michael mann - who's on the phone?

michael mann tells stories. he tells them with motion pictures that look like still photographs. he developes characters with camera angles, low key lighting, electric guitars and carefully art directed environments. he sheds light on the hearts of men at night time, when most people are lurking in shadows and indulging their flesh. his characters experience epiphany near water, or in front of metalic buildings. and he is not afraid to argue that bad men are good, and good men are bad. and he almost always tells stories about women who are looking to save those men and be saved by them.
