Building upon his writing career, Neil Jordan's films have elaborated
on, then extended beyond, his earlier novels and stories focusing
on sexuality, death, identity, and the generational shifts within
his native Ireland. Mingling the commonplace and the fantastic,
Jordan's
scripts and direction have traversed myth, history, and highly
personal experience, exemplified by his earliest triumphs with
In the Company of Wolves, a decidedly adult, violent reinvention
of Little Red Riding Hood, and Mona Lisa, an atmospheric film
noir. Critical acclaim and box-office success has enabled Jordan
to graduate to Hollywood backing, budgets, and stars, yet he continues
to imbue his work with thoughtful craft and creative daring, notably
in gripping, modern variations on gothic themes.
