Jon Amiel

Jon Amiel is one of cinema's great chameleons, and I mean that as praise. From the BAFTA-nominated The Singing Detective to Sommersby, Copycat, Entrapment, the gleefully absurd The Core, and the contemplative Creation, he refuses to be pinned to a single genre. Critics sometimes read that range as a lack of signature, but I see a Cambridge-trained craftsman who simply enjoys solving different problems. I find his willingness to swing from intimate drama to disaster spectacle genuinely refreshing.
