Bille August (November 9th, 1948, Brede, Denmark)
Bille August (born November 9, 1948) is a Danish film and television director.
Most of his projects have been in co-operation with Swedish production and with a mainly Swedish cast.
He was partially educated in Sweden and also married to Swedish actress Pernilla August from 1991 to 1997. His film Pelle the Conqueror from 1987 won both the Palme D’or, Academy Award and Golden Globe.
He is one of the very few directors to win the Palme D’or twice, winning the prestigious award again in 1991 for The Best Intentions, based on the autobiographical script by Ingmar Bergman.
“If you work on a big international film, you have 30, 40 cars plus . . . I mean, it's crazy. So you can't improvise, you cannot suddenly do something that comes to mind, whereas in a small production you have much more flexibility. But the star-system is quite interesting. I like both ways.”
He later went to Hollywood, directing several films, but so far none have been as successful as his early work. —Wikipedia
