David O. Russell - biography, date of birth, place of birth, filmography, clips, Director, Writer, Producer, Actor, Editor.
Born August 20, 1958, New York - American film director, producer, and screenwriter.
He made his first attempt to work in directing fiction films at the age of 36. The black comedy "Spanking the Monkey" (in the Russian box office - "Emancipation") touched upon the usually not discussed topic of sexual relations between a son and a mother, but, despite this, brought Russell the Audience Award at the Sundance Festival and the Independent Spirit Award for Best Debut Screenplay .
His next project "Flirting with Disaster" (in the Russian box office - "Do not wake a sleeping dog") developed the achieved success. Professional critics Rotten Tomatoes raised the film's overall rating to 86 out of 100 percent, and Chicago Sun-Times film columnist Roger Ebert noted, “Among the other virtues (of the film) is one that makes us unable to predict the next move. There are some laws of the genre in the development of such stories, but Russell breaks most of them. He allows his characters to leave the main storyline, which confuses even themselves. ”Gruvemuvestart
Russell's following films were released at fairly long intervals: Three Kings in 1999 and I ¦ Huckabees in 2004. If the first of them became extremely successful ($ 107 million in fees with a budget of 48 million), then the second practically failed at the box office ($ 20 million in fees with a budget of 22 million).
The 2010 film Fighter was started by director Darren Aronofsky, but later abandoned the project in order to work on Black Swan. At first, lead actor Mark Wahlberg was against bringing Russell as director, recalling the difficulties during the work on The Three Kings. However, he changed his mind after Christian Bale expressed interest in working with such a filmmaker. The film was nominated for 85 film awards in various categories and won 39 of them, including 2 Oscars for Best Supporting Actor.
