's like half the table, man.
Same, i could care less about the other guys
Spike asking bold questions, haha, love it.
Amazing how he (Ryan) said his mom was his hero or admire not and host just through it away because he wanted someone that everybody knew haha....wow
And Ryan had to laugh it off lol I know he wanted to something to him
@@itsrheachelle right! You could tell everyone at the table was on edge of awkwardness. Lol
I liked that Marielle Heller pointed out that Bradley Cooper spoke about his teacher (that no one knew either).
I don’t know if I’ve seen so much candor about the structural “path” to filmmaking and the dangers of gatekeeping in this kind of public setting before. Props to all of these artists who are willing to pull relatively taboo subjects out into the open and to validate each other like they did
I would like to see a roundtable with Lars Von Trier trolling people for one hour straight
i loved this roundtable, they all seemed comfortable with each other.
Suprised they didn't put Spike Lee or Bradley Cooper in the title, could of got some extra clicks.
Guess Galloway isn't the one writing the titles. He was so thirsty for Bradley to name drop some bad directors or to say why Beyonce dropped out. Fucker just wanted a clip he could clickbait.
*could _have,_ not 'could of'.
h. yussuf I don’t actually care
@@YourBlackLocal I don't care what you actually care about. What's right is right.
h. yussuf ok then? Didn’t know RUclips was a formal site.
I love Spike for bringing up the CIA assassination of Lumumba. I would have liked to see a discussion of the current editorial control the Department of Defense has over all films involving military, and censoring anything that sheds inconvenient light on their activities. With Cooper doing American Sniper and Spike, Alfonso, and Coogler displaying knowledge of our history of empire building, I would have found that convo profoundly interesting.
I think Galloway lost control of the interview in the last few minutes. This question about people who inspire you was not executed and conducted in the best way. A little embarrassing the environment stayed.
Crazy to think Ryan Coogler once played against Marshawn Lynch in college football and now he's such an amazing director of huge Hollywood films.
40 mins in and it's going great.. Thank you Stephen Galloway.. This is your best till date.
I don't know what you are watching. He's so much worse this year. That part where he rejected Ryan Coogler's answer of his mom as someone he admires and then rejected his follow up answer because he's dead. Beyond smug.
I need a part 2 with the directors just asking each other questions
We're still doing this with Stephen Galloway. Why must you insist on punishing us, THR??
@@krille696 that's just sick thinking man
He was actually pretty good in this one, and asked some relevant follow ups. Maybe he finally read the comments.
He's the editor of the magazine he's not going anywhere unfortunately haha
To be fair, it's not that easy to moderate a table of several creatives. He has a ton of information in his head, asks interesting questions and all. He does some annoying things, but his job is definitely not as easy as it seems.
aeivivi he actually improved.
I am just here for the funny conversation between Spike Lee and Ryan Coogler about NYU and USC lol
gucci vs prada. Classic
There’s something about this round table, more than any actor or comedian roundtables I’ve seen, that is so warm, respectful (excluding the host, of course) and relaxed. I’m aware some of the directors at the table are more green than others, but it’s clear they all respect and love each other, from the way they bond over favorite movies to professing their admiration for each other’s work. Maybe it’s the third eye actors have for being watched that keep them ever distant, even in the tiniest increment, that puts the actor roundtables a cut below for me. It’s like the difference between listening to an LP and a CD.
