The three best directors working today are hardly known.

4.254.143.19

They are Abbas Kiarostami (Iran), Fridrik Thor Fridriksson (Iceland), and Hirokazu Koreeda (Japan).
Unlike some "arty" directors, these three filmmakers are "traditional" in that they primarily are storytellers. Also, they do not adhere to radical camera techniques, avant garde use of music, or film stock treatments.
Like artists of old, it is their vision, the power of the story itself and the skill in its telling (the seeming disappearance of a narrative force), that carries films such as Cold Fever, The Wind Will Carry Us, and Nobody Knows to the summit of modern films.
If you are unfamiliar with their works, I envy you.
You have wonderful discoveries ahead.
