Is Danny Boyle one of Britain's most interesting directors?

On Tuesday the director of Slumdog Millionaire talks to The Culture Show about his new film, set in Mumbai. As part of the feature Danny Boyle appears in front of an invited audience to answer their questions about the film. Their reactions are very interesting. If you'd like to see some extra footage from Danny and Mark's chat in the pub before the film you can watch it here.

Danny Boyle has shown his ability to hop from genre to genre, making films including Trainspotting and 28 Days Later... I haven't seen Slumdog yet, but from the enthusiastic reviews I'm hearing around the office it appears that Boyle has managed what he achieves in his best films - making something that is both entertaining and moving but also artistically interesting. That doesn't mean, however, that I forgive him for A Life Less Ordinary. Please God, may I never have to watch Ewan McGregor in another musical.

What do you think of Danny Boyle's films and how would you say he compares to other British directors?
