Andrew Sarris's "Expressive Esoterica" Directors

Add to my lists | Print this list

From his 1968 book The American Cinema: Directors and Directions 1929-1968, these are "unsung directors with difficult styles or unfashionable genres or both. Their deeper virtues are often obscured by irritating idiosyncrasies on the surface, but they are generally redeemed by their seriousness and grace."
