Maverick Motherfuckers of Film

[Sam]

#23 Christopher Doyle

This is a superb interview that serves as an introduction or reminder of this genius of light. A lot of music, media and film is so sanitised these days, everyone's fucking 'media trained'. I love Doyle's attitude which is basically the earned and deserved supreme confidence to do whatever the fuck he likes, not care who he pisses off and let his work (prolific, stunningly, consistently beautiful)[nb]Sorry to drag him into this but his persona is the exact opposite of Gervais, who is terrified of letting the work speak of itself and spouts PR of the utmost hypocrisy and creepy disingenuousness.[/nb] speak for itself.

Which other mavericks are there in the film business these days?

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

Damon Lindeloff. He doesn't care what anyone thinks of his scripts.

[Van Dammage]

Seijun Suzuki.

Loved this interview with Martin Sheen about getting the part for Badlands.
