Edward Berger

Edward Berger is one of the most exciting directors working today. All Quiet on the Western Front was a gut-punch of mud, grey light, and moral exhaustion, and it rightly earned him the BAFTA for Best Direction. Then he pivoted to Conclave and built tension out of whispers and corridors instead of trenches. That range, the ability to deliver world-class work in both German and English, is rare. Trained at NYU's Tisch and rooted in Wolfsburg, he carries a European seriousness into mainstream cinema. I genuinely look forward to whatever he does next; few filmmakers feel this assured.
