...but as for David Lean, isn't it true that many people find his work precious and pretentious? And/or deliberately obscure? None of those descriptors appeals to me!I suppose Lawrence could be seen as "enjoyable" and certainly it did not embody the language and situations that make American Pie grotesque (I judge from previews). Nevertheless it was overblown and grandiose, and never captured the subtlety or subtext of its main character.
