Paul Greengrass

English writer and film director (born 1955)

Paul Greengrass belongs to the record of literature as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

The record lists Paul Greengrass as English writer and film director (born 1955).

Paul Greengrass was born at Cheam in 1955. His recorded nationality is the United Kingdom. He was educated at Queens' College and Sevenoaks School.

The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.

He worked as film director, screenwriter and writer.

Literature is judged by re-reading, which is a slower and harsher test than acclaim.

Recognition followed: BAFTA Award for Best Direction (2007).

That the work was done from the United Kingdom matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.

Paul Greengrass is still at work, and the final assessment has not been made - the ordinary condition of a living career.
