Search found 3 matches: Lynne Ramsay

I'm going to be really strict here and not count some favorites of mine who emerged in the late 90s like Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Jafar Panahi, Lynne Ramsay, Harmony Korine, Shane Meadows etc. I'm sticking strictly to millennials.

My top three:
1. Asghar Farhadi (most definitely first place, actually a contender for my all-time favorite director)
2. Cristian Mungiu
3. Calvin Reeder

Other great or at least highly promising ones: Andrei Zvyagintsev, J. C. Chandor, Nina Paley, Sylvain Chomet, Andrew Bujalski, Laszlo Nemes, Radu Jude, Joachim Trier, Marjane Satrapi, Greg McLean, Clio Barnard, Oren Moverman...

can't help but fondly veto reichardt as river of grass is so much fun.

soderbergh balances the centuries - sex, lies is so '90s (oh, '89*), and the knick is very not.

lynne ramsay just sort of popped her head into this century. i think of her as late '90s/

I want to see The Duke of Burgundy. In my eyes.

Filmmakers with multiple notable films that have started since 2000 that are very good:

Alfredson, Tomas (Let the Right One In, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy)*
Bong Joon-Ho (Memories of Murder, The Host, Mother)
Castaing-Taylor, Lucien (Leviathan, Sweetgrass)
Dominik, Andrew (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly)
Glazer, Johnathan (Under the Skin, Birth)*
Green, David Gordon (George Washington, All the Real Girls)*
Kaufman, Charlie (Synecdoche New York, Anomalisa)
Lanthimos, Giorgos (Dogtooth, Alps, The Lobster)*
Madsen, Michael (Into Eternity, The Visit)*
Oppenheimer, Joshua (The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence)*
Paravel, Verena (Leviathan, Foreign Parts)
Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Stoker)*
Perry, Alex Ross (The Color Wheel, Listen Up Philip, Queen of Earth)
Strickland, Peter (Berberian Sound Studio, The Duke of Burgundy)
Weerasethakul, Apatchitpong (Tropical Malady, Syndromes and a Century, Uncle Boonmee)*
West, Ti (The House of the Devil, The Innkeepers)
Wright, Edgar (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim, The World's End)

* = meets your criteria for me

The 2000 cut-off seems arbitrary, as it ignores people who just started a few years earlier but have produced their best stuff in the 21st century: Paul Thomas Anderson, Spike Jonze, Noah Baumbach, Kim Ki-Duk, Kim Ji-Woon, Wes Anderson, Nicholas Winding Refn, Lynne Ramsay, the Dardennes, Kelly Reichardt, Jafar Panahi, off the top of my head.

If I had to put money down on which will have the most relevance in the future, I'd go Weerasethakul, Kaufman, Perry.
