Comparing Tarsem’s ‘Fall’ and ‘Cell’ to Romanek’s ‘Bedtime Story’
I have taken a few opportunities to praise director Mark Romanek, not for his films, but for his music videos. Romanek has a visual style that is striking and I pointed it out when looking at his music video collection here and again when he signed on as director of The Wolfman remake (of which he is now not directing… a…
