LF_Celine, finally, a second vote for Julio Medem! :)

I also agree with Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Abbas Kiarostami.  Another name to throw in is Aleksandr Sokurov - I noticed that his name or filmography doesn't even show up on foreignfilms.com.  That's a shame.  "The Second Circle" and "Mother and Son" are quite visually breathtaking films to behold.
