If You Could Live In Any Director's World...

Who would you pick? Someone mentioned this online, and I'll have to think about it, but curious what you all think.

Interesting Matt, but I'm not totally sure what you mean by living in a director's world? Do you mean being in his shoes and having his career?

Initially I thought of a director's movies, but feel free to take it the other way.

I think that's more interesting of the two choices. I'll think about my answer and post back.

Not Tim Burton

I'd love to live in the world of Powell & Pressburger.

Thats a dangerous question. I wonder if this is threadbait to see if Mr Minio would pop in?
Jon Favreaus MARVEL world.

Wes Anderson perhaps.

I think I'd have to go with Anders Thomas Jensen. It may perhaps not be the most pleasant world to live in in every way and may not have the most poetic landscapes, but it would have plenty of darkly funny absurd moments, quirky characters and a unique charm to it.

I'm going to take Director's World to mean any one movie that a director creates a memorable world for. So I would say the world of American Graffiti. Lots of cool cars, hot chicks, great music and everything is more laid back.

I don't know a lot of directors by their work, but for this question I'd say Frank Capra (wasn't he like a king of feel good movies with happy endings)? So I guess I'd like to live in his world.

John Ford and the American West

James Ivory, if I could be some rich English Lord in early to mid 20th century England

Great call. My answer is very close to this when I saw this thread and started formulating an answer to it in my head. I'll post later when I have time to go in depth. Have you done a top 10 films on your profile?

my top 10 westerns and film noir from lettrboxd

https://letterboxd.com/hownos/lists/

Vikramaditya Motwane & Brian De Palma

Well it would be george lucas of course...i would love to live in Howard the duck universe!

David Lynch. Frankly, I feel like I am living in it at times, and at least I’m somewhat used to it, so wouldn’t want to risk making any changes.

I'd find a different insanity in which to partake.
