I usually give three names instead of one: Denis Villeneuve, Guillermo del Toro, and David Lynch. It feels like each of them represents a different side of what I love about film. Villeneuve is all about the physical world—space, scale, and atmosphere. Del Toro is the emotional one, finding warmth and heartbreak in the most unlikely places. Lynch is the psychological side, making films that feel more like dreams or memories than "straightforward" stories. Between the three of them, it's pretty much everything I look for in cinema.
