I've been watching her since I wasn't even sure why I was watching "Avonlea." Thought "Away From Her" was striking as well. Too many great women making movies, which is actually quite a wonderful thought.<br /><br />Also the "Queen of Directors" quote was Tarantino, not my own words, though I definitely like Bigelow.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583618094892337900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-51754703201696191052010-02-16T16:49:41.851-05:002010-02-16T16:49:41.851-05:00Ramsay and Coppola's works are the ones I'...Ramsay and Coppola's works are the ones I'm most excited to see.

(Or something?) How about "the mother of us all"?<br /><br />Onto the young'uns, though - my sweetie and I really enjoyed Saving Face (2004) written and directed by Alice Wu, but I don't see anything upcoming in Alice's imdb page. Not a surprise in this economy (in fact it's a miracle her first film got made at all: a Chinese-American lesbian female-centered multigenerational romantic comedy-drama.) But her script was very fine and layered, avoiding the usual cliches, and I love to see her do more, please.<br /><br />@Deus ex machina: don't be a tease.

One I sadly neglected is Andrea Arnold. I'm stoked to see what she has in store after "Fish Tank." Apparently she has an adaptation of "Wuthering Heights" in the works, starring Ed Westwick of "Gossip Girl."<br /><br />As for Julie Taymor, I simply haven't followed her work that closely, though I'm intrigued by Helen Mirren of course. I've yet to see "Amreeka," Tarantino_Junkie, but I liked "Frozen River." Hunt is apparently prepping a film called "Northline," about a poor woman in Nevada who imagines conversations with Paul Newman.
