Which of these magnificent auteurs that truly changed the way in which we view and dissect cinema is the greatest of all time?
I don't know who any of these people are. Names?
>>49097285
Rohmer
Bresson
Resnais
Bergman
Tarkovsky
Nolan
Kiarostami
Malick
Kurosawa
Please tell me Nolan being on there is bait. He's incredibly mediocre and has no business being there alongside directors like Bresson, Rohmer, and Kiarostami.
>>49097404
I only know Noland.

>confirmed for never having seen The Prestige
>>49097503

>Mediocre
Sure thing. You clearly just aren't capable of 'getting' his art. it takes work to understand the full extent of Nolan's brilliance. Inception for example; is a marvelous film with many subtleties that you probably didn't even notice.
Even for his mildly weaker efforts like TDKR; (not every auteur can strike gold every time) it's certainly flawed (a minor Nolan film if you will) but still streets ahead intellectually from most of the stuff that we see nowadays. Maybe you're just more of a Tarantino or a Godard guy, and there's no shame in that, it just means you haven't truly been exposed to groundbreaking avant garde patrician cinema yet like I have.
>>49097503
Wow, ultra pleb detected.
>>49097503
>I hate him because he's popular
Stop being such a contrarian child. Nolan is hailed as the greatest director of the 21st century for a reason. You know good and well that when Nolan's canonization as one of the all-time greats is an objective agreement among cinephiles in a decade that you will be singing the praises alongside everybody else.
>Batman: Le Commencement
>Le Chevalier Noir
>L'Ascension du Chevalier Noir
These are the main masterpieces of modern kinography. The only film that comes close to their brilliance (and was directed by an auteur on that list) is Moissons du Ciell.
Right now, every patrician cinephile is awaiting for Interstellar (un film de Christopher Nolan).
>>49097613
>thinking Nolan is better than Godard
>>49097931
>Thinking Godard is good at all
He's nothing more than the French Tarantino.
There's a reason why the pretentious enjoy schlock from Godard, Tarantino, and Luhrmann
While the true patricians who understand the artform of cinema at its purest form enjoy the life changing masterworks by Tarkovsky, Nolan, and Bresson.
>>49097931
Godard, that message-man, that amateur politician, doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Nolan. Godard is a solemn, humorless bore, much like Antonioni -- very entertaining for children and simpletons, but trash for any discerning and intelligent kinophile.
Where is Kubrick on that list?
>>49098443
He's been surpassed by Nolan. Hence why Kubrick isn't on the list and Nolan is.
>>49098489
Name one great film by Christopher Nolan.

Nolan is a wholly mediocre director and you guys are fucking idiots.
>>49098514

Is it opposite day or something?
>>49098757
It's always opposite day on /tv/. This once great board has become the stomping ground of autistic contrarian shut-ins, and threads such as these are all that remain of the glory years.
Soar high, fellow patrician
>>49098604
>>49098646
Memento is nothing beyond its storytelling gimmick, The Prestige is decent until its mega contrived third act and Inception is an utterly dull film that fails to live up to the promise of its concept. About 80% of the script is exposition.
Get better taste and don't you dare compare Nolan, a jacked up blockbuster babby, to masters like Tarkovsky or Bresson, you mongoloid.
>>49098841
Please see >>49097613
Where is PTA?
>>49098882
There are no subtleties in Inception, Nolan is a destroyer of ambiguity. He doesn't care about creating art, he cares about pleasing critics and getting as many box office dollars as possible.
Kill yourself.
I'm glad that /tv/ has finally gotten off of their autistic high horses and are able to admit that Nolan truly is one of the best directors in film history.
>>49097138

>Get better taste and don't you dare compare Nolan, a jacked up blockbuster babby, to masters like Tarkovsky or Bresson, you mongoloid.
This is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've read on /tv/ in a long time. Nolan has an absolutely stellar track record, and, with his upcoming space epic, it will get more stellar still.
>>49099038
You might even say... Interstellar.

Nice memes kid
>>49099283
Which memes are you referring to?
Nice group of artists OP.
My rankings of them would be:
1. Kiarostami
2. Rohmer
3. Resnais
4. Nolan
5. Bergman
6. Tarkovsky
7. Kurosawa
8. Malick
9. Bresson
The only two that I'm not a big fan of and consider incredibly overrated and pretentious would be Malick and Bresson. The rest of GOAT tier though.
>>49099390
I agree on Malick, cinematography aside he is nothing special.

It's baffling that there are people out there who are incapable of getting films as simple as Fight Club and The Usual Suspects.

They're both remarkably simple films that trick plebs into thinking they're deep because there's a twist. There's not much to get.
>>49100464
Couldn't be more wrong.

Fun fact: Resnais was a capeshit fan, he wanted to adapt comics like Flash Gordon or Tintin, plus was a good friend with and worked on screenplays with Stan Lee.
http://www.slashfilm.com/trivia-french-visionary-alain-resnais-planned-two-films-marvels-stan-lee/
Also he was one the biggest comics collector in Europe and he co-created a comics club, the French /co/ of the 60's, later joined by people like Chris Marker or Jodo

>>49101081
Alejandro Jodorowsky is as well.
In fact, it might be more correct to call him a comic book writer/artist than a filmmaker since that is what he has spent most of his career on.
>>49101108
Please enlighten me on which of these directors don't deserve to be considered one of the greatest of all time.
>>49101132
Mmhm. Wasn't Nic Refn planning to adapt one of his comic series soon?
>>49101274

>>49101409
Only God Forgives was a flawed but competent film. Stop jumping on a bandwagon of plebs who expected it to be Drive 2.0 and were let down due to their own ignorance.
>>49101158
You are barking up the wrong tree.
I notice that whenever a /tv/ faggot decides to call patrician directors "entry level", they are never able to back that up by giving examples of better ones. Probably because they are insecure about their own tastes, and cower at the mention of such masters like Tarkovsky, Malick and Nolan
>>49101466
>Stop jumping on a bandwagon of plebs who expected it to be Drive 2.0 and were let down due to their own ignorance.
Y'know, not everyone who dislikes OGF was thinking it'd be Drive 2.0.
It's not a competent film. It's mediocre -- and that's on a good day.

>Kiarostami
Muh gimmicky blend of naturalism and surrealism! MUH PRETENTIOUS POETRY!
>Malick
Pretty but empty visuals that are entirely devoid of any type of substance. He also can't write worth a damn which causes his films to be further ruined by corny melodramatic pseudo intellectual narration
>Kurosawa
Decent action movie director, nothing more, nothing less.
>>49101409
>Jodorowsky's face
He knows the movie is shit
>>49102090
I can respect this
However, without using buzzwords or blanket criticisms, I'd like if you explained what you find in particular about Nolan that is so irksome.
>>49102090
“I am only interested in the views of two people: one is called Bresson and one called Bergman.” - Tarkovsky
>>49102166
His films aren't visually pleasing to look at, he can't direct action worth a damn so it all looks clunky and hard to follow, his scripts are all incredibly convoluted and poorly structured, and all fall apart if you spend more than 10 minutes thinking about them, and he can't pace worth shit.
>>49102000
No you didn't, pleb
I'm sure you're referring to the same internet critic I do too when I attack you low cinema iq apes

Retarded. It applies to any film maker unless you have ADHD or some shit that disables you from paying attention. For example, you can absolutely tell a Michael Bay film from just looking at explosions alone. Is Bay an auteur as well?

Obviously, for the reasons you mentioned. Look up the term "vulgar auteurs"

>This thread
>Kurosawa, Rohmer, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Bresson, Resnais, Kiarostami, Malick, Nolan, the list goes on!
The hallmarks of the tasteless and the uninitiated. It's okay if you're just getting into the medium, but there are some (even here, on a so called ''film'' board) that actually believe they are cultured or have a snippet of taste because they like these directors, when in actuality they are nothing more than embarrassing cringeworthy copy/paste babbies with no opinion on the medium they claim to love whatsoever.
For a cinephile like myself, it is truly disgusting to watch, and the main reason I, and many others, steer far away from this pit of despair and depravity. You are everything wrong with this board.
>>49102661
The Seventh Seal was marred by the comedy elements that were at odds and didn't feel in place alongside the rest of the film and the themes it tackled.
Persona's ending was tacked on bullshit and ruined an otherwise interesting film. The film was objectively hampered by the needless 'meta' elements that had no place in the film.
Wild Strawberries was also way too bland despite the really interesting themes being poorly tackled.
>Kurosawa
Just because he made a few films that weren't action movies, doesn't change the validity of my statement. His films are still nothing more than average.
>>49102090
>An innovative but thoroughly average director who is arguably the most overrated of all time. His films also have a lot of problems with tone consistency.
Bergman himself admitted his dissatisfaction with several of his films, but this is the only time I've seen anyone claim that his films fall short where "tone [sic] consistency" is concerned.
>>49102742
Are you actually trying to claim that Rohmer, Tarkovsky, Bresson, and Kiarostami are not great directors who deserve to be considered among the best?
>>49102742
Nolan and Malick are bait, but the others are hallmarks of Movie-making history.
Just because they don't conform to your hipster taste, does not mean that they din't affect Cinema and the techniques and narratives developed with it.

>The Seventh Seal was marred by the comedy elements that were at odds and didn't feel in place alongside the rest of the film and the themes it tackled.
Different Anon, but I must disagree: the humour was thoroughly in keeping. I think you don't understand the difference between tonal consistency and being tonally monochromatic.
>>49102830
It's a bait post, Anon, and not a very good one. If he knew what he was doing, he'd have listed some plausible-sounding (but outrageously stupid) alternatives.
whoa whoa wat
So when did Kiarostami become acceptable to list alongside Rohmer, Tarkovsky, Bresson, Kurosawa, Resnais, and Bergman?
Not that I have a problem with it since I love the guy, but it seems like a more recent occurrence to see people referring to him as one of the all time best.

>For me he's (Orson Welles)e just a hoax. It's empty. It's not interesting. It's dead. Citizen Kane, which I have a copy of — is all the critics' darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it's a total bore. Above all, the performances are worthless. The amount of respect that movie's got is absolutely unbelievable.

“I’ve never gotten anything out of his movies. They have felt constructed, faux intellectual, and completely dead. Cinematographically uninteresting and infinitely boring. Godard is a fucking bore. He’s made his films for the critics. One of the movies, Masculin, Féminin, was shot here in Sweden. It was mind-numbingly boring.”- Ingmar Bergman
“His gifts as a director are enormous. I just can’t take him very seriously as a thinker — and that’s where we seem to differ, because he does. His message is what he cares about these days, and, like most movie messages, it could be written on the head of a pin.”- Orson Welles
