Question: Do both films Violet & Daisy and Manhunter (film) have the directors that share the same nationality?

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> Fletcher is the screenwriter of" Precious" and received an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on March 7, 2010.

Also featured are Tom Noonan as serial killer Francis Dollarhyde, Dennis Farina as Graham's FBI superior Jack Crawford, and Brian Cox as incarcerated killer Hannibal Lecktor. The film focuses on Graham coming out of retirement to lend his talents to an investigation on Dollarhyde, a killer known as the" Tooth Fairy". In doing so, he must confront the demons of his past and meet with Lecktor, who nearly counted Graham among his victims. " Manhunter" focuses on the forensic work carried out by the FBI to track down killers and shows the long- term effects that cases like this have on profilers such as Graham, highlighting the similarities between him and his quarry. The film features heavily stylized use of color to convey this sense of duality, and the nature of the characters' similarity has been explored in academic readings of the film. Written and directed by Michael Mann, it stars William Petersen as FBI profiler Will Graham. It was the first film adaptation of Harris'" Hannibal Lecter" novels, as well as the first adaptation of" Red Dragon", which later became the basis for a film of the same name in 2002. Opening to mixed reviews," Manhunter" fared poorly at the box office at the time of its release, making only$ 8.6 million in the United States. However, it has been reappraised in more recent reviews and now enjoys a more favorable reception, as both the acting and the stylized visuals have been appreciated better in later years. Its resurgent popularity, which may be due to later adaptations of Harris' books and Petersen's success in, has seen it labelled as a cult film. <SEP> Jack Shea (August 1, 1928 – April 28, 2013) was an American film and television director.
