Generally, if a director I like makes films with a consistent style/tone that I enjoy, it’s a pretty safe bet that I’m in for a good time. I love everything Villaneuve does, don’t have a Tarantino I don’t like, can’t get enough Panos Cosmatos.
But with Lanthimos, everything he’s made has been consistent with his “style” and I appreciate his humor and cinematic techniques, but each movie has landed pretty different for me.
Maybe that’s not unusual or weird. Just feels like it for me since I usually don’t get that with directors I watch 3+ works from.
What does this mean?
