after developing his insecure timid yet
intellectual character while doing
stand-up comedy Allen began writing and
directing films but didn’t find
widespread praise until 1977 with Annie
Hall for which he won the Academy Award
for Best Director is it the old Groucho
Marx joke that that I’m I just don’t

directorial style included the insertion
of his personality and vision into every
aspect of the film what a set up to work
bleep one brother in jail two others

number six Francis Ford Coppola I want
to make him an offer he can’t refuse the
son of an editor composer and songwriter
it’s safe to say that Francis Ford

chromosomes this moment you’re the only
one that can completely trust one of
only eight filmmakers to win two Palme
d’Or awards from the Cannes Film
Festival Coppola is one of the most
decorated directors in history 14

Tumulty Akira Kurosawa also had a
distinctive cinematic eye shooting many
of his subjects from a distance using a
long lens and this created a more

landscape
for asawa has gone on to influence and
inspire many directors such as Sergio
Leone
number four Federico Fellini I’ve got to

as a director Federico Fellini
understood movies as moving pictures and
used the medium to bring many
neo-realist and baroque images to his
films he paired his more abstract images
with stunning landscapes and risque plot
lines many revolving around sexual
politics and religion
I got she will play I got written in the
tobacco shot at the girl in the circuit
which one and ice went into the belly
