Jean-Louis Jorge
Info
Jean-Louis Jorge (Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, 1947 – ibid., March 13, 2000) was a film director and screenwriter and television director and producer. Jean-Louis Jorge possessed an exceptional, refined, and extravagant talent whose predilection for the kitsch and transgressive places him, from a contemporary perspective, as a precursor to Almodóvar's cinema. His explosive mix of Caribbean passion, Hollywood glamour, and the histrionic flair of the French school resulted in a body of work that combines the anecdotal with the surreal. Ahead of his time, his unusual creations have acquired cult status… he is one of the most revered auteurs in his country, possessing an unusual and daring vision that blends Latin temperament with a universal vocation.
