Nick Greene looks for trademarks in the films of Andy and Lana Wachowski. He praises the siblings’ ability to make action “balletic and slowed down with losing any intensity,” which is hardly the norm in most of today’s hyperactive epics:
“Compare this with Christopher Nolan—perhaps the most celebrated director of the moment—who can’t film a one-on-one fight scene without leaving me totally and completely confused as to what the hell is going on.”
We hardily concur.
