Discover the iconic personalities behind cult classic films, from David Lynch and Roger Corman to Sofia Coppola, Gordon Parks, John Waters, and more.
Whether pioneering in their craft, fiercely unique, or critically divisive, cult filmmakers come in all shapes and guises. Some gain instant fame or notoriety while many others remain anonymous until a cultural shift propels their work into the limelight.
In Cult Filmmakers, Ian Haydn-Smith picks a selection of brilliant directors you should know—from industry heavyweights like Tim Burton and David Lynch, to brilliant but lesser-known auteurs such as Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ana Lily Amirpour. With biographical background and critical insight, you'll discover the minds behind such beloved features as Melancholia, Easy Rider, Lost in Translation and more.
