I love Carpenter too, but @SorosFootSoldier already covered that. Every one of Edward Yang's movies are perfect and I love them. The long, wide shots are just delicious. Nuri Ceylan scratches that itch, too.
If you end up vibing with Yang a lot, check out some of Ozu's later works (who I also love). Lots of similarities there (sans the weird obsession Yang has with crime).

looking up Yang i found Yi Yi right on the youtube, might hit that in a bit. Never heard of Ceylan, what would you recommend from him?
Oooohhhh Yi Yi I think is his best work. Just fantastic.
For Ceylan I'd start with either Once Upon a Time in Anatolia or Winter Sleep. Both of them are on Mubi, which has a 30 day free trial.
cool cool cool thanks for the recc
