Barry Jenkins’s Closet Picks

Finally someone did what every fan would've done. Just take EVERYTHING!

"This is a bit overwhelming; there's too much good shit here..."

I wanna get Scorsese in here so we can get a 14 hour video of him going through every film in the closet.

"This embarrassing. This is really embarrassing..." Love for cinema is not embarrassing, Barry. We'd have gone insane too in that closet.

"ok i'm done, ok i'm done..." grab the complete Tati set so funny !!

FUN FACT: Damien Chazelle thought he was supposed to be here and was already with a bag but then there was a mix-up since they actually intended to get Barry Jenkins originally.

0:07 THE APU TRILOGY - Sayyajit Ray. “I can’t even describe how good this series is.” 0:16 WEEKEND - Andrew Haigh. "“Love this movie.” 0:25 FIVE FILMS - John Cassavetes. “Foundational” 1:05 LA HAINE - Matthieu Kassovitz. “When I was in film school this was the film… you got together on a Sunday afternoon, you drank a few beers and you watched this over and over.” 1:22 RATCATCHER - Lynne Ramsay. “The first criterion I ever owned.” 1:44 GEORGE WASHINGTON - David Gordon Green. “The second criterion I ever owned.” 2:26 RASHOMON - Akira Kurasawa. “I’ve seen this too many times, but, out of respect for the form, I can never see it too many times.”

I'm jealous of Jenkins for getting his choice of Criterion films, but I'm jealous of Criterion because they get to hang out with such a brilliant director.

Man Berry Jenkins seems like the calmest and nicest dude ever. Seems like the perfect guy to hang out with

3:12 -- Every Criterion Collector when they come home from a Barnes & Noble Criterion sale.

like a kid in a candy store

I love how he owned his greediness. Fucking earned those and the nominations he got today. Shine Moonlight. Shine.

Jenkins is the best. I like how he acknowledges that he's just taking a little TOO much but then just can't help himself. I would have grabbed those boxsets too. Apu, Tati, Demy, amazing stuff.

Come on people, it's out of respect for the form. Respect for the form...

He's like a child in a candy store. This video made me smile all the way through
