if you were familiar with auteurs, you'd know he's not the only living auteur

Lynch and Cassavetes are the only two American auters worth a damn and Cassavetes died in like 1985. Seriously, name an American auter that is as
- idiosyncratic
- great
- consistent
as them. I'll wait.

>>207927155
I'll ignore your "American" rule because movies worth a damn are made in other places as well
>Tsai Ming-liang
>Bela Tarr
>Lav Diaz
>Tinto Brass
>Bertrand Blier
>Wong Kar-Wai
>Todd Solondz
>Jim Jarmusch
>Takeshi Kitano
>Toshiaki Toyoda
Yeah sadly a lot of the greatest are dead, but those are living

Or because you don't know that many good American directors? You shouldn't have. Solonds and Jarmush aren't auteurs btw.

>Or because you don't know that many good American directors?
No, it's because I watch movies from outside of America
>Solonds and Jarmush aren't auteurs btw.
They have a recognizable directional style, just like Lynch

>>207927389
Did I ask you about your film watching habits? No one cares.
No they don't.
Back to the topic, did you know Jerry Schatzberg is still alive? He had a good career, but is nowhere near Lynch.

>>207927422
No need to start period raging, princess... I just thought you're a filmbro if Lynch is "the last auteur" to you
And I didn't know Jerry Schatzberg was still alive

>>207927155
William Friedkin? Michael Mann? John Carpenter? Or does genre cinema not count?

>>207927097
whos this salami tsunami

>>207927473
big difference between considering Lynch the last auteur and calling shits like Tarr auteurs

>>207927510
filename

>>207927536
They are "auteurs" because they both keep making the exact same movie over and over again

>>207927473
Why do you assume everyone you argue with gets mad and copes and seethes right when you start losing the argument? I'm calmer than you are.
Floyd Mutrux is still alive.
>>207927499
Firedkin died decently and I wouldn't call him an auteur. Mann and Carpenter do count, thanks for the suggestion.

>Why do you assume everyone you argue with gets mad and copes and seethes
because I'm unbeatable and strike fear into my weak enemies
>right when you start losing the argument?
but I'm not even slipping
>I'm calmer than you are.
I believe you! my cunt is tight because I haven't relaxed a day in my life

>>207927725
John Boorman is still alive, did you know? Not really American, but he made some of his more famous films in the country.

>>207927810
Roman Polanski by that logic too.

>>207927855
Yes, I forgot about him.

>>207927053
Where's the auteur beard?

>>207927922
He has the auteur hair

>>207927155
Paul Thomas Anderson

>>207927155
>- idiosyncratic
>- great

That's not the definition of an auteur.

>>207928068
Correct me.

this is your kino god? what a stupid motherfucker

>>207928147
it's a miracle he made it this far really

>>207927053
Good. Take his fans with him.

>>207927053
In film maybe, le creatividad is only 61 and fujimoto 32 (but holy shit was that newest chapter dogshit did he have a stroke or something, is he ruined now)

>>207927155
Lynch isn't consistent and Cassavetes is garbage

>>207927053
Hideo Kojima is still healthy and kicking

>>207928068
>idiosyncratic
Nonsense. A director's personality is entirely irrelevant to being an "Auteur."
>great
Too subjective. "Greatness" is also irrelevant.
>consistent
Consistency in what regard? Quality? Again too subjective. All that matters is identifying tendencies that are specific to the director's body of work that reflect their style and voice.

>>207928017
I admit I'm very dusty on him and saw only a couple of his films 15 years ago. You may be right.
