is he, dare I say it, the greatest living American autheur?

>>85799944
Jarmusch is better. Has been for 30 years.

No. He is pretenxioux, the very definition of, *

No. He's been pointing his camera at things he thinks look pretty for a long time now and he's become very good at it but his movies are still an insubstantial affair.

lierally kindergarten level

>autheur
it's spelled author, and he is a director, ameridumb

>>85799944
That's James Cameron

>malick
>jarmusch
>lynch
relevant directors you should be familiar with whose movies are essentially literally and unironically shit, especially this decade

James Grey is a superior American auteur.

>>85800765
It's spelled auteur, newfriend.
>>85800354
Stop watching trash, Malick's films are full of substance.

>>85800765
not if he's making authorial cinema

>>85799977
He was in an episode of zombie Simpsons
>>85800183
He was a recurring character on the Cleveland Show
Instantly disqualification for both of them

>>85800886
he is still a director even if he does make authorial cinema (but also an author)
>>85800878
>It's spelled auteur, newfriend.
go to >>>/lit/ , lurk there a bit and then tell me it's called an auteur and not an author again

>>85800945

Far and away, yes. He's on a whole nuther level.

PTA, Wes, Jarmusch and others are kino to be certain, but Malick has transcended the medium to provide ethereal, poetic, existential, religious, deeply felt and beautifully rendered art.

He's also created a wholly new form of cinematic storytelling with his recent few films.

>>85802075
I completely agree. I feel like TM makes his films as a genuine gift to the gods as a sign of gratitude and humbleness, rather than as a way to prove himself as a good artist.
They're just so detached from a human ego, it's impossible not to like them.

>They're just so detached from a human ego
Absolutely, and detached from popular culture as well.

he's good, but he's no Korine.

I loved The Thin Red Line. That scene when they assault bunkers, holy shit, few captured war that well.

this guy for me is the most interesting american director alive right now...

>le can't write characters for shit and instead write soulless cardboard cutouts to bounce convoluted plots off of directorman

This >>85803600

His head is so far up his own ass it's ridiculous

You two faggots don't know shit about cinema...
He literally makes masterpieces on a penny budget man and is completely anti-Hollywood in all regards.
What more do you want?

>>85804350
>is completely anti-Hollywood in all regards

nope, sorry
his stuff might not be as approachable, but it's definitely Hollywoodistic in nature. once you build the blueprint for his convoluted plots there's nothing else worth salvaging from his movies. he knows nothing about characters or what makes a story worthwhile and rich.
you need to watch more films

No. Lynch & Scorsese are still alive, for one thing. And he's not even at the top of his own generation, Joel & Ethan Coen are better.
