Robert Eggers on THE NORTHMAN commentary: “I really hate this. Alex & Annie are really great & the music is lovely so I think it does work. But this first shot is like a bad ripoff of a moment in Andrei Rublev that pales in comparison so I’m ashamed... show more

I recommend the whole director’s commentary to The Northman. No one is more critical of their work than Robert Eggers, he’s too fucking funny.
Hot take: Eggers is being too hard on himself. Tarkovsky's shadow is long. Anyone making historical cinema wrestles with Andrei Rublev. The shot works.
Agreed 🤝
Cheers. That shot earns its place.
Love how he blames nobody but himself.
Yeah lol I do disagree with him, I think it’s a cool little homage to Tarkovsky.
It's nice to include little tributes here and there.
I think Eggers is being too hard on himself. It's a great movie
Yeah I don’t agree with him at all about the lack of the imagination or it not comparing
There is only one person who saw Andrei Rublev, saw that scene in The Northman, made the connection and then resented Robert Eggers for it... and that's Robert Eggers
No one hates Robert Eggers’ directing more than Robert Eggers
Even Ingmar Bergman considered himself inferior to Andrei Tarkovsky in trying to use the language of cinema.
My favorite part of that commentary is when he says the firewood looks too modern
as a perfectionist myself i completely agree with him. but as a fan man he needs to chill
Eggers is so funny man, I love him.
andrei rublev one of the best
His commentary for the VVitch is also so great lol
Robert Eggers is a Tarkovsky fan?!? I’ve only seen The VVitch, but it makes sense.
@DumbassJamez It doesn't even feel like the same shot lmaoo.. why does he so ashamed about it. Then there is Tarantino who takes so proud on himself for ripping off from other movies
He hates himself 😭😭
😭😭
Good for him for sharing the lookbook details
Nothing to be ashamed of, bit I know what he means. He doesn't add to it anything that would justify its inclusion.
Au moins reste-t-il lucide
A little self doubt goes a long way. It does work.

![🎥| “Well, for starters, it's not the first time I've heard a story like that, you know, of people kind of being inspired to work in the industry. Um, and I think that's really cool, you know. I've always been a big believer that the more fans that work in the music industry, the better for the music and the better for everyone, really. You know, they're definitely the most passionate people. Um, you know, especially the likes of like managements or record labels, these kind of opinions are vital. [Fan: We live it, like, quite literally.] Absolutely, absolutely, yeah. There's not really, you know, it's not about kind of guessing, it's, like you say, you guys kind of live that life. So, I think it's really, really important, it's really cool that it seems to be happening more and more, um, which I think is great. Um, in terms of the relationship with the fans, something I really, really cherish. it's a really funny thing, you know, when you've grown up together, but that ‘together’ to me is, you know, a decent chunk of people. It's a funny concept to me, really, in general. But I feel very, very lucky to have it, and I feel really—I think I've always felt quite protective over my fans as well, and I think... that is a nature of kind of growing up together, you know? I feel like we've got each other's back like that. [Fan: I feel like you have a unique relationship with your fans that is not common amongst artists today, so we really appreciate that, the effort you put in and the care.] I like to, yeah, I like to think so. I mean, I feel very, very blessed that wherever I am, you know, wherever I am, there's a certain kind of level of support and passion, you know? And that... there's a friend, exactly, that's lovely.” via Jesslyn Downey](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2076289750135099537/amplify_video_thumb/2076289681059123200/img/d08FOkXo9S1IdUN8.jpg)

Pure & Proper Proper 41 The best looking & smelling bad weed I’ve had in a long time. When I say this is bad, I mean really bad. Absolutely no terp translation, and the smoke is so harsh that you don’t even want to inhale it. Smells & looks like some of the best 41 ever.

![More of Harry about Aperture “The reason why it's called Aperture is like, you control how much light you let in to your life. And I think the start of this year, I kind of just decided I was going to say yes to everything. And the momentum of that has just brought, like, so many positive things in a lot of different ways into my life. And it's been a really beautiful time in my life. And I think also, just when I would play people the music, it was always the song that I played first. […] I want to say and where I'm at in my life. And I think there's nothing more fulfilling, I think, as a musician than putting out a song that you feel like represents where you're at in your life. I think sometimes, you know, you write a song and by the time it comes out, you've kind of been through a bunch of things, and you're not really kind of aligned with necessarily what is happening in the song. And I think I really felt it when we put As It Was at or I felt like, “oh, I feel like this really represents where I'm at in this moment” and that felt really fulfilling. So I think kind of I wanted to do that again this time. And just I feel great about, like, pressing play and going like, I want to play something. And that's kind of why it ended up being the first song.” - 102.7 KIIS FM](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2014721753235231178/amplify_video_thumb/2014721694422704130/img/Lklt3aVp6mIoPoF3.jpg)
