  • Who/What are your favorite not-American contemporary filmmakers and films?

    Our conversations have been very Hollywood-centric, lately.

    Japan -
    Takeshi Kitano
    The Ghibli Team (Takahata, Miyazaki)

    South Korea-
    Na Hong-jin
    Yang Ik-joon
    Bong Jon Ho (except The Snowpiercer)
    Park Chan Wok (everything before I'm a cyborg...and that's ok)

    France-
    Jacques Audiard (just A Prophet)

    Nothing much from Spain, the UK, Scandinavia -maybe the First Pusher by Refn-
    The question is : Do you work in the business?

        A big fan of anything Martin McDonagh makes.

        Does Nolan count as non-American? I'm never sure.

        Edgar Wright (Shaun & HF, not so much The World's End)
        Greengrass (anything)
        Ben Wheatley (Kill List)

        A few British/Irish off the top of my head.

          Off the top of my head I'll say Almodóvar, Wheatley, Zvyagintsev. If I had time I'd go into more detail but I feel those 3 always come out with great films.
