Philip Kaufman

What makes a Philip Kaufman film a Philip Kaufman film

Across 8 films, they run somewhat more ambiguity and somewhat more cerebral than films in general. Their films vary about as much as any director’s do, so this is an average rather than a template.

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.
