David Lynch made a G-rated Disney road movie about an old man crossing Iowa on a lawnmower. That is The Straight Story, and it is the film his shelf cannot account for. Park Chan-wook broke off the vengeance trilogy for I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK, a romance set in a psychiatric ward. Ang Lee, between literary dramas, made Hulk. Watching one is watching a director work without the habits you know them by.
