I think he's getting more irritable as he gets older (and I think he still has a chip on his shoulder for being criticised for being too visual - should a bird not sing?), but wasn't The Last Duel supposed to have been good? As for irritable: Some of these press outbursts are definitely directors trying to whip up some press for their movies, but he got in some hot water for saying --- “The best films are driven by the characters,” he said, “and we’ll come to superheroes after this if you want, because I’ll crush it. I’ll f*ing crush it. They’re f*ing boring as s*." and "Their scripts are not any fucking good" --- Is he wrong? They're mostly not bad* now (marvel ones at least), but they're utterly sedated and breeding a new generation of media-consumers who've literally never seen a "good" movie (By which I mean something driven by a director rather than a producer)
