Interesting fact: when Tarantino debuted in 1992 with "rams", he spent most of the year, presenting a film at the film festivals - and at each showing, counting how many viewers did not stand the bloody spectacle and left viewing. According to the director, the maximum "achievement" - 33 viewers who left the cinema to the end of the film.

Sofia Koppola - "Suician Virgin"
Yes, perhaps to some extent to succeed in Hollywood Sofia helped the famous surname (Sofia - daughter of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola and Kuzina Nicholas Cage). But in 1999, the drama "virgin suicide" instantly chained attention to Sofia completely for another reason, proven her as a strong and distinctive director. Although the organizers of Oscar, the drama ignored the "virgin suicides" so far on hearing, 18 years after the exit - and this indicates how memorable the directorial debut of Sofia was.
An interesting fact: Kirsten Dunst, who continued to work with Sofia Koppola, played a major role in the suicide virgins, which continued to work with Sofia Koppola - "Maria Antoinette" and "Fatory Temptation".
David Fincher - "Alien 3"
Today in the "multiserial" franchise with a huge budget, "from the side" is very difficult, but David Finchard at one time it was possible that - the director's debut of the FINTER was "someone else's 3" 1992 with Sigurnie Weaver in the lead role. Let "someone else's 3" - far from the strongest and popular series of cult franchise (James Cameron somehow called the "stupid 3" frankly "stupid" film), he received its legitimate nomination for Oscar for special effects.

Probably there is no such fan of cinema over the age of 25 years, which would not hear about the "Breakfast Club" directed by John Hughes. However, his debut film was not less successful - "sixteen candles." There are no awards at the debut film Hughes, but there are excellent indicators of boxing office ("sixteen candles" collected in the rental 4 times more than spent on the shooting of the film) and the status of the cult.
An interesting fact: Hughes himself, despite the success of his films, preferred to work as a screenwriter - he, in particular, wrote a script for the cult comedy "one house" with Maicolai Kalkin.
Sam Mehdes - "Beauty of American"

Shot literally for a penny (87 thousand dollars) "The last house left" at the box office, despite the abundance of cruel and bloody scenes, censorship and a full ban in some countries, earned $ 3.1 million - that is, almost 36 times the budget.

Today's relationship of Guy Richie with film critics resemble fortune telling on the chamomile in the style of "loves - does not like."
