Nothing but great lighting, imagery, which adds up to ZERO. Talk about ALL STYLE ,NO SUBSTANCE.He has become a huge boring cliche.

I'm going to have to disagree. His movies aren't about spelling everything out for the audience to have an easy time. The heart of each of his movies, especially lately, comes from the experiences you bring from your own life to the film and how everyone has those feelings, whether they want to admit it or not. The substance is there; its just not obvious.

Yeah I think his films or more experiential than literal.

Precisely.
