Joseph Kosinski: The Unsung Auteur Like Wes Anderson & Michael Bay 🎬

Is Joseph Kosinski an auteur? I feel like we don't talk about him in that context as much as we should. The director of Tron Legacy, Oblivion, and Only The Brave has made a name for himself with striking, visually distinctive action-adventure and science fiction films. In this deep dive video essay, we'll examine and appreciate this director's supremely refined visual style, as well as the common themes that tie his work together.

It may be too simplistic to call him "The Wes Anderson of Michael Bays", but "Colorful Nolan" just seemed...weird, you know?
