Neil Jordan biography

Image
Neil Jordan biography Neil Jordan is an Irish film director and screenwriter. Jordan had his breakthrough in 1986 with the drama Mona Lisa, set in London's underworld. The film brought Jordan to Hollywood, where he directed High Spirits (1988) and the comedy We're No Angels (1989), although without much success. In 1992 he returned to Europe and filmed his own short story, The Crying Game, a very well-constructed and complex love story set against the backdrop of the conflict in Northern Ireland. Jordan has since shown his versatility with Interview With the Vampire (1994) based on Anne Rice's (b. 1941) novel, the large-scale Michael Collins (1996) about the tumultuous political events of 1920s Ireland, the gangster film The Good Thief (2002), a remake of Jean-Pierre Melville's Bob le flambeur (1955) and the tragicomic portrayal of a young transvestite in the 1960s and 1970s in Breakfast on Pluto (2005). last updated October 2022

Spike Lee biography Spike Lee, etc. Shelton Jackson Lee, born in 1957, was an American film director, screenwriter, and actor. Lee, who has a background in the black intellectual middle class, revolves his films around racial issues and the identity of black Americans, often in a vital and energetic film style. Among his most important films is the familiar story She's Gotta Have It (1986), the racism drama Do The Right Thing (1989), and the biographical Malcolm X (1992), which was criticized for its nuanced portrayal of the black civil rights activist, and the complex crime film Clockers (1995). With Summer of Sam (1999), the race theme took a back seat for the first time, and with 25th Hour (2002), Lee became the first American mainstream director to deal with life in New York in the shadow of the 2001 terrorist attack; Inside Man (2006) is a more conventional heist film. last updated October 2022
