bergman and chaplin are obvious choices, but i think i'll hit home with jarmusch...
Jim is one of my favorite directors!
Glad that you like his work as well! :)

Honestly, these directors all deal with isolation masterfully this is actually a tough one to pick. You always just hope that people don't pick their favorite director and actually think about the question for a second. For now, my vote would go to Charles Chaplin, Ingmar Bergman or Yasujirô Ozu.
Although I respect and admire both Chaplin and Bergman, I may prefer Ozu over them in terms of dealing with the sense of alienation.
Btw, which other works would you consider the best, by Bergman, regarding this subject? (So that I would watch those!)

I really like this idea and the list is great, too. 'Tough choice - a lot of good ones. I'd probably vote for my favorite, Kieslowski.
Glad that you picked Kieslowski! Even if I admire almost every director's work on the list, I tend to like his or Wong-Kar-Wai's work more often!
Talking about the one who handled it the best, I would also consider him as a strong contender considering his Three Colors Trilogy and The Double Life of Veronique (which really blew me away!)
Would like to know more suggestions from your side.

You know, I was thinking that I had suggestions in the back of my mind -- but they wouldn't cooperate and come to the front, lol, and, at the time, I didn't have time to go through my own "seen movies" list on my laptop to get ideas. After the next couple of days, I'll have more time and give a look. Yours is a great list, though, and, I would guess, includes all of the best at dealing with loneliness and isolation.
My vote goes to Wes Anderson
Really liked Grand Budapest Hotel from him.
Really liked Grand Budapest Hotel from him.
I used to despise him at one time. But his works slowly started to grow on me. I loved Fantastic Mr Fox the most.
But while talking about this particular subject, I would prefer The Royal Tenenbaums over The Grand Budapest Hotel. It's not necessarily a better movie, but it holds a higher place in my heart, I guess!
