'Los Angeles is full of big men who've lost their balls.' (film director Mike Figgis)
Article Abstract:
It is important not to suppress your instincts, according to film director Mike Figgis. He has never felt able to comply with the requirements of Hollywood film studios, and for this reason has had a rather unstable career. His films do not have the shape conventionally associated with mainstream Hollywood films, and his characters are often dark and ambiguous. His films often focus on desire that seems to charge the atmosphere surrounding the characters.

The film director Ron Howard is riding high on the back of Apollo 13. But where on earth is he going?
Article Abstract:
Film director Ron Howard is most concerned with drama on a personal scale, even in a film like 'Apollo 13,' which deals with space exploration. There is no real element of complexity in his creative output, and he does not have a strong cinematic vision. He is willing to take on the responsibility of directing high-profile films, and is respected for the sharpness of his personality.
