Álex de la Iglesia

A spanish cult director, author of Day of the Beast (The Day of the Beast (1995)) and Mutant Action (1993) have their own very strong but small followings, and Dance With the Devil (Dance with the Devil (1997)) will go down in history as probably the weirdest Javier Bardem film ever made (it was released in the US only a few years before Before Night Falls (2000)). Belongs to the "unofficial" new generation of Hispanic filmmakers which includes Guillermo del Toro (Mexican), Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Mexican), Alfonso Cuarón (Mexican) and Robert Rodriguez (American).
