Criterion Closet Picks zóna
„This is Devil in a Blue Dress by a hometown hero, Carl Franklin. So, this movie’s a masterpiece. Massive influence on my latest picture, Bűnösök (2025).”

„Watership Down I’m only bringing up because it is truly…I think this is the scariest moviegoing experience of my life. My mother took me to see this movie when it came out. What year did this come out? So 1978…I was five years old. My mom thought it was an animated rabbit movie. And, guys, it is technically that. If you’ve got a five-year-old who loves rabbits and also dreams of just blood running through fields, run, don’t walk to Watership Down.”
„Withnail and I. The greatest movie about getting drunk ever made. And when it’s over, you either never want to drink again or you want to have a ton of drinks.”

„I haven’t seen A Brighter Summer Day, but I’m a huge fan of Yi Yi. And I love Edward Yang’s work. I think that he has maybe the greatest eye for composition of any director ever.”
„And I’m surprised I never got around to watching it, but this movie called The Housemaid by Kim Ki-young. Yeah, it’s pretty much any one of your favorite South Korean directors, they probably will have said that they were influenced by this film because it’s very famously one of the greatest South Korean films of all time. And it’s a part of this Martin Scorsese World Cinema Project box set, which seems to have a bunch of really fantastic films that I’m sure are all really great. And so, yeah, I’m excited to finally watch Kim Ki-young’s The Housemaid.”

„Andrej Tarkovszkij really knows what the fuck he’s doing.”
„Happiness, Todd Solondz. This is probably the most fucked-up movie you’ll ever see in your life. I’m so happy that Criterion has it because I couldn’t find it anywhere. It’s not just a black comedy. This is like a rotten black comedy. It’s people at their worst, at their dazzlingly worst. And it’s just like an accumulation of human shit piling up on top…It’s just so fabulous.”

„Now I’m– I have two kids, so I was going to get a couple things for my kids ‘cause that’s kind of all we’re watching. When you have kids, the only opportunity to watch anything is watching things with your kids. So I was gonna take this Jacques Tati Complete, which is amazing. My son is three and a half, my older son, and I did start showing him some Charlie Chaplin stuff and he really liked it.”
„Okay, I would like to talk about Hobson’s Choice a little bit because, like I said, I really don’t get to watch movies at the moment, just with my life, the demands of my life. But I did watch this sometime in the last year and I had such an amazing, magical viewing experience that I made my wife watch it with me a few nights later and had just as much fun watching it through her eyes.”
„Love Gregg Araki. Wish he would hire me.”
„Take The Mother and the Whore. It is, like, a long movie, so you make an afternoon of it. You make, like, a rainy afternoon of it with a friend. It’s so wonderful. The conversations and the dialogue. It’s just very voyeuristic and fun to get lost watching this movie.”
„I mean, every Abbas Kiarostami movie is just a complete beautiful poem.”

„But I was in Japan, and there’s a bar in Golden Gai, in an area of tiny bars, one next to the other, and one bar is called La Jetée because of this film, because of the Chris Marker film. Well, Chris Marker’s work is amazing. Whatever you see with his name, get it, watch it, pay attention.”

„Hello, I’m Natasha Lyonne and I am appropriately dressed to be here in the Criterion Closet today.”
„Naked. Okay. This is one of my favorites. This is David Thewlis at his best. Mike Leigh. I see there’s two editions. I guess I’ll just take both. Such a crush on him from this movie. And Katrin Cartlidge, who’s so amazing, who passed away. But, yeah, don’t watch that, like, if…you know, like, if you pick up a skater, let’s say, in Tompkins Square Park and…I’ll hold the movie again so it has context. You know, you pick up a skater in Tompkins Square Park, you bring them home. Then the morning after, you think, “I think this guy’s really gonna get it. They’re gonna love Naked.” You put it on, you realize it’s, I don’t know, 2020. They don’t have the attention span for that. So watch it alone.”
„Oh, I’m in this one, Uncut Gems. I’m a voice or something.”
„Pickpocket. Is this Robert Bresson? Let’s see. Yes.”
„I think I’m about to have tits out,…”
„‘Cause James Wong Howe is the cinematographer of that and he’s my favorite cinematographer.”

And, really weird, the other day I started singing “People” from Funny Girl and the lady I was working with was like, “Why are you singing that song?” And I said, “I don’t know. It just came to me.” And it was the song that her husband…It was the first ever song her husband played for her when she went back to his house on the night that they met. And they’ve been together ever since. And I randomly picked up on that energy and started singing “People.”

„And it’s probably one of the most beautifully shot films. Black Orpheus.”
„The Monterey Pop Festival is probably one of the most brilliant, brilliant captures of concert footage. The most legendary story, of course, is the Jimi Hendrix Experience performance where Hendrix famously does “Wild Thing” and then he puts his guitar on the floor and he destroys it and he sets it on fire.”
„Gimme Shelter…A concert’s thrown and…a murder occurs during the Rolling Stones’ performance and it’s so chilling to watch the Stones watch the footage of the murder.”
