Vulture releases its list of the 100 most influential Hollywood directors

Vulture magazine has published its ranking of the 100 most influential Hollywood directors. British filmmaker Christopher Nolan claimed the top spot.

The magazine described Nolan as “a filmmaker who embodies prestige, mainstream popularity, intellectual craftsmanship, and global influence.” Second place went to Ryan Coogler, director of Sinners. According to Vulture, he is one of the most sought-after filmmakers in the American film industry today. Denis Villeneuve, director of the Dune films, ranked third.

The publication noted that influence in today's film industry is not limited to directors of big-budget blockbusters. Filmmakers behind independent and festival cinema also make significant contributions to the industry’s development. That is why Paul Thomas Anderson earned a place in the top ten.

In addition, Greta Gerwig was the only woman among the ten most influential directors. She ranked fourth, ahead of renowned filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Jordan Peele.
