QT looks like he has down syndrome

​@@nolanchoI do. That's enough for you?

​@@nolanchodickhead

So ridiculous… one of my fav movies of all time that literally nobody even knows exists

​@@NahhhhhhsonI don't think you know what literally means

@@Nahhhhhhsonliterally nobody

Everyone is amazing in that movie. Even David Caruso is fking great and I usually find him insufferable but he crushed it here. I screened it for my friend who’s a big Scarface and gangster film fan and he’d never seen it and he was blown away.

Loved it. Whoever cast it was genius. So many faces I knew from Miami Vice to Near Dark & Apocalypse. So much goodness.

Definitely Ms. 45 for Kill Bill, though

Listen to the Rewatchable podcast “king of New York”. So many good stories he tells

Totally, its a truly masterful mix of horror movie exploitation and an art house documentation of the 90's lower east side junkie scene.

King of New York is A+

The Addiction is pretty good, he is doing very interesting films lately too.

​@@sabojezlesyeah go watch Siberia william dafoe is the main very good film

Yeah, he has never stopped pushing the limits and doing new things with digital. 4:44 is great, New Rose, The addiction, Blackout, zeroes and ones... I wonder what's the opinion of Quentin on Ferrara's arthouse movies.

They are more interesting than good. If you want quality digital cinema, Ferrara isn't the person to go to.

You gotta look into old Jamie Gillis movies like Water Power

Ferrara has a great sense of authenticity. Great use of location that you have rarely seen in cinema. Bad Lieutenant and The Funeral are fantastic films and just as good as Quentin. Besides he should be the one to talk about never rising above exploitation

@@aleksandarpesic1412to me Funeral is THE best gangster film ever…the best one EVER!

@@roderickstockdale1678 I am always enchanted with Goodfellas when it comes on and it's a great film to watch with friends. I need to watch The Funeral again have not seen it in donkeys years

@@roderickstockdale1678 I see you likeThe Deer Hunter. Massive cult film in Serbia where I grew up. It has a sadness about it that we understand well. Cimino's Year Of The Dragon I love too he was great at his peak

@@aleksandarpesic1412 me too, I used to have the dvd and I say next to Angel Heart and Body Heat(I haven’t seen all of his films) that was one of his best performances.

Who do you think would win in a fist fight?

Actually Scorsese represented little Italy where he grew up.

@@roderickstockdale1678 Yeah I can see that. Man had many...'connections'. 🤌😤

That’s how it became immortal, it’s a cult classic!

I remember 1990 *Dodgers were up 3-0

"Go where? Where are you going to go? There's no one like you left."

Encyclopedic knowledge maybe but his interests lie in the violence/horror/exploitation genres of which occupy most of his career in filmmaking

@@TheBadLieutenant right? that dancing & singing scene is the best!

@@TheBadLieutenant yes exactly. So im curious, given your profile name you obviously like the BAD Lieutenant film. Did you ever see Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New orleans? Apparently the studio had the rights to the name or something, buts its a totally different story although the main protagonist is similar. But The lieutenant is played by Nic Cage and the film is directed by Werner Herzog, and its actually really really well done and dirty and funny and heartbreaking, like Ferraras Original work. You should check it out if you havent seen it. I also Loved Ferraras biopic of Pasolini with William Dafoe.

Me too. These are the sweet spot right here. FEAR CITY is my favorite movie of all time!

@@scottruhl4710 I love Fear city , watched it multiple times. One of Ferrara's best movies.

Love the scenery, the cinematography and the score-true 80s artwork!

even Affliction?

that, and The Blackout

The Funeral (1996)

@@timgreenglassMY favorite and favorite gangster movie of all time after Once Upon A Time In America.

Gangster #1. That was really good. I haven't seen mention of that since I saw it when it was new in theatres.

An inclusion for me is Once Upon A Time In America.

Dude I watched Sexy Beast for the first time recently and I can't believe how much it's fallen off everybody's radar during the past several years.

@@roderickstockdale1678toooooo long!

@@garywashington6757 so is Godfather, but MORE epic!

Really interesting take, I agree.

I think this comment while very intelligent far underestimated the intellectualism inherent to independent and even exploitation cinema, and also the intuition of pensive directors like Scorsese. We don’t truly know their processes to speak so conclusively on them

It's obvious... All of the above what you mentioned is basically the whole point of independent cinema. Scorsese brought this to a new level and subverted the idea to combine the unhinged filmmaking of independent movies with more empathy for the audience. Therefore he's one of the greats to keep the aspiration in more mass appealing movie ideas. There's never enough praise for the whole New Hollywood era.

No, Cassavetes was far more subtle and restrained than Ferrera, as he didn't dabble excessively in needless T&A. Ferrera is more like Paul Verhoeven but without the sense of humor or cleverness.

To me, he's more like Martin Scorsese without the talent.

If you've ever watched an interview with Abel Ferrara, especially a recent one, I don't think Ferrara would have much patience for Tarantino's personality.

Not a remake, but sequel

@@padzzz9377 Yes you are right

Bad lieutenant in my opinion, is one of the best/most underrated movies of all time… also one of my favorites

well said

@@Nahhhhhhson I remember when that film came out, and even though I wasn't a film culture nerd yet, I still became part of that seeker community that was trying to track down an NC-17 VHS copy. It took years to find one at a video store and a few years more before I could buy one. So for that reason, I refused (and continue to refuse) to sell my VHS copy.

And New Rose Hotel. It’s confusing but the style in that film is so alluring and magical.

@@Theomite the original Artisan dvd(if you can find it online) was too.

Abel hates it, in the running commentary he said the movie was silly and he wouldn't make it now but it has a cult following.

which movie does Abel Ferrara mean?? I think I like Bad Lieutenant the most.@@tonymontana4284

I think the cinematography of it is really good but the script drags it down to being just a decent film imo. With a better script it could have been a classic and not just a cult movie. I quite like some of the goofiness of it, it gives it personality, but there isn't much plot or character development at all, so you're just left with the style.

​@sweetpeaches6957 Fishburne and Walken really carry the movie.

@@BrokeSpike I agree yeah

Ferrara plus the infeetuation

Tarantino minus the talent.

​@@NostalgiNordenNot Tarantino and not a collage artist.

is it self infatuation or does he just like movies? Sometimes people can have a more laid back style and people think that's humbleness but he more measured person is really less humble beach they guard their words and how cool they look. Tarantino is such a spas that there's a humbleness , maybe the wrong word, but definitely a sincerity to it rather than self aggrandizing.

​@@NostalgiNordenYou said it, partner.

Classic

I love both of their early films of the 70s and 80s SO MUCH and care so little about anything they did after that

@@derkeheath5172 it's your lost, he might be doing more "niched" and personal stuff, but his unpredictable impact is still there

Well-said. And despite their talents, both filmmakers struggles with making films outside of their aesthetic comfort zones. When De Palma tried to branch out with "Bonfire of the Vanities", he came up short because it wasn't a "Brian De Palma film." Same thing when Abel made "The Addiction" and "The Funeral."

Great comparison… both directors try way too hard to make their work appear edgy and subversive and the end result are films that are just painfully corny. Grittiness just does not work if it’s too on the nose, and I actually feel my nose being physically bludgeoned whenever I watch a movie by these guys. Both directors are overrated all to hell too. That being said, Blowout is a great movie.

They're not overrated. In fact it's the opposite lmao. They did so much for the whole art form. Think about that.

Pow não é esse, cara!

I’m going to start watching his work. He’s actually underrated

Go back to sleep. Gratutious violence is the MSG of film, it makes bland stuff good and good stuff even better.

if done right (like ferrara, unlike most others), it accentuates the drama. personally, i prefer his psychological films more, but he does violence with excellent style

He was a porn director turned junkie trying to masquerade as an artist.

Interesting point,but I'm sure lotsa people could say that about many,many pictures.Thanks

....incidentally,never got to see a trailer,but I think the film's something special

....incidentally,never got to see a trailer,but I think the film's something special.

Then why’s it got such a way greater following from before Funeral was made?

Great films just from different eras and different worlds

@@roderickstockdale1678 cuz most of the following for king of New York are idiots in the hip hop scene that know nothing about story telling, or good films. Also most people haven’t seen the funeral. Your also falling for the logical fallacy that popularity is quality - it isn’t.

wow that’s such a hot take

💯 💶 💯

​@@olegfare4625You tell him, Olga!

I agree

Lol so true

Ummmm? No..

@@YourService79oh yes he is. I can name at least 5-10 Abel movies that I would prefer over Tarantino best and not saying that Tarantino doesn’t have a good film or anything but Ferrara is more interesting

Lol. Nope.

@@NostalgiNorden yes. easily

Believe it or not: EVRYTHING is subjective. You CAN'T have a fully objective opinion on any movie
