NEIL JORDAN: PORTRAIT

Director: PHILIPPE PILARD

U.K. • FRANCE • 2006 • COLOUR • DIGITAL VIDEO • 52 MIN.


Neil Jordan is unarguably Ireland’s most versatile, prolific and successful film director. His work, both in terms of his fiction writing and film-making, has achieved international acclaim and recognition. Indeed, though he lives in Ireland and though his work often engages with Irish subjects, he addresses at once more universal and more intimate themes such as the interrelation of private sexuality and politics. This documentary portrait by director Philippe Pilard has contributions from regular Jordan collaborators such as Patrick McCabe, Stephen Rea, Gavin Friday and long-time producer Stephen Woolley. There’s also an in-depth interview with Jordan himself, who talks about his childhood, his writing and his approach to film-making. Plus short: Now Showing (14 min.).CLICK HERE TO BOOK
