5:42 “The Marvel nonsense...” Sean with 2 Marvel posters right behind him: 🙂

I just watched the movie. I thought it was great. More accessible than his other movies for a wider audience. I heard some younger guys complaining as I left but I think they probably assumed it was a normal action movie and doubt they'd seen his earlier films. My favourite part of the movie were the stunning visuals and cinematography including making great use of the beautiful and often harsh landscapes.

I’ve watched a lot of Northman interviews with Eggers, and have been struck by how many of the same questions he’s been asked, and how in many of those interviews he appeared pretty disinterested. This was, by far, the most informative and excellent interview of his I’ve seen for this film. You guys asked unique and interesting questions, and it’s immediately obvious that Eggers was much happier about participating in this versus others. Well done!
-
The way he talks about film making is always so interesting to listen to.
-
Great conversation! Focus Features produced The Northman, not A24
-
The movie is great! It is not for everyone but is very mythological and suspenseful like most of Egger's work. Some scenes are breathtaking.
-
Wow, what a film!! Not only is it Eggars' BEST film to date, but a TRUE cinematic masterpiece
-
Robert Eggers strikes me as a straight-up genius. Such a smart, interesting artist. I’m a huge fan!
-
you guys suriously act like I were having an interview with Eggers and I mean that in the best way possible! great questions.
-
THIS MOVIE IS ON PAR WITH SPARTACUS, ZULU, BEOWULF AND GLADIATOR. IT WAS A BEAST
-
Great interview! These types of interviews make me think more on framing & the volume of ratios at one's grasp. Gona pre-order the CD & Vinyl for the score. Definitely want to go to a Discussion/Q&A of both Robert Eggers & David Lowery discussing the craft, favorite films of theirs, geeking out on tech stuff and on The Green Knight & The Northman.
-
This was a great interview - wish it was longer! Thanks for putting this together. Incredible film by the way - go see it at the cinema!
-
He’s confident and i can understand that it can comes across like arrogance. Trust me you need such will in this industry. I don’t think mentioning NOLAN was a careful move, not that nolan cares (i mean the man doesn’t have a cell phone). But in the twitter rage era and co i don’t know… Robert is an author, I’ll definitely experience it on a big screen. Thank you guys for bringing this super informative interview!
-
I love listening to Robert Eggers' thought process when he makes a film and love everything he has done so far. I would love to know what his next project will be.
-
Thank you!! Finally some asks actually interesting questions!! .. Eggers has a fascinating mind but all the same dumb questions must drive him crazy because they definitely have that effect on me!!
-
One of the best films of 2022! Just watched again. It’s perfect
-
Ha I've watched like 5 hours of interviews and I'm entertained! How long is the movie? This is a good interview, you guys are good and I've seen a few (dozen or so) last couple of days.
-
I disagree on his take on Nolan's IMAX aspect ratio changes. I love that Nolan has decided to film select scenes in IMAX in order to make it more immersive. When I watch his blu rays at home and the AR changes to cover the whole TV screen i absolutely love it. Not many directors keep the IMAX scenes in home media so I really appreciate it,
-
Good choice of subjects/questions, very interesting listen.
-
The Northman is a GREAT film. Eggers is obviously intent on forging his own path. I hope he has at least 25-30 years of making HIS movies.
