Menő szobrok filmrajongóknak, avagy így nézne ki a kedvenc rendezője a saját filmjeként

Mike Leavitt amerikai képzőművész fogta magát, és a garázsában kifaragta a 16 legismertebb filmrendező szobrát. Persze ez önmagában nem lenne hír, a művész azonban King Cuts projekje keretében úgy alkotta meg Tarantino, Kubrick, Scorsese, Hitchcock, Coppola, Spielberg vagy David Lynch közel félméteres, totemszerű mását, hogy a rendezők alakjába belegyúrta legismertebb filmjeik különös ismertetőjeleit is, és ha csak felszínesen is ismeri a munkásságukat, akkor is érteni fogja az utalásokat.

A hajtás után a teljesség igénye nélkül be is mutatunk pár művet (amelyekből július tizenegyedikéig a Jonathan LeVine Galériában volt kiállítás), ide kattintva pedig megnézheti a teljes kollekciót. Aki pedig inkább arra kíváncsi, hogyan is készült a banántestű Woody Allen, a madárba oltott Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg E.T. formájában, Martin Scorsese Rockyként, vagy David "Elefántember" Lynch és társaik, azoknak Mike Leavitt Youtube-csatornáján készséggel elmeséli.
