one of the most important filmmakers working today, period.

Why does he say that cinema died in 1962?

presumably when John Ford directed his last westerns...it was the end of a generation of silent film directors, etc...he could have said 45, or 55 or 59...

Shadows in Paradise is a sure bet. You can then follow with Ariel and The Match Factory Girl, all available through an eclipse set and a perfect place to start.

I agree with ELOI MV that the Eclipse set is a really accessible way to get into his stuff, and Ariel or Shadows in Paradise are a good place to start. After that, if you liked the goofy comedy aspects, try the Leningrad Cowboys, but if the bleakness resonated more, then maybe Tatjana.
