This one's getting better and better...several omissions dammit, curse you Dimitris for not having seen A New Leaf and Antonia's Line yet!
All lists of female filmmakers should include those made by Doris Wishman... my favorite being "Bad Girls go to Hell"
Some great stuff here, and some stuff I've never heard of and need to check out. You should watch Old Joy and Wendy and Lucy.
actually,Cienaga is something you'd probably adore and Headless Woman something which would leave you questioning flaccid sequences...however,her feminine touch is something which lacks from most male directors post-2000's... Enyedi has only made 3 films (if i remember correctly),i'm dying to find Simon Magus,which is said to be her most "popular" work... Ann Hui is super-cool,she has made from gangster adventures to melodramas,hehe.
Oh, and I can't wait to watch My 20th Century this Friday. I am downloading it. It seems like something I'd love.
I didn't like Martel's The Holy Girl but if that film's themes recur in her other films, then I really won't ever appreciate her films. Hopefully, The Cool World and Born in Flames will be added to The Auteurs sooner. And to be honest, I have yet to see an Ann Hui film.
excellent list,more diverse than one other similar list,i'd love to see some Campion,Martel and Chytilova though and let's see if Auteurs decides to add Shirley Clarke or/and Ann Hui too...
