I can recommend a great German director - Wim Wenders.
In his works he explores American culture in some very interesting ways like his last two films were Land of Plenty (2004) where he takes on America post 911 and Don't Come Knocking (2005) is a story of a washed out western movie star.
He is also connected with the music world quite a bit; through his documentaries about American Blues - The Soul of a Man (2003) produced by our local Paul Allen, and Cuban music - Buena Vista Social Club (1999) you can get quite an intimate portrait of these amazing artists.
A good intro to his work is Paris, Texas (1984) or the amazing Wings of Desire (1987) later remade in Hollywood under the title City of Angels (1998) w/Nick Cage.
