30 Film Directors Who Have Never Made a Bad Movie
Recently, we looked at 30 filmmakers who made only one well-reviewed movie over their entire careers, and then 25 great directors who missed out on perfection by just one film. But there is an even more elite group of film directors who have received critical acclaim for every single film they ever directed. In other words, they've never received anything but a green Metascore for one of their features.
How many of those directors can you guess? Check them all out in the gallery above. Note that we only looked at directors who have made at least five films since 1980.
The only director from Argentina on our list, Trapero is perhaps best known on the festival circuit, where he has been picking up awards starting with his 1999 debut. He is currently putting the finishing touches on his latest film, The Quietude, starring Edgar Ramírez and Bérénice Bejo.
