A new month is almost here, which means it’s time to select the next director for First Five coverage. In case you’ve missed the last two installments (Kathryn Bigelow and Steven Soderbergh), this is an ongoing monthly series exclusive for paid subscribers where I write about the first five movies of acclaimed directors.
Last time there were only four options, but I figured that if the name of the series is “First Five” then there should be five options. That means I’ve brought in the three previous options who weren’t selected (Peter Weir, Jane Campion, Wong Kar Wai) and added two more: Nicolas Roeg and Agnès Varda. Also, if a candidate goes five months without being selected, I’ll just assume there’s not enough interest, and I’ll replace them with another filmmaker.
Alright, onto the voting! You have until next Monday to make your selection.
