  Adrian Lyne
British-born director Adrian Lyne "grew up" professionally in TV commercials, carrying over the quick-cut, hard-sell techniques of that specialized genre into his first film, Foxes (1980).
Alas, it failed to register at the box office, while Lyne's subsequent film, the spell-it-all-out Indecent Proposal (1993) made money by the basketful -- indicating perhaps that, whatever the future holds for Adrian Lyne, his choice of film subjects and manner of treatment will be governed less by his personal vision than by popular taste.
By this time no stranger to controversy, Lyne's 1997 interpretation of Lolita raised much public uproar with its intimate scenes between the then 15-year-old Dominique Swain and the considerably older Jeremy Irons (though a body double was used for the more questionable scenes).

 USATODAY.com - Director Adrian Lyne, faithful to sexual themes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Adrian Lyne is to sins of the flesh what Martin Scorsese is to crimes of the Mob.
Even his critics can't deny that Lyne has a talent for making his encounters seem sexy and not silly, as is often the case in movies by American directors, who tend to shy away from graphic intimacy.
Lyne's movies are usually released in the spring or fall, but 20th Century Fox is showing faith in Unfaithful by putting it up against such blockbusters as Spider-Man.

 Director Adrian Lyne Examines the Arbitrary Nature of Love in his new Film, Unfaithful
Adrian Lyne is far too quick to agree to a career label, no matter how hypothetical.
Through Lyne's lens, and what he likes to call "the small picture," audiences are allowed to peer in on the psychosexual nature of turn-of-the-millennium relationships.
As a result, says Lyne of the characters, "We end up hating the pimp and liking the whore." Beyond the titillation of anticipated sex, that description may be one reason audiences seemed willing to buy into the trick: A plot contingent on believing at the end that all the participants were innocent.

ADRIAN LYNE is the archetypal director who graduated from TV commercials to feature films.
Director Adrian Lyne was clearly hoping to duplicate the success of his earlier "Fatal Attraction," but that was a hit partly because of the unusual nature of Glenn Close's character, and accidental good timing.
The British-born director Adrian Lyne cut his teeth professionally in TV commercials and would later incorporate many of that genre's stylistic techniques into his films.

 Reel.com: Adrian Lyne
But, thanks to Trimark Films and Showtime Entertainment, some cities were treated to a theatrical release of Lyne's moving and nuanced adaptation of Lolita, and now the DVD and VHS are available everywhere.
Having recently completed an audio commentary for the Special Edition DVD release of Lolita, Adrian Lyne (in an exclusive Reel.com interview) discusses making the film, the troubles that ensued, why he thought he could build on what Kubrick had done previously, and some of the extra bonuses that can be found on the DVD.
Adrian Lyne: Well, Kubrick's film is much more about performance bravura by Peter Sellers as Quilty.

 Edward Copeland on Film: From the Vault: Adrian Lyne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Lyne, who was nominated for an Oscar for Fatal Attraction, has returned with his latest film, Jacob's Ladder.
Lyne said that on one level the film is a conventional psychological thriller and he wants the audience to share Jacob's hallucinations and suffering, though he realizes there is a danger of the audience getting "pissed off" by the ending.
Lyne was drawn to the film by Rubin's screenplay which "read like a novel." Lyne also liked the challenge of depicting a stairway to heaven.

 WAG: Adrian Lyne: A Filmography
Lyne's first effort, with early performances by Jodie Foster and Laura Dern as young California girls coming of age with little or no adult supervision.
It struck a chord in the dreamers of the world; for about a year, it was impossible to turn on MTV without seeing footage from the movie chopped up into several videos.
Lyne's original ending had Close successfully frame Douglas for her murder, but that was considered too much for audiences to take, so the current ending was tacked on in its place.

Directed by Adrian Lyne, this is not your average thriller, as it garnered six Academy Award nominations.
Lyne's Lolita has had a long fight to be seen.
In contrast to Sue Lyon of the Kubrick version, who, at fourteen, was elegant, balletic, and somewhat prim, Swain exudes sexuality-and plays her role with abandon.

 dOc DVD Review: The Directors: Adrian Lyne (1999)
Adrian Lyne took up the task and produced arguably one of the most thought-provoking supernatural horror films ever made, certainly one of the most critically divisive.
Lyne himself takes up most of the time with his own comments, obviously coming across with that same sense of passion about his work.
Since Adrian Lyne's film career spans 7 movies, information on all of them packs into the hour, but it does so very tightly.

 SPLICEDwire | "Unfaithful" review (2002) Adrian Lyne, Richard Gere, Diane Lane
The suburban New York couple, played by Diane Lane and Richard Gere, whose marriage has come unglued because of the wife's fling with a seductive young Lothario, realize as their eyes meet across a crowded gathering at their home that they both know each other's worst secret and they could be dangerous to one other.
At this moment, director Adrian Lyne has a chance to twist "Unfaithful" into a subtle psychological puzzle, a game of trust and mistrust.
The characters are unsympathetic, foolish and terribly transparent liars (especially when the plot calls for the police to enter the picture), and Lyne offers no clues to why Lane feels bored in her life as a happy wife and mom.

Director Adrian Lyne sparks our interest and maintains high production values, but this confusing film chokes on its "surprise" ending.
Director Adrian Lynne wisely avoided some of the more sacharrine touches that Rubin had in the original script (such as the view of "Heaven") and added many subtle disturbing elements of his own.

Lyne first established himself on the international scene with FLASHDANCE (1983) and scored a huge box-office hit with FATAL ATTRACTION (1987).
Since then, Lyne has been one of the most prominent directors of mainstream hits.
Lyne then scored another hit with INDECENT PROPOSAL (1993), which stirred a minor controversy with its story about a high-rolling gambler (Robert Redford) who offers $1 million to spend one night with another man's wife (played by Demi Moore).

If you thought Adrian Lyne only made glossy and sexually provocative movies like Flashdance and 9 1/2 Weeks, this hour-long profile of the British-born filmmaker will give you a new appreciation of Lyne's work and his consistently intelligent approach to making movies.
Described by Lolita costar Frank Langella as "manipulative" in the best sense of that word, Lyne proves to be an engaging and eloquent host to this overview of his films, which (with the possible exception of Flashdance) have all been products of a singular passion to provoke and inspire discussion.
Woody Harrelson, Tim Robbins, Anne Archer, and studio executive Sherry Lansing are among those who offer their views on the qualities that make Lyne's films unique, but it's Lyne himself who is most illuminating.

 Adrian Lyne
As notably in the case of Hitchcock’s Suspicion, this alteration is merely another way of putting it.
Lyne has genius, unmistakably, and you can see it if nowhere else in the performance of Ellen Hamilton Latzen as the young daughter.
There is a great deal of mickey in this tale (which, as I say, the critics took at face value), and Lyne greatly mickies up the production with stylized camera movements and like bizarrerie.

 Lycos Movies - Celebrity - Adrian Lyne
Flashy film stylist Adrian Lyne began as a successful director of British TV commercials and short films before making his first feature, "Foxes" (1980), a dark gritty look at four young girls growing up fast in the San Fernando Valley.
He scored a huge hit with "Flashdance" (1983)--dismissed by some as an extended rock-video with breaks for dialogue--proving such a musical could still be commercially viable.
Though "9 1/2 Weeks" (1986) and "Fatal Attraction" (1987) elicited charges of misogyny (their stylish editing and glamorous imagery made emotional and physical violence towards women look attractive and justified), the latter solidified Lyne's reputation as a bankable director, doing incredible...
