John Sayles has been the most consistently decent film maker I have witnessed, as far as a director's body of work goes. I've never seen a terrible, mediocre, or half assed John Sayles production. His themes are deep rooted, often political, and usually on the side of drama, but his offerings also have a lot of subtle humor and heart. Sayles' pictures will take a very small portion of a much larger story and focus in on topics that may seem labored with their general premise, but soon explode into a bouquet of rich characters and writing once the viewer has decided to engage a small level of devotion to Sayles' own commitment to the film.
This thread will attempt to discuss, in some depth, the films of John Sayles.
