One of the other great qualities of the director is his persistence. He has time and again managed to find incredible stories to depict to the screen, and has often done so at a breathtaking pace.

However, his upcoming medium-length film, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, adapted from Roald Dahl's story of the same name, comes a little too quickly after the release of his much anticipated Asteroid City, which consisted of a star-studded cast and an impressive premise.
