Usually, the first feature film for a director announces their uniqueness and you can tell that they have something special. When I saw these films when they came out, I knew these were unique and special directors that needed paying attention to:
Danny Boyle - Shallow Grave
Quentin Tarantino - Reservoir Dogs
Christopher Nolan - Memento
Shane Carruth - Primer
Darren Aronofsky - Pi
Jean-Pierre Jeunet - Delicatessen
Wachowski Brothers - Bound
Wes Anderson - Bottle Rocket
Coen Brothers - Blood Simple
