Philip Kaufman

[Steve Strickland]

He had a string of awesome flicks in the late seventies/early eighties: Invasion of The Body Snatchers (remake), The Wanderers, and The Right Stuff. He's still making films, but hasn't done anything that I think lives up to those mentioned. Invasion and The Wanderers are definitely in my top 15 favs. Any other fans out there?

Is he the guy who made henry and june?

Yeah, and also The Unbearable Lightness Of Being for you romantic folk.

The last movie he did that I enjoyed was Quills with Jeffery Rush. He was great as the Marqe de Sade (sp?).

Yeah he's a good director. An american director with a european style. I've watched henry and june, great cinematography, very haunting and technically astute, however the story just wasn't for me. The lesbian scene was good though.
