Profiles and analyses of many of the industry’s most talented and prolific directors give insights into their impact on Hollywood and beyond.
A slate of blockbuster successes – and notable flops – are here discussed, providing insight into the ever-shifting aesthetic of Hollywood’s enormous global audience.
