These interviews cover the career to date of Neil Jordan (b. 1950),
easily the most renowned filmmaker working in contemporary Irish
cinema. Jordan began as a fiction writer, winning the distinguished
Guardian Fiction Prize for his very first book of short stories,
Night in Tunisia, in 1976. His film debut was made during the peak
of the Troubles in Ireland, and he addresses the sectarian violence
head-on in his first outing, Angel (1982). This film also marked
Jordan's long-time association with the actor Stephen Rea who has
appeared in nine of the director's films and is often seen as
Jordan's doppelganger. Angel was awarded the London Evening
Standard Most Promising Newcomer Award, the first of many
accolades. These include the London Critics Circle Award for Best
Film and Best Director for The Company of Wolves (1984), Best Film
at the BAFTAs, as well as an Academy Award for Best Screenwriter
for The Crying Game (1992), Best Film at the Venice Film Festival
for Michael Collins (1996), Best Director at the Berlin Film
Festival for The Butcher Boy (1997), and a BAFTA for Best
Screenplay for The End of the Affair (1999). The director continued
to publish works of fiction as well as writing the scripts for most
of his feature films, and in 2011 he produced a highly regarded
novel, Mistaken, set in Jordan's home turf of Dublin and featuring
characters who are duplicates of one another as well as mysterious
arrivals and departures at the home of the Irish author of Dracula,
Bram Stoker. The filmmaker has most recently produced, written, and
directed the television series The Borgias (starring Jeremy Irons)
and completed his fourteenth feature film, Byzantium, the story of
a mother and daughter vampire duo, recalling his earlier work on
Interview with the Vampire (1994). Carole Zucker, Charlotte,
Vermont, is professor of cinema at Concordia University in Montreal
and an instructor of acting workshops at the Flynn Center for
Education in Burlington, Vermont. Her previous books include The
Cinema of Neil Jordan: Dark Carnival and In the Company of Actors:
Reflections on the Craft of Acting.
