Man, so hard to not go with Mike Mills, who directed my clear favorite of the year.  Or Miranda, who directed one of the most visually dynamic and meta-theatrical films I've seen in a long time!  (Though I'm giving it screenplay, as so much of that divine work was established on the page.)

But a) I like to spread the wealth :), and b) Tragedy was SO well composed visually - I honestly think it will stand the test of time tremendously, and bear comparison to age-old classics by the likes of Bergman and Kurosawa.  I so appreciate how the visual palate and tone functioned in conjunction with each other, and this is all on account of him.  Check it out if you haven't!!!
