Don Michael Paul

What makes a Don Michael Paul film a Don Michael Paul film

Across 12 films, they run much less existential weight, much less intimacy and much less cerebral than films in general. Their films resemble each other far more than any 12 films picked at random would, which is what makes one recognisable before anybody says who directed it.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
