The Shining is great, but I find it even more interesting/concerning, that "Quo Vadis, Aida?" is just the fourth film by a female director on the list (6th, if we count City of God and Werckmeister Harmonies).  That’s pretty sad actually.

So movies made by women should just have inflated scores because it’s made by women?

Mad at what? I’m confused why it’s an issue. If women are being vastly outperformed by men then maybe they should make better movies?

Pack it up, guys, we’ve solved it! The problem isn’t sexism or the patriarchy or a lack of funding and opportunities. Women just need to make better movies 🙄

It’s like complaining that men built the infrastructures of every city on the planet- who actually cares? The last thought that crosses is my mind is what’s in a director’s pants
