My Take
Andrew Dominik is the kind of director I happily wait years between films for. Wellington-born and Australian-raised, he announced himself with the ferocious Chopper, then made the achingly beautiful Assassination of Jesse James, the bleak Killing Them Softly, and the divisive Blonde. He works slowly and refuses to dilute his vision, and you can feel that obsessive craft in every frame. His movies pair visual elegance with a real undercurrent of dread, which is a rare and intoxicating combination. I would rather have one uncompromised Dominik picture a decade than a steady stream of safe ones. A true auteur.
