Live Poll: Favorite Delphine Seyrig Role

@Jessica​ 

done.

a few of these directo names have multiple famous directors with the same last name, so it hard to guess which one you are referring to

Not at all.

Seyrig well-known for her hypnotic voice was dubbed, "The Royal Voice" by some

Worse than the current text.

But yes, "critic" should be "critics", "praises" probably "praise".

Plus, a few of these director names have multiple famous directors with the same last name, so it hard to guess which one you are referring to with a simple last name.

 To a cinephile, it should be obvious who I am alluding to. And this poll is clearly destined to people who have a certain knowledge of world cinema (otherwise how would they know Delphine Seyrig).

@cinephile​ Sure, it is obvious to you, but you are writing to an audience of more than one. It is better to not assume than to assume too much. Are you so sure, that everyone of the two hundred people who take this poll are going to know every one of these directors by a single name alone?  Plus, it is not like, we are talking about Ford, Hitchcock, Bergman, Fellini or Spielberg here. Plus, it seems inconsistent, when it is necessary to explain you are refering to Luis Buñuel, but  not necessary to explain you referring to Chantal Akerman, when Robert Ackerman is just as a famous a director.

Instead of arguing, I could have made the modification, the reason I did not is because naming the directors' whole name doubles the length of the enumeration. The focus  of the poll is on Delphine Seyrig's roles not on the directors she worked with. Otherwise, I could include Jacques Demy, Alain Resnais, Harry Kumel, etc. I included the links to their IMDb page so one can click on the hyperlink if he wants to learn more about one of the listed directors. 

Note:

I do not know where or in what circumstances Robert Allan Ackerman is nearly as popular as Chantal Akerman. Chantal Akerman is one of the great female director. In the latest Sight and Sound poll, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles was voted the greatest film of all time. Meanwhile, Robert Allan Ackerman is virtually unknown.

This forum's ignorance of World Cinema is why I withdrew from Jessica's IMDb Poll Board: Greatest Director of All Time. I cannot participate in a poll where there is place for the Russo brothers, but not for Truffaut.

@cinephile​ I understand, for me it more about effectively communicating. I think you could have changed the opening "The actress and feminist activist Delpine Seyrig..." to just "Actress Delpine Seyrig ..." and added the three first names plus a fourth full name and kept it the same length. Plus, it accomplishes what you want in promoting those directors more and being part of the solution.

I am not saying who is more talented, as there are different types of talent, but I would agree there is no contest between the two on pushing the boundaries of cinema. However, whether you like it not these other directors (R. Ackerman 5 Emmy noms, 2 Golden Globe noms) are probably going to be more famous, more commercially successful, etc. (and for some it is simply a function of where they born ie. larger country vs. smaller country). Like it or not, that is always it has been, and likely will always will be, true talent is rarely recognized in its own lifetime.

Inerestingly, I actually had the opposite take and the selections in Jessica's poll far exceeded my expectation and were far more more enlightened (40/60) for a favorite director poll than I would have expected (10/90) split. IMHO, I would have more shocked, if the Russo Bros. didn't get selected, than that someone selected them as their favorites out of thirty selections (after all, it wasn't a best or greatest question).

It is depressing. I can watch art films, I can promote them. But, it feels like I am paddling in the void. I do not know what to do to anymore to promote pure art. It continues to exist, but the place to talk about it vanishes (or are controlled by capitalism). More and more, the aesthetical pleasure of art is something that one has to internalized. It's eating me up inside. I wonder if I should not stop 😥, humanity is not ready for the truth offered true art and philosophy. I should focus on math, The only truth accessible to human (currently).
