Author Comments: 

How it goes: Here above are some well-known directors. The aim of this list is to qualify their style through some adjectives. In your posts, if you want to contribute, you will just give me some adjectives that describe this and/or this director's style (NOT the quality of his/her work).

e.g.:

Director John Smith

provocative
experminetal
.
.
.

OK, let us begin and see how far we'll come.

P.S.: Of course, you can suggest your own directors.
