In no particular order…
Stanley Kubrick
Ken Loach
Agnès Varda
Rian Johnson
Bong Joon-ho
Greta Gerwig (I know she’s only done two films, but as far as I’m concerned, she’s a genius)
Damien Chazelle
Christopher Nolan
Denis Villenueve
Akira Kurosawa
Dave Filoni
Hayao Miyazaki
I have a hunch Andrei Tarkovsky will be added to this list once I actually get round to watching any of his films. Stardust1138 will approve.
