First things first, obviously very happy to find this place. I thought it’d be good to have an initial director discussion thread.
Personally David Fincher and Darren Aaronofsky — I can watch their films time and time again. I’m currently watching The Whale for the second time and I think it’s one of the most powerful movies I’ve ever seen.
Looking forward to hearing from the community.
Christopher Nolan blew my mind with his films
Very much looking forward to Oppenheimer, agreed — Tennet received a mixed response but I thought the subject hadn’t been tackled in that way before.
Yeah Tenet I think had a very cool concept but it was just hard to follow with all the audio issues and the super fast pacing taking you from scene to scene with various one off characters
Did they fix the audio issues? I remember in the cinema not being able to hear things properly. I think the fast pacing was on purpose, probably hard to follow on purpose?
I don’t think they ever fixed it since it would mean having to remix the audio to balance it well. If I rewatched it I’d rely on the subtitles.
Regarding the pacing maybe so? I just felt like I needed more time to have some of the concepts sink in a bit. I think inception did a much better job of doing that than tenet but idk
