  He's a very diverse & talented director, IMHO.

  Other Directors I hold in high regard to a greater or lesser degree for their auteurship (i.e., based on a variety of factors that I'm pretty sure critics, both professional and armchair, would not be in universal accord):

  FW Murnau
  Terry Gilliam
  Erick Von Stroheim
  Charles Chaplin
  John Huston
  Fritz Lang
  Orson Welles
  Paul Verhooven
  Josef Von Sternberg

  ...etc., omitting the aforementioned Peter Jackson, Stephen Spielberg, Janes Cameron, Ridley Scott and numerous deserving European and Asian directors. Obviously this is an incomplete list, but a nice cross section.

  PS: I would've posted this earlier, but the board was apparently down (?) and unavailable for posting for several hours.

    • Why is it worse to have a fresh "young adult" perspective than a closed minded coprolitic old fart's "tunnelvision"? - Audiophilander 13:31:57 02/03/04 (2)

      Oh, I forgot, you like Tarkovsky's Solaris! (grin) BTW, your stubborn opinions are still too fresh to be coprolitic. ;^)

        • Well, there's such a thing as "maturing" & then there's over ripe, going to seed & rotting on the vine! - Audiophilander 14:27:03 02/03/04 (0)

          Often your withering opinions seem to reflect the latter more than the former, but I suspect that even decaying cinematic compost has some value in nurturing the passion and growth of fresh visionary art. ;^)
