Steven Spielberg has been without peer for so long — just over three decades — that it’s easy to forget he was once a twenty-something phenom. Gifted with both a preternatural vision for the filmmaking medium and the tenacity to realize it, this wunderkind guided a troubled project cursed with a malfunctioning robot shark into what became, at the time, the biggest blockbuster in history. And he’s continued to deliver, as both director and producer, at a dizzying level of productivity surely unequalled in the post-studio era. Just as remarkable is the fact that his productivity has been accompanied by an equally steady maturation as a film artist.
