Raśl Ruiz :(

Damn.  RIP.  Three Crowns of the Sailor, The Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting, and City of Pirates blew my mind.  We lost a very unique filmmaker.

Janusz Morgenstern, director of several fine films that are sadly little known outside Poland - but his greatest contribution to world cinema is probably the scene with the burning vodka shots in Ashes and Diamonds, which he devised when working as its assistant director.

Discovered him in Spider-Man, liked him in Charley, but my favorite role of his was as Holden's friend in Joshua Logan's Picnic. Also great in Three Days of the Condor.
