Danny Boyle

In class, we recently watched 127 Hours (2010) and The Beach (2000) both directed by Danny Boyle. His style of film is made blatantly clear in the hyperactivity of sequences with consistent rapid straight cuts. Contrast between the realism of often isolated natural settings with abstract edited sequences assisted by contrapuntal sound is evident in both features.
