yeah, but what about before them? i listened to and even posted a link on here to a great interview with him where he discussed an earlier work that sort of piqued my interest and if i recall correctly was a bit more ordinary albeit ultra low budget. not everything is going to be a grand statement; some are bound to be smaller. that doesn't mean there have to be crass commercial appeals in between. a lot of filmmakers fail that way, but then again, at least they tried (to get this money, am i right?).
