EinfinetI just watched Dancer in the Dark a week ago and while it solidified my view of him as a GREAT director, it feels impossible to praise too much given Björk’s comments on her behind the scenes abuse. Especially when her performance is so central to my love for the movie…
With that being said, I wonder how many director’s have gotten as many singular performances from individual actresses for different movies compared to him?
• Björk in Dancer in the Dark
• Charlotte Gainsbourg in Antichrist
• Nicole Kidman in Dogville
• Emily Watson in Breaking the Waves
• Kirsten Dunst in MelancholiaI still need to see Nymphomaniacs & The Idiots but that is a stellar top 5 for film performances that can probably compete w any other list of director-actress listings (except for perhaps Bergman, but I feel like Björk and Gainsboroug enter another realm of performance)
I was editing my post to add to what happened to Björk on the DitD set, but the France-Poland game heated up.
You're absolutely right about von Trier. I can't think of anyone else getting masterful performances like that.
Perhaps I'd put him over Bergman, considering that Bergman was practically together with all of his leading actresses at one point or another, which unevens playing field if you were to compare the two, although Bergman the director and Bergman the husband/boyfriend were different people kind of from what I've read.

Holiday which was made by the closest thing to an openly gay director at the time who was basically one of the gals vs Vertigo made by creepy svengali who would terrorize his actresses
though we were living in the Jeanne Dielman eraLOL I still gotta watch Holiday myself! once I’m finished with everything I haven’t seen from the BFI

I really don't care for Rashomon that much really
happy to see it drop a bit on the listthrone of blood, hidden fortress and sanjuro (yes, I put this above yojimbo and I put fistful of dollars over yojimbo, come get these hands if you wanna talk about it)

the absolute best macbeth adaptation, I haven't seen the coens' yet though
the swordplay is excellent even with that limited research they had in the 70s

'The Scottish play' comes from a superstition that it's bad luck to say the play's name in a playhouse

I had macbeth as my 2nd favorite polanski, but after seeing bitter moon I literally couldn't believe that polanski cranked out such a masterpiece in the 90s. so the top 3 is chinatown, bitter moon, macbeth

coens was amazing but i still think im giving it to roman. they shifted all the evil onto macbeth instead of sharing it with lady macbeth as usual which felt weird.
amazing choreography i thought it was Bob Anderson but i guess not
