Any director can use New York City, Los Angeles, London, Paris, etc as a background setting for a film - but there are a handful of directors who truly feel a certain city, and can portray dozens of different stories using the unique aura of that city.
From the directors whose works I am (relatively) familiar with, I would list: Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese for New York City (Allen for "Jewish" NYC and Scorsese for "Italian" NYC); Paul Thomas Anderson for Los Angeles; François Truffaut for Paris; Federico Fellini for Rome; and Wong Kar-wai for Hong Kong.
Which directors do you see as identifying with a specific city, and faithfully portraying the underlying personality of that city?
For example, I think Tarantino has fallen into this trap ever since his longtime editor Sally Menke died. I still enjoy his work but it doesn't feel as polished as it used to be. Once Upon A Time was good but I remember thinking that at times it felt a bit aimless and overly long. It would have been a lot better with like 15 minutes shaved off.
Or Zack Snyder's upcoming Justice League. I'm glad that he's getting to do it because the whole story behind why he had to leave the project originally was so deeply tragic for him on a personal level (his daughter passed away) but come on, a FOUR-HOUR runtime? That's absolutely insane. Endgame was already pushing it at 3 hours and they only did that because it was basically the big climax of the entire franchise.
Peter Jackson seems to have learned from this finally because his WW1 documentary was only 90 minutes. He's a fantastic director but I really, truly did not think he was capable of making anything less than 2 1/2 hours long lol.
Just shows how much WB and Whedon completely ruined this film, why did they skip out so many character defining moments? The character development was incredible and they weren't just shoehorned in like the the theatrical cut.
Getting rid of the dialogue that makes no sense like Clark asking the human Batman if he bleeds, what?! So glad they reworked a lot of the scenes that were clearly the work of someone other than Snyder.
Feel like they rushed this movie out, it bombed and Zack Snyder took all the blame for it, it's nice to see his redemption, Man of Steel is probably my favorite DC film and I knew he wouldn't just change the characters and make them terrible like the theatrical cut portrayed.
I seriously hope we see an Injustice movie like the ending hinted at, to do away with all this now would be such a waste.
I didn't expect "M. Butterfly" from David Cronenberg and even though the film was panned and largely forgotten, David Cronenberg is still fond of it. He even referred to "M. Butterfly" as being among his best work.
Possible Spoilers
"M. Butterfly", I greatly enjoyed it, though I can see why some take issue with the film. For one, the public didn't understand Song Liling (John Lone) wasn't meant to be passable as a woman. The film was about a closeted man (Jeremy Irons) who was in denial about his sexual orientation so he used his relationship with Song Liling as a way to alleviate his homosexual desires while still maintaining the illusion of heterosexuality.
I like when directors go out of their comfort zone and give us something we'd never expect. John Carpenter and "Starman" is another example.

> I was so keen to bring the musicals of Jagga Jasoos to the public domain but Disney did not agree. There were so many legal issues and such red tapism that it left me frustrated. This remains as a big regret in my heart. Double kudos to Arijit and Guneet for making this happen.

> And love to the film's producer Guneet for setting a new trend of giving the film's music rights to the creator to exploit, instead of selling it for a paltry amount to any audio company. Hope this is a new beginning for the music industry. Cheers to Guneet and Arijit.

If this succeeds, will domination of T series end? Will it be new era of quality music? Or will the ownership change and issues of quality remain the same?
The new Face/Off movie is a direct sequel to the original, not a reboot.
Godzilla vs Kongβs Adam Wingard was just announced to be directing Face/Off, but heβs clarified that it isnβt a reboot at all.
Wingard didnβt reveal how the new movie will continue Face/Offβs story, but could Nicolas Cage and John Travolta return now?
The real Castor Troy seemingly died at the end of the original, but the sequel could reveal heβs alive in order to bring Cage back.
Sean Archer survived and got a happy ending, so Travoltaβs return could be easy.

Conspiracy theorists might be insane but holy crap, I gotta give credit to them for how creative, complex and interesting their theories are. The entertainment industry definitely needs them, especially with the growing concerns about how they're lacking creativity. Idk what you guys think but I think it's a tad better than marginalising them.
