I have many favourite film directors but he deserve a special mention. Known as the "flop movie director" as often happens, he is just too mentally far for being comprehended. The only oversea member of the iconic Monty Python his movies as director are milestones in cinema and he represents a complete artist since he often write or sketch. This means being big pictured.
