Michael Man (born 1943) is one of the most interesting directors of our time, whose work lies at the intersection of the mainstream cinema and the avant-garde, of public entertainment and private obsession. Throughout his career, Mann has moved freely between television and cinema: he produced 'Miami Vice' and 'Crime Story' - two of the most successful TV series of the 1980's - in addition to directing the historical epic 'The Last of the Mohican's (1992), the biopic 'Ali'(2001), and more recently the crime thriller 'Collateral (2004) and the gangster drama 'Public Enemies' (2009). Although varied in genre, Mann's films often share the same preoccupations and style: the depiction of solitary men in conflict with the society in which they live.
