Jonathan Glazer
Started by making pop videos, always a red flag for me. First movie was Sexy Beast (2000) with great interplay between Ben Kingsley and Ray Winstone. Brit gangster movies were all the rage at that time. This was one of the best.
Followed up with Birth (2004), which sounded embarrassing, and Under the Skin (2013) which was well reviewed but I found unwatchable. There is an interminable sequence near the start where she cruises the streets of Glasgow looking for victims. Did anyone else think this was stolen from Taste of Cherry (1997)?
Glazer is 52 now. Too old to be an enfant terrible.
