Adrian Lyne is a Director and Producer British born on 4 march 1941 at Peterborough (United-kingdom)
Adrian Lyne (born 4 March 1941 in Peterborough, then in Northamptonshire, England) is an English filmmaker and producer. He is best known for directing films that focus on sexually charged characters and often uses natural light, a fog machine and other effects to create eroticized atmospheres.
He began working in film after a number of television commercials, as did several other British directors of his generation. Lyne directed the music video for "Maniac", the theme song from Flashdance written by Michael Sembello. He received a nomination for Academy Award for Best Director in 1988 for Fatal Attraction.
Lyne has been relatively inactive since the turn of the century, only working on one significant project — Unfaithful, which he also produced.
In 2011, it was announced that his next project would be Back Roads, based on the novel of the same name by Tawni O'Dell.
Il fait ses études à la Highgate School. Dans les années 1970, il tourne ensuite ses premiers courts métrages, The Table et Mr. Smith, inspiré par la Nouvelle Vague. Il réalise également de nombreux spots publicitaires.
En 1980, sort son premier long-métrage comme réalisateur, Ça plane les filles (Foxes). Le film brosse un portrait de quatre adolescentes sur fond de sexe, drogue et autorité parentale. On y retrouve notamment Laura Dern et Jodie Foster.
En 1983, il accède à la notoriété en réalisant Flashdance, qui est un énorme succès mondial. En 1986, il change de registre avec un film torride à l'esthétique raffinée : 9 semaines 1/2 avec Kim Basinger et Mickey Rourke. Il enchaîne avec le thriller Liaison fatale, avec Michael Douglas et Glenn Close. Nouveau succès, le film décroche six nominations aux Oscars 1988 (meilleur film, meilleure actrice, meilleure actrice dans un second rôle, meilleur scénario adapté et meilleur montage).
En 1990, il rencontre un premier échec commercial avec L'Échelle de Jacob, une œuvre fantastique plus personnelle sur les cauchemars et hallucinations d'un ancien combattant du Viêt Nam incarné par Tim Robbins. Adrian Lyne revient alors à son genre de prédilection, les histoires d'amour sulfureuses, avec Proposition indécente en 1993. Il y dirige notamment Robert Redford et Demi Moore.
En 1997, il adapte le roman Lolita de Vladimir Nabokov. Mais le film reçoit les foudres de la censure qui oblige de nombreuses coupes notamment pour les scènes d'amour entre Jeremy Irons et l'adolescente Dominique Swain. En 2002, il signe le remake de La Femme infidèle (1969) de Claude Chabrol, intitulé Infidèle.
En 2012, il revient avec le projet Back Roads, d'après le roman Le Temps de la colère de Tawni O'Dell.
En 2019, il annonce que son prochain film sera de nouveau un thriller érotique intitulé Deep Water avec Ben Affleck et Ana de Armas dans les rôles principaux.
