"Poll question: Who's the GOAT female director of all time?"


  

          

This is kind of a spin-off from my GOAT female MC post in The Lesson. It actually took me about 30 minutes to find other female directors besides Coppola and Bigelow, which is a pretty sad statement about Hollywood. I think I picked a decent six but you fuckers will still probabaly complain. We know women might not want to be rappers because of all the misogyny in Hip-Hop but why is there such a shortage of women in the field of film making? Women aren't less visionary or imaginitive than men. Is there a feminine quality that they bring to films that most people don't care for?

Poll result (17 votes)
Katheryn Bigelow (Hurt Locker) (5 votes)Vote
Patty Jenkins (Monster) (1 votes)Vote
Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don't Cry) (3 votes)Vote
Amy Heckerling (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) (1 votes)Vote
Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation) (5 votes)Vote
Jane Campion (The Piano) (2 votes)Vote

If you're talking about just Hollywood, I agree there is a shortage.


>Women aren't less visionary or

>bring to films that most people don't care for?

I think it's more an issue of distribution and financing and thus a lack of awareness that is holding back more people from seeing more films by women.

it seems that she got credit for a lot of shots (especially in 'olympia') that she didn't do.

Maybe Campion is first tier as well. Denis is my favorite.


Some contemporary filmmakers: Lynne Ramsay, Lucrecia Martel, So Yong Kim, Kelly Reichardt, Isabel Coixet, Agnes Jaoui, Xu Jinglei

Some contemporary filmmakers that I've only seen 1 film from and really liked it or loved it (some of their latest has been getting or gotten good/great reviews): Marien Ade, Andrea Arnold, Jennifer Baichwal, Lucia Puenzo.

Other films that I really liked or loved: Take Care of My Cat, Ana y los otros, and Liberty Kid.

I don't get the voting here. Lost in Translation was good, but it didn't have the life-changing effect on me that it did with other people. Biegelow gets my vote on this one.
