Directors coach the cast on delivery but they’re also hugely influential on the tone and even the script.
For example, while not all directors get final cut of the film, they work closely with the editor creating multiple cuts which then go through the studio system for sign off from producers.
They also hire the crew which includes people like the director of photography who are responsible for constructing the look of shots and lighting.
Basically, on set, a good director is like Rome, all roads must pass through them.
