Encyclopedic overview
Abel Ferrara ( Italian: [ferˈraːɾa]; born July 19, 1951) is an American filmmaker and actor. He is best known for the provocative and often controversial content in his movies and his use and redefinition of neo-noir imagery. A long-time independent filmmaker, some of his best known movies include the New York-set, gritty crime thrillers The Driller Killer (1979), Ms .45 (1981), King of New York (1990), Bad Lieutenant (1992), and The Funeral (1996), chronicling violent crime in urban settings with spiritual overtones.
Ferrara has worked in a wide array of genres, including the sci-fi adaptation Body Snatchers (1993), cyberpunk thriller New Rose Hotel (1998), the religious drama Mary (2005), the black comedy Go Go Tales (2007), and the biopic Pasolini (2014), as well as several documentary filmmaking projects.
