The Ascent (1977) - Larisa Shepitko
Olivier, Olivier (1992) - Agnieszka Holland
Europa Europa (1990) - Agnieszka Holland
Mädchen in Uniform (1931) - codirected by Leontine Sagan
Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962) - Agnes Varda
Vagabond (1985) - Agnes Varda
What else? I was just thinking it's oddly been decades since I've seen and really loved a foreign-language film directed by a female. So it's a mix: your all time favorites and recent favs too.
I've seen some from Claire Denis but didn't love 'em. Never seen a Lina Wertmüller. Gotta check out more Susanne Bier, Céline Sciamma, Lucrecia Martel (really looking forward to Zama which is in US theaters right now) etc. Recently, I guess my favs are My Happy Family, Toni Erdmann, and Things to Come... then there's the pretty good but flawed Breathe (Melanie Laurent) and The Innocents (Anne Fontaine). Those are the ones coming to mind.....

You named my faves (Varda, Holland) - The Angry Harvest is one of Agnieszka Holland's all time best too imo. In Darkness (2011) was a good comeback for her.
I'm sure plenty of people will recommend Chantal Akerman - she has a loyal following - Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

I wouldn’t list it as an all time fav but I quite like Varda’s Le Bonheur.

Have seen Wings by Shepitko? Yes but a while ago. I'm really kinda in love with the opening shot - you think it's an exterior shot but the camera dollys back and we're in a shop, then a shadowed figure emerges as if in front of projection but then he's lit. It's a really interesting effect. Otherwise I remember it's a very wistful, elegiac film, there's a beautiful rain sequence, and quite a poetic ending. I didn't love it, but maybe I should rewatch it.... |

I will have to go with The Ascent. Just a remarkable piece of work.

I'm sure you've seen Cavani's The Night Porter, but I noticed it hadn't been mentioned yet. It's in English, but it's an Italian film.
