Tags: film, auteur, adjectives, esque, fellinesque, bergmanesque

You know a director has a distinct style when an adjective is created to represent that style. Here is a list of those adjectives and what they mean.

	BERGMANESQUE (Ingmar Bergman) - a bleak psychological chronicle of people living in a world that God has abandoned
	FELLINESQUE (Federico Fellini) - operatic and surrealistic fantasies, or the mixture of brio and disgusted view of society plus busty blondes and catholic references
	HITCHCOCKIAN (Alfred Hitchcock) - smart psychological thriller
	WELLESIAN (Orson Welles) - strong visual style
	ALTMANESQUE (Robert Altman) - rambling, character driven
	GODARDESQUE (Jean-Luc Godard) - nervous tics and mannerisms that produce intriguing collages but never a totally complete vision
	ANTONIONIESQUE (Michelangelo Antonioni) - the world as a chessboard, full of malignant surfaces and doomed figures
