Cannes loves him. But I don't think he's loved anywhere in America, which is ironic and sad.Vader182 wrote: ↑December 6th, 2018, 8:22 pmI'm mistaken then, but obviously in general we're pretty soft on the guy.Master Virgo wrote: ↑December 6th, 2018, 7:43 pmActually I remembered noticing Z being mentioned quite often in here, so I did a quick check now and plenty here are indeed fans. xWhereAmI?, Nomis, MyCocain, Mindheist, antovolk, elemunt as well as Ruth, who sort of liked it, and a couple of more members.£
is gray really liked anywhere? a lot of industry people think there's an emperor's new clothes situation around him, except there's a decent sized group who think he's a genius
i like Z quite a lot btw, but the idea that its brilliant strikes me as strange. each their own.

Ad Astra (2019)
Lost City of Z definitely is one of the best films of last year, but I think I might've listed it in 2016. There were some things unclear with that. Anyway, I loved that film.

James Gray did an interview, where he talks a little bit about it : https://thefilmstage.com/features/james ... einvented/
We Own The Night, The Immigrant, and The Lost City of Z are all quite good. Those are his movies that I've seen, and he's 3/3 for me.

Some exciting words/teasing from Max Richter in a interview recently : http://www.filmmusicmag.com/?p=19207
I don’t know if it’s multiplex or not, but I am I’m doing a film called “Ad Astra,” which is a really good. It’s a sci-fi for people who like “2001” and “Solaris,” which, which is me! It’s a movie that’s very beautiful and offers tremendous opportunities for music. It’s also very emotional film that’s full of big ideas and it’s fun.

Personally I really liked The Lost City of Z. I could swear I even voted for it when we had our film awards or something

One of the producers of the film talked a little bit about it during a panel at the Comic Con in Brazil, he said that it will have some 2001 and Apocalypse Now vibes : https://gente.ig.com.br/cultura/2018-12 ... xeira.html
And he gave some little interesting story details (however it's not in English).
Brad Pitt is apparently very amazing in it.
And a new interview by James Gray, he talks a little bit about it at the end : https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... i9e3FxoK9k
He looks very proud and very optimistic/confident about it, it's great to hear that.

Spoilers if you don't want to know
Z was visually stunning but lacked many of the elements which made the book great. Hunnam was miscast af
