He has that X factor that a lot of modern high budget films seem to be missing. That sense of presence and urgency. Possibly due to tighter narratives and sticking to his creative guns? Either way there is absolutely a beautifully distinctive fingerprint there in his work.
Totally deserved. Not only is he amazing at original content but he's even amazing at producing sequels to cult classics that, under normal circumstances, fans wouldn't be happy with regardless.
I still can't believe he pulled off a sequel to Blade Runner.

Arrival came out at a time when I needed it. It released the week Donald Trump had just won the 2016 election and my spirits were at an all time low.
I remember walking out of the theater in tears. Movie was absolutely incredible and its themes really resonated with me.

But next year we get Tenet from Nolan! His decade run will be Inception, Interstellar, DKR, Dunkirk, Tenet! I actually love Denis' output and he does edge out Nolan.

I really don't care for Interstellar or TDKR at all. He had to win me back with Dunkirk.

If he hadn't gotten bafflingly put in director jail after the success of Gone Girl, I'd say David Fincher did great things with The Social Network, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and Gone Girl.
Idk but the writing he gets for his movies has been outstanding.
I think it's his creativity. See Sicario versus the pretty lackluster sequel. Denis is just inspired. Who the hell makes a sequel to a cult hit and possibly even one ups it? I think Prisoners might be his best. It's one of the best thrillers I've seen, but also manages to be a pretty good character piece for both Jackman and Gyllenhal. All the characters are well realized. Maybe that's his gift, making characters that the audience can relate to, that the audience can engage with.
Yea he's got something.....

It sucks that he had to go to Netflix to get his next feature made.
That he was able to make a sequel to Blade Runner that respected a GOAT film , added new things to the world, fleshed out the world we knew... all while making it look so bleak yet gorgeous. What a feat that was, Well deserved
Didn't he move away from features by choice or did I miss something?
Comparing that to Memento, The Prestige, Batman Begins and TDK is pretty damning for this decade of Nolan movies and more proof Denis is the right choice lol
