He is rather old-fashioned in this respect. The stylistic elements he plays with really feel quite disposable from the director's point of view in that he merely employs them to task - with the plot cleaving through the middle - but isn't attached beyond the project. In this I find a building confidence and versatility that _should_ mean we'll see his real imprint emerge with time. If he were to shoot a black & white detective drama I think he would nail the tone and make it interesting, if restrained; thankfully, as we already have one Tarantino. Refn also gets very good marks from cast and crew, who seem quite happy to be dragged out of their comfort zones. I wonder if he will be as versatile AND as demanding as Herzog?D.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01291005618911349700noreply@blogger.com
