Dünyanın 84 ülkesinden 368 sinema yazarına kadın yönetmenler tarafından yönetilen en iyi filmleri soran BBC Culture, sinema yazarlarından gelen cevapları derleyerek “Kadın Yönetmenler Tarafından Yönetilen En İyi 100 Film” başlıklı bir liste hazırladı.

Jane Campion (The Piano, 1993), Agnès Varda (Cléo from 5 to 7, 1962) ve Chantel Akerman (Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, 1975) gibi usta yönetmenlerin filmleri ilk sıralara yerleşirken, Céline Sciamma, Chloé Zhao, Jennifer Kent gibi son yıllarda adından övgüyle söz ettiren yönetmenlerin filmleri de listede yer buldu.

Yakın zamanda kaybettiğimiz Agnès Varda, 6 filmiyle listenin en popüler yönetmeni oldu. Varda’yı Kathryn Bigelow, Claire Denis, Lynne Ramsay ve Sofia Coppola takip etti.
Açıklanan 100 film arasında 2019’dan iki film de yer aldı. İlki dünya prömiyerini yaptığı Sundance Film Festivali’nde övgü toplayan ve Dünya Sineması bölümünde Jüri Büyük Ödülü’nü kazanan The Souvenir, ikincisi ise, Cannes’da çok beğenilen ve eleştirmenlerce “Birinci sınıf bir başyapıt… Bu yıl prömiyerini yapan en kusursuz eser” sözleriyle övülen Portrait of a Lady on Fire. (Alev Almış Bir Genç Kızın Portresi).
