Upcoming all time great directors
This is for people who are young/don't have huge bodies of work that you believe could be all time greats.
Spike Jonze. Everything he's done (including Where the Wild Things Are) has been A+ material I think. Very interesting thinker. |
Re: Upcoming all time great directors
The films I look forward to the most from young directors come from Sarah Polley, Jeff Nichols, and Rian Johnson.

When Christopher Nolan finishes his career he would be great/greatest, depending on what he does over the next few decades.

Ben Affleck has only made 3 movies-Gone Baby Gone, The Town, and Argo. That's a pretty good start.

Another interesting note - Steve McQueen and Ben Affleck both won on their third movies, and both times I felt it was their worst. Hunger>Shame>12. Gone>Town>Argo. |

What about Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Tsai Ming-Liang, Cristi Puiu, Nuri Bilge Ceylan and Bruno Dumont!

Excellent start... and if he continues like this, I could absolutely see him being a top 60 or 70 director ever. But if he really wants to reach the upper echelons, he needs to have a 2001 type flick that I don't believe him to be capable of. I really think about that sometimes - how would Kubrick's reputation be different if he didn't have that abstract masterpiece. Affleck's absolutely good and competent, but it's yet to be seen if he's really capable of something truly special.

Re: Upcoming all time great directors
My favorite contemporary director is christopher mcquarrie.
He's only directed two films (The Way of the Gun, Jack Reacher) and he wrote the screenplays for both. Now he is currently filming MI:5. Never been a huge fan of the series but I'm excited about this one with mcquarrie at the helm. |

Trey Edward Schults. Krisha was excellent in my opinion, the guy came up working on Terence Malick films and he's only in his 20s or early 30s; can't find his age for some reason. Looking forward to what else he comes up with, next he's making a psychological thriller called It Comes At Night with Joel Edgerton.

Re: Upcoming all time great directors
Upcoming all time, sound vague to me but I'll like to see career of some of this name in decades
Jeff nichol Denis villeneve Joji fukunaga Tetsuichiro Tsuta Xavier dolan - I don't even see his work yet, so my fallacy |
Yep, came here to say Villeneuve. He's an all timer for me already, actually. Polytechnique, Incendies and Enemy are all masterpieces.
Damien Chazelle as well, haven't seen La La Land but I've heard nothing but good things. Whiplash was my favorite of 2014 as well. Others: Alex Garland Cary Fukunaga (good call, resopamenic) Pablo Larrain Ryan Coogler Taika Waititi Bong Joon-ho |
Re: Upcoming all time great directors
I've got Robert Eggers on my radar.
He did very well with VVitch IMO. Will be interesting to see what he does with Nosferatu, |

Re: Upcoming all time great directors
A yeah I missed, I missed damien chazelle there with whiplash which is really impressive. la la land is look like another holywood musical but probably I'll break my own barrier for that .
Seems I'll check deus ex machina by alex garland again as I despised it before Bong-jon hoo and also park chan wook, kim di duk, I think already established and redefined korean cinema in curent decade. Their works probably already considered in "all time" circle as well. |
Re: Upcoming all time great directors
Richard Ayoade. I loved his first film, Submarine, and I very much liked his second film, The Double, as well.
