Which movie directors come to mind first when you hear the phrase time travel? Christopher Nolan is a master of the science-fiction subgenre, while Robert Zemeckis practically invented it with Back to the Future. Terry Gilliam put his stamp on the concept with both 12 Monkeys and Time Bandits, and Stefon Bristol made time travel political in See You Yesterday. But there’s one name that probably doesn’t come to mind, even if he directed one of the best time-travel movies to date.
