This auteur is a master of sensory overload, and he can teach you a thing or two about embracing your distinct style.
Baz Luhrmann is a filmmaker that has a style so distinctive and flamboyant, it can be dizzying. He highlights the absurdity of a world in which doomed characters live in a state of hyper-realism, far removed from anything we’ve ever seen before.
Call it nostalgia or a simple love for absurdity, but I’ve always adored Luhrmann’s bold cinematic language that unapologetically romanticizes an exaggerated world. From Romeo + Juliet to 2013’s The Great Gatsby to his latest film Elvis, Luhrmann constantly brings to life his vision while entertaining his audience.
Luhrmann has a loud and fearless approach to his creative process that is unlike most filmmakers, so let’s learn how to emulate that same energy.
