I don't think there are currently any female filmmakers that I could consider “great directors” (or whatever kind of silly distinction one would make)... I guess a case could be made for Duras, Menken, Deren, Von Trotta, Lupino, Rainer, Akerman, Benning, maybe even Elaine May in the one-shot category (for Mikey and Nicky)... and Lyne Ramsey and Claire Denis are two of the greatest filmmaker’s working today, but I can’t think of any other female filmmakers that might be nearing that “great director” cannon (for being deeply influential or whatever kind of criteria you’d judge that with)... any thoughts?
