There was something about his work that was compelling but ultimately unsatisfying - a very personal aesthetic.
Kind of sad that he went just as he was hitting his stride.

Cold Mountain was a major disappointment. I lost all hope for Tony’s film directing after that. Why his work in Opera was so focused and expressive, while his film work was so stilted has been something I just can’t figure out.

Cold Mountain the novel was a lovely piece of work. Poetic and moving. The movie was impersonal and hollow.
Still R.I.P.
