Seems stupid to post any further results during the Holidays.

Also, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Yorgos Lanthimos (Doogtooth, Alps, The Lobster). I guess most people only have access to those 3 and The Lobster is too new for many to have seen it.

Rating him would be difficult.  I saw Dogtooth and Alps and both were hard to love, but display a hand ready to try a unique approach that doesn't always work.  I'd want to wait to give a rating until after I see Lobster.

Having seen Dogtooth and The Lobster, I can't wait for his next thing. That ambition coupled with that skill is a reasonably confident 8/10 for me.

And yeah, Christmas time is going to be tough to find a spare minute!

I think I'm going to use these listings to do a Directors Marathon.  In order - one film each for all of Group 1, then Group 2, etc.  I thought about doing it with the Directors Index but couldn't get my head around it.

But there are a lot of "big-name" directors whose works I've never seen because I just never think about them when I'm choosing a film to watch.
