On Curtis Hanson: 'He Was a Voyeur, He Was a Camera'
I wrote a piece for Variety on my friend Curtis Hanson:
Curtis Hanson's gaze was ever deferential to the art of film itself. His films explore and never explode. Even his heartbreak unfolds in restraint. There is a debit and credit sheet here. The viewer flails for emotional coherence and fails to find it. The viewer comes away with a sense of life deftly observed. Voyeur, filmmaker, observer — the most circumspect man I've ever met. Curtis Hanson was a camera above all else.
