There are no good experimental female film directors from 40s and 50s

>implying her husband didn't do all the work

the patriarchy

Marie Menken > Maya Deren

Name 5 female directors. Hard mode: No Sofia Coppola or Katherine Bigelow

lady who directed Wonder Woman

Rita Azevedo Gomes
Marguerite Duras
Chantal Akerman
Ida Lupino
Danielle Huillet

They're all way better than Nolan or Villeneuve

>Jewish girl, daughter of a psychologist
>first director in the US to incorporate the surrealist movement into her films
do the math, her husband made experimental films but nothing like what Deren made

Ida Lupino's dope, she made the gayest noir film ever (in a good way)

>maya deren
>chantal akerman
literally the female equivalent of spielberg and lucas

>I browsed their Wikipedia pages once, that means I've watched their films!

A bunch of nones.

i've seen all the noteworthy ones. they are nowhere near as 'obscure' (even by Sup Forums's shit standards) enough to warrant a DUDE WIKIPEDIA LMAO response. Next you're going to tell me that Au Hasard Balthazar was a masterpiece but Spielberg's War Horse was a piece of shit? GTFO. Real avant garde auteurs exist and akerman/deren aren't one of them. Go back to letterboxd or /r/truefilm for simpleton garbage like that

Akerman's was born 7 years after Deren's first film came out, Deren died 7 years before Akerman's first film came out. You're a bellend, in case you thought I was just telling you an interesting coincidence.

...

You sound like a viral Letterboxd reviewer yourself.

how are deren and akerman even remotely like spielberg and lucas?
why do you implying spielberg is shit in one post and then praise war horse in the next?
this is full blown retard levels of bait

>and then praise war horse in the next?
i did not praise it
how many antonio reis movies have you seen? don askarian? jurgen rebel? leo hurwitz? joris ivens? i bet you havent even seen a peter gidal flick lol

3, 2, 0, 0, 11 and 3, respectively
Now fuck off, avant-teen.

>Likes Don Askarian
>Shitting on Akerman and Deren

Get better taste, nigger

*blocks your path*

How is your intro to film class user?

Marie Menken
It's not surrealism, it's a psycho-drama.

Deren did it first and better, don't act dumb now.

We're on Sup Forums and somehow no one has mentioned Mary Harron yet
