One of my all time favourite directors, whose work includes The Commitments and Midnight Express.

Mississippi Burning was the first of his films I ever saw. Very powerful film. I believe he was barely in his 20’s when he made it.

I wonder why he quit making films in 2003, and what he did during his last 17 years? Artists rarely seem to simply quit working and quietly retire.
