10 Gamechanging Directors of the 2000s

While many directors made great films during this decade (Paul Thomas Anderson, Todd Haynes, Michel Gondry, Lynne Ramsay, to name a few), only a handful put out work that was not only consistently interesting but also urged us (sometimes against our will) to think about cinema differently. So, here are ten or so gamechanging directors of the decade. Honorable Mentions Chan-wook Park - Oldboy alone puts him on the list. The fact that his other work is equally audacious and vivacious makes him one of the most interesting filmmakers on the planet.
