	Director Neil Jordan grapples with the new Ireland - Boston.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Jordan says he feels like a stranger in the booming "Celtic Tiger" economy and hardly knows what to make of the cultural landscape with the fading of the centuries old "troubles" now that the Irish Republican Army has scrapped its weapons.
		That is what drew Jordan to adapt the novel by compatriot Patrick McCabe, despite superficial similarities to "The Crying Game," a thriller which won Jordan an Oscar for best screenplay and involved the IRA and a transvestite in a central role.
		The 55-year-old Jordan even admitted he had tried his hand at capturing the new Ireland but was not sure he would go forward with the project.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Interview: Neil Jordan
		Jordan leaps up and down several times in search of cups of tea and passages from Nabokov before settling down to talk about Shade, the first novel he has written in 10 years.
		Jordan describes Shade as 'a gothic novel of a kind'; it echoes his preoccupation elsewhere with the irrational, the numinousness of things.
		Here, he says: 'I came up with the idea of a woman who, when she was a child, had this presence in her life, almost like a guardian angel, and an image, an outline of the clothes she was wearing, which she doesn't recognise, and when she's murdered she realises it was herself.

	Interview with Neil Jordan
		Like "Ocean's 11," Neil Jordan's "The Good Thief" is also a free spirited remake (Jean-Pierre Melville's "Bob Le Flambeur," 1955) about a gambling wise guy who plans a casino heist with a cast of shady, eccentric characters.
		Jordan crowns the story by insinuating sexy and talented, young new comer Nutsa Kukhiani throughout the planning and execution of the score.
		Jordan said that there are many young women from Eastern European countries in Paris and Nice that are in her type of situation.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Good Thief" review (2003) Neil Jordan, Nick Nolte, Tcheky Karyo
		But Jordan's commentary track is a good listen if you've seen the film two or three times and know some of its nuances.
		Bob and his reassembled crew of eccentric felons are after the originals -- secured in the laser-alarmed vault basement of a virtual fortress across the street -- which the casino would never report stolen because that would expose the joint's decorative finery, designed to lure an elite class of gambler, as counterfeit.
		Jordan ("The Crying Game," "Interview With the Vampire," "The End of the Affair") moves the story along at a very quick clip (don't leave to get popcorn, you'll never catch up) yet maintains a narrative haziness indicative of Bob's still drug-addled mind.

		Jordan's narrator weaves the tale of how she was murdered
		The matrix of the book is her relationships with George, who adores her to death (literally), and with Gregory, whom she first meets when both are entering adolescence.
		Cut through Jordan's occasionally purple prose and tricky, distracting temporal shifts, and you'll discern that those relationships are the fascinating and provocative heart of a book that ultimately wins you over.

		Elements of whimsy, fantasy, surprise and horror are common in Jordan's films, even in the political thrillers which stand as some of his finest efforts.
		At its best, his is a provocative cinema, which, though not as experimental as some would have it, nonetheless combines a stylistic freshness with pensive philosophical, social and sexual dimensions.
		Jordan returned in triumph to Hollywood, where he landed the plum, if daunting, assignment of adapting Anne Rice's tricky bestseller, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE: THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES, to the screen.

	Cinequest VI - Neil Jordan
		Jordan's next conquest was as screenwriter for another 1981 film, Traveler, and then three years later, he was given his chance to direct a film titled Danny Boy (starring Stephen Rea, an actor who would appear in quite a few of Jordan's later films).
		Jordan's rising notoriety as a marquee director finally gave him his first Oscar nominations in 1992 for The Crying Game for both Best original screenplay and Best Achievement in Directing, which should also have had a special nomination for the film with the best-kept secret.
		It's obvious throughout Neil Jordan's work that he's a director who trusts in the power of fantasy to make our realities that much more bearable.

	Boxoffice Magazine Here Comes Mr. Jordan, Filmmaker Neil Jordan Directs an 'Affair' to Remember (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The twelfth movie Jordan has directed, it is based on a novel by Graham Greene, an author who was also reluctant about many things, including having his books turned into movies, although, ironically, he was himself at one time during the 1930s a film reviewer.
		It was an era which broke down a huge number of barriers, and I think we've created a beautiful portrait of wartime." Jordan begins to describe the style of the film, much of which takes place during rain or at night, or both.
		Jordan, who used to write novels and thinks he'd like to take time soon to do so again, was born in Sligo and prefers to remain in Ireland where he has a home in Dublin as well as the one in Cork.

		Jordan, 49, who's written novels and short stories, as well as the scripts for most of his films, prides himself on essential storytelling skills.
		Jordan has shown, since his second feature, "The Company of Wolves," a fondness for the most elemental kind of storytelling, the fairy tale.
		Jordan's stroke of inspiration is to make a single bedroom, inhabited under the cloak of the flout, stand in for all the bedrooms at that time.

		A heartfelt epic from Irish director Neal Jordan (The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire), Michael Collins is the biography of the charismatic and controversial Irish rebel leader who led the fight for independence from Britain.
		Irish writer-director Neil Jordan followed up his surprise hit The Crying Game with this controversial biography of IRA leader Michael Collins (Liam Neeson), one of the most important political leaders of the 20th century.

	Interview With The Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles
		A respected screenwriter-director, Neil Jordan first established himself as an author of moody, turbulent short stories and novels dealing with passion, sexuality and the changes of the last generation in his native Ireland.
		More impressively, the film proved thematically consistent with Jordan's earlier work, which frequently explores themes Jordan describes as "...impossible passion and, especially, the violence of emotion." In 1996, Jordan returned to Ireland to shoot his next film, Michael Collins, a cherished project for which he had spent more than a decade developing the script.
		Many were put off by the boy's visions of the Virgin Mary as a scatological figure (that she was portrayed by singer Sinead O'Connor -- who was noted for her own "issues" with the Catholic Church -- added another layer to the notoriety).

		But lulling an audience into a false sense of security is a hobby for writer/director Neil Jordan, who won the Oscar for his "Crying Game" screenplay, as well as being nominated for 'Best Director'.
		In fact, intially, there was more pressure on Jordan to follow in the footsteps of his mother and two sisters and become a painter.
		More recently, Jordan's movies have got even darker, with such films as the chilling thriller "In Dreams" (1998) and "The Butcher Boy" (1997) an adaptation of Patrick McCabe's gruesome novel.

		Sitting on a patio earlier this week with Irish filmmaker and novelist Neil Jordan, it was hard not to feel caught up in something of a performing arts maelstrom.
		Thanks to the previous evening’s American Music Awards, the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills was rife with pop stars who, as Jordan put it, all had enormous cigars, imposing bodyguards and were omnipresent in the elevator ever since his arrival in Los Angeles the previous day.
		Meanwhile, Jordan himself has recently completed a new movie, Breakfast on Pluto, a new novel, Shade, and is currently working with U2’s Bono and the Edge to fashion the contents of a Broadway musical adaptation of Spider-Man.
