Guy Ritchie: Difference between revisions

'''Guy Ritchie''' (born 1968) is a British film director and screenwriter, also known for his former marriage to [[Madonna]].

His first film, ''[[Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels]]'' was a low-budget, humorous crime caper about the London underworld. It was an indie success and critical darling for its fresh, vibrant style. He followed up with ''[[Snatch]]'', which was an even bigger success, though some critics complained that he was rehashing his previous film too much. Next, he made ''[[Swept Away]]'', a remake of a controversial 1970s Italian film, starring his then-wife Madonna. ''Swept Away'' was savaged by critics, and bombed at the box office. When he returned to familiar territory with the crime caper ''[[Revolver]]'', he tried to mix things up with a an [[Evil Plan]] and an [[Anvilicious]] [[Aesop]]. The film was so poorly received that it didn't even see wide release in America. Ritchie then made ''[[Rock N RollaRocknRolla]]'' in an obvious attempt to recapture the violent and irreverent underworld hijinks of his first two films. It was recieved better than ''Revolver'', but wasn't really a success. He seemed to be approaching the nadir, but his adaptation of ''[[Sherlock Holmes (film)|Sherlock Holmes]]'' appears to have [[Career Resurrection|revived his fortunes]]; it recieved mostly positive reviews, and was successful at the box office, grossing more than all of his previous films combined.
