Hi from Athens, Greece.

I think that Kusturica and Aggelopoulos (Greek director) are the best Balkan directors. I hope i'm not forgeting someone other great director. What's your opinion?

P.S. I'm not counting Elia Kazan and Costas Gavras because the first one had worked in the USA and he was greek-american (born in Istanbul and never worked in Greece) and the second one is filming mostly in France. But both of them are great directors anyway.

Best Balkan director is Goran Markovic. He made a lot good movies, more than anyone else. Try his masterpieces like "Nacionalna klasa", "Sabirni centar", "Vec vidjeno", "Majstori, majstori", "Specijalno vaspitanje" and "Variola vera". Sadly, after 1989, he stopped to make good movies. I found "Vec vidjeno" to be his best movie.
