Question: Are the directors of both films The Big Combo and Valhalla Rising (film) from the same country?

The film stars Cornel Wilde, Richard Conte and Brian Donlevy, as well as Jean Wallace, who was Wilde's wife at the time. The Big Combo is a 1955 American film noir crime film directed by Joseph H. Lewis and photographed by cinematographer John Alton, with music by David Raksin. It also included the final screen appearance of actress Helen Walker. <SEP> The film takes place around the year 1096 AD and follows a Norse warrior named One- Eye and a boy as they travel with a band of Christian Crusaders by ship in the hopes of finding the Holy Land. Valhalla Rising is a 2009 English- language Danish adventure drama film directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, co-written by Refn and Roy Jacobsen, and starring Mads Mikkelsen. Instead, they find themselves in an unknown land( actually North America) where they are assailed by unseen forces and dark visions. Shot entirely in Scotland, the title is derived from the combination of Kenneth Anger's films" Scorpio Rising" and" Lucifer Rising" with a Viking theme. While the film garnered generally positive reviews, it only made back a fraction – about$ 277,000 – of its$ 5.7 million production cost. <SEP> I Want Your Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film. Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews. The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons. The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively. <SEP> Joseph H.
