Sjöberg hardly counts, as 46 was the year where everybody won. As a Dane, I won't vote for August, plus Pelle the Conqueror is really good (he probably has the worst filmography of the directors in question, though) Kosturica, I think, I've only seen one of his films, and I can't even remember which one, but it really annoyed me.

kusturica is so rad

I've only seen Black Cat, White Cat of his, but it's awesome.

haneke.....not especially fond but fair enough given their remit, though probably la pianiste or caché would be better choicessjoberg......idk what this isdardennes.....anyone describing these bien-pensant plodders as 'bressonian' needs a screwdriver to the lungscoppola.....excellent because it was for apocalypse now / the conversation rather than any of his other films, he makes nice wine too apparently august.....foreign film oscar trash presumablyimamura.....less formally interesting than shinoda, teshigahara, suzuki, but more 'socially engaged' etckusturica.....need to watch one of these i suppose

to really appreciate how bad so many of the palme d'or choices are, you need to view the nominations

idk if Haneke ever designs his films so that ppl can look back fondly on. All I remember were the gasps of horror at Majid's suicide in Hidden.
imamura.....less formally interesting than shinoda, teshigahara, suzuki, but more 'socially engaged' etc
I'm never sure what the criteria for films receiving Palme d'Or -- many of the films can be seen as either 'formally interesting' or 'socially engaged' depending on the fashion. Some can be both, some are just for laughs (Michael Moore, etc.)

I kiss you.
I haven't seen any August, but "Oscar-style respecable" actually is the worst kind of movie you can make.

The Eel, Imamura's second Palme D'Or winner, is not a great movie imho, and I'm puzzled as to why it won the prize (dunno what other films it was up against)
― Ward Fowler, Monday, 5 November 2012 10:04 (eleven years ago) link
Shared the prize with Taste of Cherry.

A Taste of the Eel.

I haven't seen anything by 4 of these directors but it's hard to imagine them being worse than haneke. (still not voting)
