The video accompanies Goth’s cover appearance in i-D 377, “The Mother Issue,” and fits neatly with a career built less around a conventional star-making plan than an instinct for unusual filmmakers and strange, demanding material. i-D notes that she skipped drama school, learned on the job beginning with Lars von Trier and has since become a recurring presence in modern arthouse cinema.
Rather than turning the feature into a tidy “top ten,” Film i-Cons asks better questions. Goth is prompted to name the movie that had the most profound impact on her, the directors who most influenced her view of cinema, the film she has watched most often, a movie she expected to dislike but ended up loving, and the three titles that best explain her taste.

It is a much more revealing way into somebody’s taste than simply asking for “favorites.” The answers are really about what Goth notices in movies: fearlessness, atmosphere, performance, music, repeated viewing and those films that quietly recalibrate how an actor understands the job.
And with a filmography that runs from Nymphomaniac and Suspiria through High Life, Infinity Pool, the X trilogy and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, hearing what sits inside Goth’s own movie brain is rather irresistible. The selections may be personal, but the through-line makes sense: filmmakers with a point of view, performances that leave a bruise and cinema that refuses to behave politely.
Exactly the kind of film-school detour we prefer: no syllabus, no lecture hall — just Mia Goth pulling titles from the mental shelf and explaining why they stayed there.
