honorable mention: lars von trier. he doesn't stray from traditional narratives, but he's reinvented his process so many times (with a lot of hits and misses along the way) that i find something admirable about his work.

I would say that Tarkovsy is experimental. He may not be anything too crazy now, because his style has influenced so many people, but I would say that back then he was rather earth-shattering.

No, generally he's admitted as film theorist who was mainly captivated with metaphysical themes but at this time his method of approach was dialectical. We can't say for each director who disclaims conventionalism that he's experimental.
shareI would say yes. His use of the long take was revolutionary back when Rublev was released. Tarkovsky and other Russian directors (German, Konchalovsky, Mikhalkov, Klimov, Sheptiko...) were against Soviet Montage, and wanted to extend cinematic moments beyond mere seconds, or fractions of seconds.
