 |
|
There have been a lot of different threads about movies, but I haven't seen one on favorite directors (except for one on Italian directors). So who are your favorite directors?
Here are three of my favorite auteurs:
Mike Leigh: Secrets and Lies; All or Nothing; Naked; Vera Drake; etc. Slow moving stuff, but he packs an emotional wallop.
Jim Jarmusch: Down By Law; Night on Earth; Stranger Than Paradise; Dead Man; etc.
Todd Solondz: Welcome to the Dollhouse; Happiness; Storytelling; etc. He takes risks, tackles subjects no one else would touch.
Sorry if there is already a thread out there. |

And shoots his films with all the visual poetry of a blind chimpanzee filming on a cellphone camera. He should be writing books, not using film, because he has no aptitude for it, no matter what subjects he happens to be riskily touching. |

| Federico Fellini. For my money, 8 1/2 is the supreme achievement in film. |
