| Gus Van Sant | |
| Gus Van Sant (b. 1952, Louisville, USA) worked with Roger Corman before gaining attention with the film "Mala Noche" (1995) set in the gay world. He demonstrated his ease with visual shortcuts and provocation in the many films inc "My Own Private Idaho" (1991). After "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" (1994) he turned towards more conventional movies, beginning with "To Die For" (1995). With "Elephant" (2003; Palme d'Or at Cannes) he returned to the more personal strand in his work. PARANOID PARK is his eleventh full-length feature. |  |
