But Lantimas is not a director for everyone. Pedro Almodovar is also an amateur. And there are a lot of niche directors whose names few people will immediately remember, despite the love of critics. And Tarantino is loved by different audience strata, both those who adore action, watch Marvel movies or action movies, and those who are only interested in art-house or conversational philosophical films. He skillfully mixes everything he loves and grew up on into a cocktail that appeals to a wide range of other people. Yes, he doesn't do it as trivially as regular blockbusters, but to say that he's clearly not for everyone is kind of far-fetched. Because in any case, there is no director for everyone in this world. and a movie for everyone.
