Who talked about it

The Big Picture

Came from

What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (pastiche source): Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid ⇒ I'm Not There (the host's read). Haynes styles one segment after Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid and another after Pennebaker, so the film is also different period filmmaking.
    “he styles one whole segment after, you know, Pat Garrett and Noie the Kid.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Elvis,’ ‘Walk Hard’ and Top Five Music Biopics · 1:13:32 · Adam Nayman (0.85 sure it was them)

Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. lineage (spiritual progenitor): Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story ⇒ I'm Not There (the host's read). Todd Haynes's first film, the Barbie-doll Karen Carpenter story, is the progenitor of I'm Not There's foregrounded cliches.
    “a movie that's kind of the spiritual progenitor if I'm not there, which is Superstar, which is the 1st thing Todd Haynes ever made”

The Velvet Underground: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (double bill, auteur): I'm Not There → The Velvet Underground. Both show Haynes's fascination with originating power: where it came from and how pieces assembled into a singular figure or band.
    “the thing that it fascinates him is originating power. It's like, where did this come from and how did it come together?”

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about I'm Not There: A 7-Dylans-in-one film, Todd Haynes is the smartest guy Adam has interviewed; Sean and Adam call it hugely pretentious but says it blows through that.
    “Todd Haynes is in like the 99th percentile of smartness for American filmmakers having interviewed him.”
