Plus que parfait

Plus que parfait

To my knowledge, 'le plus que parfait' is used to indicate actions before a (supposedly) principal action, denoted in passe compose,  in the past. I have had a hard time with what this principal action here. 

Ce film, qu'il avait réalisé, écrit et produit, est un chef-d'œuvre absolu 

Je n'avais pas entendu parler de ce film avant

Il a aussi réalisé la série à succès Big Little Lies

I didn't understand the justification for the tenses used here. If someone can help me with this, I would deeply appreciate it. 

Thanks in advance.
