Good unknown directors - Pick of the week

[catbuglah]

I came across this good relatively-unknown director - Christian Duguay. I don't know much about him, he did 'Art of War' which I haven't seen - all I know is that I picked up his 'Joan of Arc' DVD at a department store for $8 (it was a TV mini-series, I think) and it's a visually stunning tour-de-force. There's a bit of a penchant for Wellesian shots - dramatically effective upshots and lots of stylish inventiveness with lighting and what have you...

For kicks and newtons - some random screen grabs of a somewhat Wellesian flavour from the first twenty-odd minutes or so -
