A true masterpiece of cinema that deserves a much, MUCH better documentary and/or interview than this. Maybe we'll have to make it one day.

If you payed mote attention you would find this to be a much better interview than you are giving it credit for

A true criminally underated masterpiece of cinema. Its outstanding. I wish nick asked more questions about the making of it rather than focus on the box office

Well, he does after that, its a long interview. I thought it worth it just to hear "What did I do? I committed suicide and was resurrected for the purpose of doing this interview".

Friedkin nails it on "the dream" world, all great films exist in that realm and to tap into that is something that's rare, special and unpredictable. But when they do, its pure magic. Great video, Liked & subscribed!

"who would cast my neighbor anyway? He was a shmuck. I wouldn't give him a cup of sugar.' Love this guy. RIP.

Oh man, that was so great to hear Friedkin's thoughts! About life, his philosophy, anecdotes about Tangerine Dream, and on and on. Also, he handled Nic well too, even though Nic's endless repetitions of questions and claiming to be a younger-version-of-yourself deserved a serious smackdown! I guess he liked the young fellow, and that came through in the teasing. Great interview, flawed as it was. (But as we ALL have to admit, we're all flawed!) RIP William Friedkin.

Friedkin should have his own Netflix series about filmmaking.

I always get a big laugh out of the "Here's that 20 bucks I owe you..." line every time he uses it lol.

“People Believe All Kinds of Crazy Things”-haha Yes ! Truly RIP Mr. William Friedkin

The bridge scene.

I'm glad he stood his ground. No BS

Refn's movies are style over substanc, but he's a damn good sport in this interview. He allows himself to be the fool next to his hero and it's rather endearing.

Yes they are but Is the style that becomes the substance they're like video art

I love the good natured combativeness of this interview(if thats a real word). I wish more director interviews were like this.

Friedkin is the best of all time, Sorcerer and The Exorcist are in the top 10 greatest films ever

Wonderful interview. Thank you.

It’s so funny to me that you what a comedy director give an interview it’s the most humorless and serious conversation. Meanwhile every William Frieidkin interview is hysterical and full of levity despite his very serious filmography.

Oh, what a treat.

Sorcerer, To Live & Die in L.A., French Connection 1& 2, Exorcist, All Masterpieces.

I truly love ❤😊

53:14 refn's perfect comeback...haha..that was hilarious

Awesome 🤩

Is Nicolas Winding Refn being sarcastically awful here or does he actually believe he is a genius and a younger version of Friedkin? If it’s the latter no wonder he hasn’t made a movie in years…. Avoid avoid avoid.

He is annoying! If he isn't interupting Friendkin he's dimissive at times. Friedkin had real fortitute to get through that interview.

As Kanye says “the same wrongs be helping me write my songs”

I thought it was an excellent movie

WF is a master and French Connection is a masterpiece and Sorcerer is a fine film. uNLIKE todays directors who're drowning in their own egos WF is an old school master craftsman who sees life in its all complexity. Refn is not a good interviewer he doesn't seem to fully appreciate WF's talent.

He literally called Sorcerer, a huge flop and critical failure, a straight up Masterpiece. These guys are friends.

The interview started well, but Winding Refn didn't listen, kept repeating himself and ended up sounding arrogant with that refrain of his. It would have sounded better if he'd asked 'what would you advise or tell your younger self'. Instead he made it all about him with his 'I am a younger you' stuff. Spoiled it really.

Redness can’t touch Friedkin. Friedkin wipes the floor with him

Refn should remake Sorcerer,im flawed.

Dare I say it. Sorcerer is a really stupid name for that kind of film and that likely didn't help. I've heard people in the know talk about films tanking for all kinds of reasons, the title being a big one. People may well have thought this was a fantasy film or something.

It's 15 minutes before 9, in Paris...

Wow, it is rare that I have seen such a stupid, arrogant interviewer whose only question seems to be "you thought you were so great, but I want to know how it felt to FAIL!" over and over again. Just let Friedkin speak!

Refn is really rude he interrupted him the whole time. Over asking answered questions. Putting words in his mouth. How rude.Refn is talented in his own right, but he's no Friedkin

He and this guy are friends. He wasn’t being rude. He’s doing a probing interview. Friedkin doesn’t seem to find him rude.
