Why are there so few movies with fantastical narrative and/or art direction?
bumph
Most directors are great Technicians and just personal enough to be able to work with others.
A handful of directors come from the art world; Fellini was a Cartoonist before he went into filmmaking. Hitchcock drew the title card borders for silent film dialogue... I can't think of many Painters that transitioned into films, but Jean Renoir's father was one.

Lynch was a painter that transitioned into film. Did Jodowrosky make comic books before or after he started making films? I can't remember.
But anon is right, it's a large group of people who have studied and borrowed from true artists and use their technical knowledge to direct, not their creative vision.

Why build sets, render CGI scenery, make costumes or spend money on the art department in general when you can set your movie in present day LA?

Ridley Scott studied traditional art in college and drew the storyboards for Alien.

No, he has some (albeit short and sometimes crudely drawn) comics he did way before El Topo or that other Mexican film who's name I can't remember. They're pretty interesting though imo just because of how "pure" and concentrated the artwork looks, much like his films.
