Darned cockwombles.
Funny you should say that - didn't Boris Johnson name him as his filmic hero? Figures.
It's such an amazing film for so many reasons. For me, the way he shoots it like a Nouvelle Vague film (or indeed a 70s New Hollywood film influenced by the Nouvelle Vague), even though it's also the first blockbuster, probably had more impact upon my preferred aesthetic than anything else I've ever watched. Arthouse and mainstream all mixed together. Alien again fits into that pattern.
