Curtis Hanson is an American director and producer. After entering the Directors Guild he made one thriller after the other – his favourite genre. Amongst his hits are The Bedroom Window (1987), Bad Influence (1990), The River Wild (1994) and L.A. Confidential (1997), nominated for nine Academy Awards. With 8 Mile, Hanson changed his tune in order to depict “an empoverished America that strives to survive in poor neighborhoods”.
