indomitable, unmatchable giant is theater, and that only because so many of the great Greek masters' work is missing. As it stands, the only true solitary Titan in art is Shakespeare.
Film?
Several Italians, Brits, Americans, Russians (can you really state Tarkovsky is "greater" than Eisenstein?!?), one Brasilian, French, Japanese, and Scandinavians all vie for the title.
Kind of like choosing the greatest novelist, poet, painter, or composer. Can't reasonably be done.
