Are there any fun examples of acclaimed directors not liking movies by other acclaimed directors?

Are there any fun examples of acclaimed directors not liking movies by other acclaimed directors?

Bonus points if said director doesn't have some kind of bone to pick with the movie/other director.

Pretty sure Hitchcock kept referring to Spielberg as "the fish boy" for the longest time.

Tarkovsky and Bergman both criticized Antonioni

Do the human boys ostracize you at school, kiddo?
Is that why you reee here when you get home?

Spielberg actually hates The Hook, his own movie. But I've never heard of him talking trash about other directors.

“It’s like watching a schoolboy’s fantasy of violence and sex, which normally Quentin Tarantino would be wanking alone to in his bedroom while this mother is making his baked beans downstairs. Only this time he’s got Harvey Weinstein behind him and it’s on at a million screens.”

>Broomfield on Tarantula

pretty harsh and pretty accurate

Herzog criticized Godard as did plenty of others, surprised that a lot of people didn't like him. Isn't he supposed to be one of the greats

lmao

>Isn't he supposed to be one of the greats
Godard is loved by critics because they think praising him will make them look like intellectuals, everyone else hates him, some of them for the right reason.

>Tarkovsky
>Bergman
>Antonioni

LITERALLY WHHOOOOOO!??!?!?!?

>Kubrick is a machine, a mutant, a Martian. He has no human feeling whatsoever. But it’s great when the machine films other machines, as in 2001.”

As one who hasnt seen many Godard movies, I guess my opinion of his movies is that they are mostly about quirky people doing quirky stuff half improvised while being filmed with a handheld camera.

I guess many directors felt that Godard undermined film making into something cheap and gimmicky.

Doesnt help that Godard have high opinions of himself and his films.

Funny since Antonioni was leagues ahead of both.

>Cameron isn’t evil, he’s not an asshole like Spielberg. He wants to be the new De Mille. Unfortunately, he can’t direct his way out of a paper bag. “
Jacques rivette

>Quentin Tarantino seems to be too concerned with other films. I mean, about appropriating other movies, like in a blender. I think it’s, like, really funny at the time I’m seeing it, but then, I don’t know, there’s a void there. Some of the references are flat, just pop culture.”

Korine

Directors Kubrick worshiped.

>[Kubrick to Bergman] You have most certainly received enough acclaim and success throughout the world to make this note quite unnecessary. But for whatever it’s worth, I should like to add my praise and gratitude as a fellow director for the unearthly and brilliant contribution you have made to the world by your films (I have never been in Sweden and have therefore never had the pleasure of seeing your theater work). Your vision of life has moved me deeply, much more deeply than I have ever been moved by any films. I believe you are the greatest film-maker at work today. Beyond that, allow me to say you are unsurpassed by anyone in the creation of mood and atmosphere, the subtlety of performance, the avoidance of the obvious, the truthfullness and completeness of characterization. To this one must also add everything else that goes into the making of a film. I believe you are blessed with wonderfull actors. Max von Sydow and Ingrid Thulin live vividly in my memory, and there are many others in your acting company whose names escape me. I wish you and all of them the very best of luck, and I shall look forward with eagerness to each of your films.

Thanks user, had a lauggh

>Kubrick is a machine, a mutant, a Martian. He has no human feeling whatsoever. But it’s great when the machine films other machines, as in 2001.”

I agree

>there is no human feeling in his films
Is that really a criticism

>Uwe Boll on Michael Bay:
>“I’m not a fucking retard like Michael Bay.”

Top kek

Godard movies are inauthentic shit made by an emotionless French robot.

>inauthentic
Korinefag pls go

lol

>itt people who never watched godard talking about godard
go read a few articles on him at the very least.

...

He's Swiss

>Vincent Gallo on Sofia (and Francis Ford) Coppola:
“Sofia Coppola likes any guy who has what she wants. If she wants to be a photographer she’ll fuck a photographer. If she wants to be a filmmaker, she’ll fuck a filmmaker. She’s a parasite just like her fat, pig father was.”.

is he mad that she didnt fuck him?

Say that to my face fucker not in your diary and see what happens.

Old Godard loves to shit on Young Godard in current interviews, he hates his 60's flicks. He's also senile, and was once a maoist who championed the

Rampage was actually good movie.

??? I've only seen weekend, but I liked it and it has stuck with me ever since (about 10 years). it's not a masterpiece bit it's very different from anything else from that era.

Why is it that the less sucessful directors are the ones that talk the most shit?.

Vincent gallo and kevin smith need to stfu.

Spielberg and kubrick never went around critizing other directors. They didnt need to.

I don't agree with their statements in the slightest but Antonioni only had one good decade

Akira Kurosawa’s Top 100 Films

mubi.com/lists/akira-kurosawas-top-100-films

isn't there a list by Tarkovsky where he shits on a bunch of movies

Whoops, I read that as liking

Tarkovsky also talked trash about Bertolucci.

sounds like a really shitty person

>He is a pleb

wtf i love Tarkovsky now

>Kevin Smtih talking shit about PTA
LMAO

>"We had heard that Milius was a Kurosawa fan, and Kurosawa also had good things to say about his The Wind and the Lion. Milius asked Kurosawa to teach him the martial art of kendo, or Japanese fencing, and did Mifune impersonations, but Godard only sat looking on, smiling, and never spoke to Kurosawa.

>Another unusual visitor was the German director Werner Herzog, whose name was then unfamiliar to Kurosawa. There was a book he wanted to give Kurosawa, said Herzog, but he hadn’t been able to find it in the book store and he had a plane to catch, so he had just dropped by to pay his respects. Then the next day, I think it was, he made a special trip to hand-deliver the book—having gone to the trouble of altering his flight reservations to do so. I believe it was a book of drawings. In any case, Kurosawa found this gesture deeply moving."
Godard is such a sperg. He was part of the circle of faggots who thought Kurosawa was lowbrow and not Japanese enough. It's a shame he outlived all his contemporaries who had more left to say.

>all those Vincent Gallo quotes

The guy is the definition of a hack

Hitchcock died in 1980, so to almost everyone around the world Spielberg was the fish boy

Tarantino disliked Wes Craven, I think. I know he didn't like Scream in particular.

>He loved films. He admired the work of Bergman, Tarkovsky, Bunuel, Spike Lee, Speilberg, the list is long and varied.

>He liked White Men Can't Jump. It was on TV and I asked him if I should watch it, and he said, 'yeah that's a good movie, you'll enjoy it'.

>all these insults for tarantino

nice

Success breeds jealousy.

holy fucking shit

kys

>I'm literally 17 years old and Leafy is epic as hell
Get fucked.

stop bullying Godard

>ywn hang out with Based Akira, Based John and Based Werner and clown on Jean Luc for his autism

Who are you quoting?

I don't know how true it is but I remember hearing that Tarkovsky talked a lot of shit about other directors.

You.

This shit happens way more often in music than film

>10. Spike Lee on Quentin Tarantino (and the “n-word” in his scripts):
>“I’m not against the word, and I use it, but not excessively. And some people speak that way. But, Quentin is infatuated with that word. What does he want to be made — an honorary black man?”

I always like to hear about acclaimed directors talk about how they liked movies from other directors more than them disliking movies.

For example, I could listen to Scorsese talk about movies he enjoys all day.

>He is a pleb

tarkovsky confirmed /our guy/ of all years and all guys

>Burton vs. Smith

lol

>“Think that’s about the Holocaust? That was about success, wasn’t it? The Holocaust is about 6 million people who get killed. ‘Schindler’s List’ is about 600 who don’t. Anything else?”

>21. David Gordon Green on Kevin Smith:

>“He kind of created a Special Olympics for film. They just kind of lowered the standard. I’m sure their parents are proud; it’s just nothing I care to buy a ticket for.”

>Did he actually die not knowing he was a hack?
everytime

I'm glad some of my favorite directors aren't on that list being vitriolic

Spike Lee is on another level compared to his detractors. Clint and Tyler's insults are just, "Hey, shut up."

François Truffaut on Satyajit Ray's Apu Trilogy:

"I don't want to see a movie of peasants eating with their hands."

Based Broomfield

GENIUS IS A POWERFUL WORD BUT THERES NO REASON TO USE IT UNLESS YOURE TALKING ABOUT THE KUBRICK , THEN THERES REALLY NOTHING TO IT

18. Tim Burton on Kevin Smith (after Smith jokingly accused Burton of stealing the ending of Planet of the Apes from a Smith comic book):
“Anyone who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I would especially never read anything created by Kevin Smith.”

19. Kevin Smith on Tim Burton (in response to “I would never read a comic book”):
“Which, to me, explains fucking Batman.”

Holy fucking shit, how could the response be any better?

>Kubrick is a machine, a mutant, a Martian. He has no human feeling whatsoever. But it’s great when the machine films other machines, as in 2001.

Fuck me if this is an insult.That's a huge compliment man.

> Werner Herzog on Jean-Luc Godard:
>“Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung-fu film.”

Based Herzog is completely right

Fuck I was about to post this.Well done Smith, well done.

>I faked the moonlanding, but not this assrape

22. Vincent Gallo on Spike Jonze:
“He’s the biggest fraud out there. If you bring him to a party he’s the least interesting person at the party, he’s the person who doesn’t know anything. He’s the person who doesn’t say anything funny, interesting, intelligent… He’s a pig piece of shit.”

23. Vincent Gallo on Martin Scorsese:
“I wouldn’t work for Martin Scorsese for $10 million. He hasn’t made a good film in 25 years. I would never work with an egomaniac has-been.”

24. Vincent Gallo on Sofia (and Francis Ford) Coppola:
“Sofia Coppola likes any guy who has what she wants. If she wants to be a photographer she’ll fuck a photographer. If she wants to be a filmmaker, she’ll fuck a filmmaker. She’s a parasite just like her fat, pig father was.”

Jesus calm down man.

That's spot on.

>He is a pleb

Every time.

Oh mercy, I should stop reading up on Gotard, least I travel to France and kill him

as much of pure garbage his films are, he's insanely entertaining

looks green

The brown bunny is always a furious one
