Rating: 2.5/4 --
While I learned a lot I couldn't escape the frustrating knowledge had things been presented a bit more coherently I could have learned one heck of a lot more.

A better title for Great Directors would be Good Directors Who Returned My Calls.

Ismailos' 10 mini-profiles might have been better used as DVD extras or a cablecast introduction to an individual director's movie. It's not too late.

A pleasing if not surprising sampler of apercus, bon mots and clips.

You'd learn more just watching one of their films.

Standing unabashedly on the shoulders of giants, Angela Ismailos pays free-association homage to her favorite filmmakers in this engaging but scatter-shot documentary.

Product Description:
Ten of the world's great filmmakers discuss their art, their influences and their creative motivations in this documentary. In GREAT DIRECTORS, Angela Ismailos chats with a handful of talented and influential movie directors, among them Bernardo Bertolucci, Catherine Breillat, Liliana Cavani, Stephen Frears, Todd Haynes, Richard Linklater, Ken Loach, David Lynch, John Sayles, and Agnès Varda. Along with discussing the particulars of their work (often illustrated by relevant film clips), the directors also talk about artists and events that have made a lasting impact on them, films they hope to make in the future (all ten directors were still at work at the time the film was shot), issues that are important to them (creative and otherwise), and other filmmakers that they like (or hate). Ismailos' first feature film, GREAT DIRECTORS received its world premiere at the 2009 Venice Film Festival.
