ANGEL

Neil Jordan

Born 1950 in Sligo, Neil Jordan is established as one of the world's leading film directors. His work is distinguished by an almost magical realism, and sometimes surrealism, with a constant preoccupation with sexuality and violence, and the divisions of modern Ireland. Studying at UCD, he became a novelist, winning The Guardian Fiction Prize for his collection of short stories Night in Tunisia. He scripted two dramas Traveller (1981) directed by Joe Comerford, and the tv film Night in Tunisia directed by Pat O'Connor. He directed the making of John Boorman's Excalibur (1981), before making his feature debut with Angel (1982).
