GREAT DIRECTORS

Bernardo Bertolucci, David Lynch, Steven Frears, Agnès Varda, Ken Loach, Liliana Cavani, Todd Haynes, Catherine Breillat, Richard Linklater, John Sayles. Ten great directors, ten living legends of international cinema come together in a documentary that attempts to explore the inner workings of the cinematic art. The interviews presented here -rounded off by rich archive footage- are not simply the mere minutes of a discussion between the directors and Angela Ismailos; on the contrary, Ismailos attempts to bring to light the personalities and motivations of the people whose films continue to inspire to this day. A veritable celebration of the art of filmmaking, "Great Directors" is a testament to the agony and ecstasy of cinema.
