Abel Ferrara
Abel Ferrara (New York, USA, 1951) is an independent director and he is always surrounded by trusted co-workers, who have followed him throughout his career. In 1979 he directs his first full-length film, The Driller Killer, but his most important successes can be traced to the 1990s: King of New York (1990) and Bad Lieutenant (1992). After letting himself be tempted by Hollywood, he returned to extremist and independent cinema, obsessed with the problem of sin, guilt and redemption. Among his latest films, Pasolini (2014) and the documentary Piazza Vittorio (2017).
