10 Times Great Directors Left Very Long Gaps Between Films

In the hundred-mile-an-hour modern world we expect everyone to be at full throttle all the time and things are no different for film directors. Interviews about a new film regularly conclude with a question about what they're working on next, and film festival programmes are eagerly anticipated to see if our favourite filmmaker has a fresh picture ready.
Sometimes, though, directors work at a far slower pace, or struggle to get a succession of films made before returning triumphantly to screens.
Terrence Malick
Isao Takahata
Sergio Leone
Stanley Kubrick
David Lynch
Kenneth Lonergan
Lynne Ramsay
Jacques Tati
Lee Chang-dong
Charlie Kaufman
