Past Lives was an emotional experience. So subtle yet had a lot to say about destiny, the roads not taken & empathy towards each other. A quietly powerful film. Celine Song's direction was so self-assured. I'm amazed that this was her first feature film.

I love the energy of Celine in all the roundtable, so bright! 🎉

Totally agree. Celine and Greta Lee exude the same energy. Felt the same in Greta's roundtable with the other powerhouse actresses.

Good job for inviting Justine Triet 👍🏻👍🏻

Past Lives is probably one of the most beautiful romantic movies in existence. I can’t praise it enough.

Agree with Justine about The Boston Strangler. A very underrated classic, ahead of it's time in terms of style, editing and split screen scenes which has been copied so many times. Tony Curtis should have won an Oscar for his performance.

Soooo great seeing Blitz here. Looking at his humble beginnings in Ghana as an artiste and seeing him here doing great things is such an inspiration ❤

Michael Mann - must watch, genius director!

Great roundtable, people assume that Greta and Nolan weren't invited, but maybe they couldn't or declined, telling that, these filmmakers deserve respect and congrats for their work. 😊

They should have got Bradley to translate for Justine. The internet would have gone wild 😝

One of the best roundtables I've seen. Celine, Alexander, Triet, Blitz... a wonderful cross-section of diverse cinema.

Love this, thank you for bringing all these wonderful directors together

Unsurprisingly, the two oldest directors, Mann & Payne, seem to be the most laid back & secure. Celine seems to be the most humble. Blitz seems the most happy to be there & soak up knowledge from the other directors. Bradley Cooper seems like he's the most eager to convince people he's a "serious" director.

For all of you whining that Nolan isn't here. What else is there to say? His work speaks for itself. It's a critical and box office success. Like if he doesn't win, then there is nothing much else to say.

Guys let's chill with all the hate...All these people are remarkable and talented. Let's focus and even learn and get some rare or valuable insight from this group discussion instead of being angry and hating just bcoz its gives us momentary personal subjective affirmation.

why cut these off at 40 min lol, make it an hour at least, for the love of god loll

Alexander Payne sounds like a hoot!!!

Excellent audio edit

I'm really looking forward to watching what Celine will film after this.

Great questions

Past Lives was so sweet and full of truth. The end, when they say goodbye, and she goes to her husband and starts crying. I so understood that moment. She lost that little girl, that piece of her past. It's like when you find out, as an adult, that the house you grew up in was torn down or your favorite teacher has passed away. It's sad but there is some closure. She has a chance now to really move forward and form a better, fuller relationship with her husband.

I feel very spoiled having listened to Bong Joon Ho and his interpreter Sharon Choi for so long that I kind of feel bad for Justine Triet that her interpreter (who im sure is a lovely person) doesn't seem as well practiced or able to articulate to what she said as smoothly. roundtables as a format are largely inaccessible to directors who are non-english speakers and i think there needs to be a better way of figuring that out especially as non-english movies are becoming more popular and accessible with english speaking audiences.

He's a good looking man who's reached the top of Hollywood, why try to be a director? To satisfy his own ego? If he really wants to be useful he'd be better at taking a leaf out of Brad Pitt's book and helping to produce projects. I'm sure he could help get a lot of films made due to his reputation.
