His films always seem a bit too much like intellectual exercises for me and I'm always put off by what I think is a certain coldness at the heart of all of them. I won't deny his status as an innovator but I've never really enjoyed anything he's done - Le Mepris aside, perhaps because that's one of his least typical.
