The best director is the one you don't see.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the concept of a seamless directorial approach, where the director's visionary and transformative work remains subtle and unnoticed by the audience. It suggests that the greatest directors are those who skillfully create a cohesive and immersive experience without drawing attention to their own presence or artistic choices. By staying hidden behind the scenes, the director allows the actors, story, and overall cinematic elements to take center stage, producing a more authentic and impactful viewing experience.
