The 30 Harshest Filmmaker-on-Filmmaker Insults in History

[Aurelius]

Bergman is spot on. Welles is overrated.

[Addison de Witt]

Vincent Gallo What he said about Sofia Coppola is so disgusting. Also, so rich from him, the biggest fraud ever, to call another director, who actually has talent and a vision, a fraud.

And his quote about Scorsese aged like sour milk lmao

I’d say not Welles but *that* Welles.

:runs:

[guany]

That Welles quote about Minnelli is amazing, lmao.

[WCB]

The Minnelli one feels homophobic to me..

Shame that I only found out about this thread today.

Exactly! I'm surprised by everyone dragging Bergman (deservedly), and very few mentions of Vincent Gallo, who sounds like a complete douchebag by these quotes. A man with his filmography saying Scorsese hasn't done anything good in 25 years is borderline delirious.

[CallMeByYourNamaste]

What does Laz have to say about Welles bashing "The Red Shoes" as being total dreck??

But yeah, all of those quotes from Welles just breathe an air of "I don't like anything" to me.

“But as comfortable as a man walking onto his veranda to greet old friends, Schnabel spoke in a stream-of-consciousness way about his film, others' films, art, whatever crossed his mind. ''You know, I watch a movie like 'Cast Away' and I want to, like, commit hara-kiri,'' he said. ''The dumb lobby, the money lobby -- there are companies that would rather make one dumb movie for $200 million rather than 20 $10 million movies that might have some meaning.''

Well, let me even things out by saying that Vincent Gallo is a waste of sperm, and him calling anyone else an "egomaniac has-been" is the ultimate case of projection.

[Jali]

Reading "My lunches with Orson", just 3 or 4 pages and he already destroys Spencer Tracy, Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Woody Allen and Laurence Olivier.

[Mrs Gert Hammond]

Francois Truffaut is reported to have said about Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali 'I don't want to see a movie of peasants eating with their hands'.
