It’s time for Staff Picks from your Movies that Make Us crew and thismonth, we each selected a Director with offbeat, unique, and interestingpoints of view/films.Tracy discussed three films from the library of Darren Aronofsky: TheFountain, The Wrestler, and Black Swan. Three very different films, but stillwork together in excellent character development and cinematography.Jake selected Tim Burton and discusses Edward Scissorhands, BatmanReturns, and Corpse Bride. Jake talks about how these three films showthe depth and reach of Burton’s library, but each has his distinctiveflourishes. Val selected Robert Rodriguez and took a slightly differentapproach and discusses the different phases of his film library. From hisindependent work on El Mariachi and From Dusk to Dawn and moving intoSpy Kids and his work as a producer, and then into his short films withDemi Lovato, Lady Gaga, and as the director of her favorite episode of theMandolorian.What are your thoughts on these directors? Next week, it’s the start ofMarch Madness as we take on films that deal with the weird, unusual, andsurprising.
