Went thru an Ang Lee kick a few years back and found his early movies about taiwanese-American immigrant/blended families reconciling their 2 cultures soooo so heartwarming. Brokeback and The Ice Storm (!!!) two of the most memorable and stylistically sophisticated movies I’ve ever seen. Dude has major heart and a very sweet sense of humor and always picks the sexiest people for main roles.
Antonioni…where do I start.. watch anything that has Monica vitti in it and Blow Up. if you’re not trying to pick apart how his surrealism maps onto Italian history and politics then just come for the sexy people , eerie music, and ridiculous cinematography
