Buğra talks about looking at directors and actors next.
I'd really like to see whether directors or writers have a bigger impact on quality of films. Like a smallish number of critics, including Pauline Kael, I'm deeply suspicious of the auteur theory that everyone kind of unquestioningly accepts.
“A filmgoer seeking out pictures written by, say, Eric Roth or Charlie Kaufman won’t always see a masterpiece, but he’ll see fewer clunkers than he would following even a brilliant director like John Boorman, or an intelligent actor like Jeff Goldblum. It’s all a matter of betting on the fastest horse, instead of the most highly touted or the prettiest.” - David Kipen
