Neil Jordan (1950 - ) is an Irish director who, after having enjoyed some success as an author of moody and turbulent tales, was discovered by director John Boorman, who hired the young writer as a creative consultant for "Excalibur" (1981) and later financed his first feature film, "Angel" (1982). ). He crossed over to Hollywood with a pair of misfire comedies, "High Spirits" (1988) and "We're No Angels" (1989), which brought him to Ireland. Returning home, he wrote and directed the lyrical coming-of-age drama "The Miracle" (1991), which found him in his non-comedic comfort zone. Free to indulge his passion for unconventional love stories underpinned by themes of violence and death, Jordan directed "The Crying Game" (1992), which earned him an Academy Award and the honor of creating one of most famous plot twists in the history of cinema. Returning to Hollywood, he directed the most commercially successful "Interview with the Vampire" (1994) before directing a long-running passion project about the titular divisive Irish hero, "Michael Collins" (1996). Along with other acclaimed works such as “The Butcher Boy” (1997) and “The Good Thief” (2003), Jordan, at his best, made provocative films that combined stylistic freshness with philosophical, social and sexual dimensions.
