 Lars von Trier - Melancholia

 François Truffaut - Jules et Jim 

Ingmar Bergman - Wild Strawberries

Werner Herzog - Aguirre

Went for Tarkovsky/Tarr/Von Trier although I don't know Tarr. The combination of Ken Loach and David Lynch is funny cause I can't stand the former but love the latter director

Nowadays, you can see the likes of a Gaspar Noe, or Lars Van Trier and others, that think they have the touch of the weird and bizarre, however, in both cases, their "freedom" that gave them the ideas that helped them create at the start, all of a sudden are nothing but indulgent ... and boring! I'm not sure that I can say the same thing for many of the great directors and their work ... they always challenged you!

Missing on the list, is Orson Welles, who deserves his place in history, for creating two things that drove people insane. The first was his radio program that got the country scared ... and then the war came! (The War of the Worlds on radio!), and later, of course CITIZEN KANE, still a landmark in American Film, however, one that is liked in Film School, but is quickly dissed and dismissed because it is anti-establishment and hard core so. And while Orson Welles did not seem to continue being a great writer and director, he did put together things that are not appreciated, like CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT, which was trashed silly by academics and people that did not like anyone creating a story about a Shakespearean character that is in various plays! However, his importance to theater and film from the late 30's to the 50's is not to be ignored, as it signaled the independence and the fight that the characters and actors in THE ACTOR'S STUDIO became famous for ... few will ever forget Marlon Brando's scream ... Stelllllllllllllllllllllllllla! And what it meant for American film and theater at the time.
