- I believe he is notable for having directed a widely viewed film about a very popular artist and he is linked in many other films with their own pages. I've cleaned-up the post to be more matter-of-fact and only used what is verifiable in secondary sources and cited them properly. This is my second ever contribution so still learning the form.SinemaBuff (talk) 14:20, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
