I suspect that Nathan Fielder is a hero to many of us on here… but the finale of The Rehearsal S2 made me cry so much for some reason!!! I really think he is a genius and his work will be increasingly important as we continue to deal with the microsociological mess of online self presentation, Covid generations and losing yourself to the bit.
It’s always crushing but affirming to be reminded that you are in fact a bit socially... inept…But it’s ok.
While I’m here let me say that Finding Frances is one of the most moving pieces of media I’ve ever seen!!!!!!!!! And The Rehearsal took all of those ideas and fleshed them out so deeply and emotionally. He is so profoundly humanistic in all of his work despite the complete cartoonishly artifical concept he sets up for every one of his “schemes.“ Truly a genius and one of the best of our times

I think Kaufman is a genius but a lot of his stuff is pretty terrifying. Synecdoche, New York is my favourite but even that I struggle to rewatch.
*ITOET* has such a keen eye for all the scariest parts of ageing, getting old, losing the chance to start over... I'm not sure I could ever watch it again. Not for a long time, at least.

i just really think everyone should watch his body of work and talk about him more.

This man has been publicly slugging it out with his humanity and spirituality in what he writes and directs his whole career. And making some profound art in the process. His declaration here chokes me up. I’m glad he’s finally finding some peace in this life.

Real swag comes at the cost of some beauty. you know?
And that’s ultimately where real beauty is anyways
