My Take
Rifkin fascinates me for his sheer tonal range. The same filmmaker can write a buoyant family caper like Mouse Hunt or Underdog and then dive into gritty, unsettling urban drama, occasionally hiding behind the pseudonym Rif Coogan. To me that elasticity is a kind of artistic courage; most creators cling to a brand, while he treats genre as a costume to change at will. Born in Chicago on the last day of 1966, he has built a career on refusing to be pinned down. I genuinely admire chameleons like him who would rather surprise an audience than reassure it.
