I'm not an easygoing guy as a director.
My father, John Marcellus Huston, was a director renowned for his adventurous style and audacious nature.
In Hitchcock's eyes the movement was dramatic, not the acting. When he wanted the audience to be moved, he moved the camera. He was a subtle human being, and he was also the best director I have ever worked with.
In 'Windtalkers,' the director John Woo is meticulous in melding his own intimate style into the cliches of a large-scale war movie, paying homage to all the tired conventions of the genre. But it's an honor that these cliches don't deserve.
'Infernal Affairs' uses a vibrating terseness usually found in the writer and director Michael Mann's work. Thematically, this film deploys the techniques Mr. Mann brought to bear on 'Heat,' right down to using a similar cold-blooded electronic score.
A director like Ram Gopal Varma brings out a different dimension in your performance.
I'm an actor's director.
Do you imagine Sergio Leone with a philosophy? Come on! He was a primitive of movies, a great director on set.
Atanu is one of my favourite directors. His script, style of storytelling and characterisation are always very different.
Hitchcock loved long convoluted shots that contained a lot of tracking and camera moves.
Every director has their own unique working style.
I'm Dario Argento, and my style is something recognizable I think by the audience.
That's how I am as a director - if somebody does a really good take, I can't help it, I'm not even aware of it. Actors really, really need positive reinforcement.
For example I don't work with William Hurt the same way that I will work with Viggo. They're different guys and they work in different ways. So a good sensitive director has his general style and technique and personality that he uses but you don't impose that on the actors.
I feel like if you see five films not knowing who made them, you know which one is the Coen Brothers.
There are a lot of directors out there who are very specific, visual craftsmen, and while I have the utmost respect for that, they don't really communicate with the actors.
I think it's very boring for a director to always do the same kind of movies.
I adore Stanley Kubrick, all of his films were different, not just in subject but tonally.
Director Aji John has a style of filmmaking that will surely appeal to all.
John McTiernan, the director, is not Ingmar Bergman. He does action-adventure movies.
Richard Marquand, on Jedi, was very much an actor's director.
You have to nail the right tone because sometimes when you just see his films cold, you're not quite sure. It's the same in - I'm trying to think of other directors with a similar sense - David Lynch's films, Tim's films, some of Cronenberg's stuff.
I am a fan of the monster and horror genre but that's not my style as a director.
As you can probably tell, I like films and directors that bring a totally unique style to filming action.
I'm not a director to make an action or horror film. That's not for me.
