This issue is super unpopular, the master of all the film masters, know that the three are senior movie fans!
Since its birth, in just one hundred years, film has become the eighth art in addition to the seven major art categories of literature, music, dance, drama, painting, architecture and sculpture. This is inseparable from many directors and their films, and a good film director is also a good artist.
In this hundred years, there have been countless well-known directors and their representative works around the world, and the editor has roughly listed some influential and highly artistic performances. List the director's brief reviews, masterpieces, and major achievements as a small file. Due to the large number of people, the author published it in installments and tried to rank them by country or region. The ranking is in no particular order, nor does it indicate the level of artistic achievement, please don't mind too much!
Some of the information and comments come from the teaching plan of Teacher Fang Yingyuan on Time Network, thank you here!
MAJID MAJIDI, Iran, 1959----
Comments: "To be an artist, you must first be an explorer, discover and then understand life. - Majid Majidi
At the end of the 20th century, Iranian films attracted attention in the international film world with their own unique national customs combined with modern humanistic consciousness. It can be said that their films are the most natural and successful combination of Western film consciousness and their own national traditions. In the past few years, the Iranian corps represented by Abbas has grown stronger and stronger, and the old, middle-aged and young generations of directors have also shone in the international film world, jointly creating the glory of Iranian cinema today.
It seems that overnight, an Iranian film called "Little Shoes" was spread among fans all over the world, and its director was Majid Majidi. Majid Majidi is another Iranian director with great international influence who has risen rapidly after Abbas, and is one of the most outstanding of the third generation of Iranian directors.
Masterpieces: "Little Shoes", "The Color of Heaven", "Barron"

Michelangelo antonioni Italy 29 September 1912 ---- 31 July 2007
One sentence comment: The camera is placed in the middle of the scene far more than the close-up, moving slowly and frequently, and the lens allows for longer continuity by cutting. In this way, each picture will be more complex, and it can carry more information than the style in which the general small environment is constructed... In Antonioni's work we have to know his picture in detail, he forces all our attention through the continuous shot until the shot is cut...
Representative works: "Adventure", "Night", "Eclipse", "Magnification", "La Traviata Without Camellia", "Red Desert", "Days on the Clouds"

Poland 6 March 6, 1926 ---- October 9, 2016
In a word: His films are deeply integrated with Polish history, continuing the excellent traditions of neorealism and modernism, with a strong sense of morality and exquisite film skills, profoundly reflecting the suffering and struggle of Poland in the 20th century, in which the artist's conscience, reflection and social care are shown.

Ingmar Bergman Sweden July 14, 1918 ---- July 30, 2007
One-sentence comment: Since entering the film industry in the 1950s, with its simple image style, somber rational spirit and exploration of a series of issues such as life and death, spirit and flesh, spirit and existence, it has become one of the few people in the world film industry to include film as a serious philosophical topic. The rational spirit of Swedish cinema laid by Bergman coincided with the realistic style of the new Swedish cinema of the 60s, and greatly influenced French New Wave cinema.

Theo angelopoulos Greece 17 April 1935----

ANDREI TARKOVSKY SOVIET UNION 4 April 1932---- 29 December 1986
One sentence comment: At first glance, Tarkovsky's film seems like a miracle. Suddenly, I found myself in the doorway of a room that no one had ever given me the keys to. I've always wanted to go into this room and get a glimpse of Don O, but he's able to move freely in it. I feel inspired and inspired to have someone show me everything that I didn't know how to express for a long time. I think Tarkovsky was the greatest, he created a new cinematic language that captures life as a reflection, as a dream. --- Bergman
Representative works: "Nostalgia", "Mirror", "Andrei Rubryov", "Ivan's Childhood"
Achievements: Tarkovsky made only 5 short films and 7 feature films in his lifetime, although not many, but all of them are excellent.

The Festival de Cannes has 13 nominations and won 10 awards; one Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award.
ABBAS KIAROSTAMI Iran 22 June 1940----
One sentence commented: "The film begins with Griffiths and ends with Abbas." (Godard)
"It's hard to find the exact words to comment on Abbas's films, and you can understand how remarkable they are just by watching them. I was very sad when Rey died, and after watching Abbas's film, I felt that God had sent this man to replace Rey. Thank God! (Akira Kurosawa)
Representative works: "Where is my friend's house", "Under the olive tree", "The Taste of Cherries",

Pedro almodovar caballero Spain 24 September 1949----
Comments: Pedro Almodóvar's films mainly reflect the situation in Spain's post-Franco era. Since the 1980s, Almodóvar has created sensational, colorful images, and postmodern methods have explored everything from sex and violence to religion and even endangering social security. Sometimes shocking, sometimes contradictory. With his keen insight, Almodóvar sharply presented the latest and most interesting aspect of Spain to the audience. At the same time, his observations of women are subtle and convincing. With Spain's unique exuberance and magnificence, his work has become a symbol of the Mediterranean spirit of freedom, and he is recognized as a master of Spanish cinema (Sina Entertainment Review).
Masterpieces: "All About My Mother", "Return", "Say to Her", "Broken Hug", "Bad Education"
Achievements: Oscars, Cannes, Berlin, Venice, 142 international film awards nominations, 86 wins.
