Magnificient list. So much diversity and artists I love (Lav Diaz, Pedro Costa, Alexander Sokourov…) Bravo

All films made by men. Once again women directors are completely shunned by the world of film. For all it’s diversity, this list ignores the work of every woman who ever directed a movie, showing once again that cinema is perhaps the most sexist of all domains in our world.

the list does contain some good movies though. do you have any proposals of female directors’ works which could be included? dont be shy, share them, otherwise your response is off point and has no value, as it is simply whinning.

Chantal Ankerman made the cut with No Home Movie… but, hey, that’s only one in fifty so I’d still concede you have a point.

As if the person who made the list thought about gender first… what matters is the film not who made it, grow up

What a fantastic list. A mix of known masterpieces and little-known (unfortunately) avant-garde gems (I’m sure) which I am yet to discover. Watched 21/50, so far. Great blog site.

I am an American filmmaker and have never seen any of these films. Their sensibilities seem far removed from those of Hollywood films.

Sapete come posso recuperare White Epilepsy, Meurtriere e Unrest?
"Mi piace""Mi piace"
White Epilepsy è possibile recuperare online (torrent), gli altri due sono ancora irreperibili.

Grazie mille! Spero che Meurtriere e Unrest siano recuperabili presto.

Recensirete mai la trilogia sull’inquietudine, l’ansia, la preoccupazione di Grandrieux?
PS ho recuperato White Epilepsy e ne sono rimasto affascinato, quasi estasiato.
E da quello che ho sentito i due film successivi, che spero di recuperare prima o poi, sono anche meglio.

Great recipe, but where the fuck do you get off wasting our time scrolling down 80 of the page reading your lame ass story before we get the recipe? Only to be followed by an even longer chain of comments? You’re bad and you should feel bad. You’re the reason we deserve Trump as a president.

Well, 5 films by Philippe Grandrieux, 3 by Tsai Ming Liang and Lav Díaz, 2 by Rouzbeh Rashidi, by Bela Tarr, by Wang Bing, Antoine D’Agata, by Aleksandr Sokurov and by Sector 16 … until then, considering that There are 50 films from one of the most prolific eras of the cinema, its list shows little variety. That is, nothing from Jia Zhangke, Hou Hsiao Hsien, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Leos Carax, Hong Sang-soo, Peter Greenaway, Abbas Kiarostami, Jafer Panahi, Isaki Lacuesta, Albert Serra, José Luis Guerin, or the consecrated Manoel de Oliveira, Alain Resnais, Raoul Ruiz … Come on, guys!
But the most worrying thing is that in his entire selection there is only one woman and as co-director! To hell with Lucrecia Martel, Chantal Ackerman, Naomi Kawase, Agnes Varda, Kelly Reichardt, or maybe Lynne Ramsay! will this be why they did select 2 films of the misogynist and fascist of Lars Von Trier?
