George Hughes

Tagline: George Hughes: Master of the Dark Comedy

Born in 1957 in the bustling city of Melbourne, Australia, George Hughes began his iconic career as a movie director in the early 1980s. Best known for his quirky dark comedies such as "Twisted Shadows" and "Laughing at the Abyss", Hughes won the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for his unique narrative style and unforgettable characters. His films, although often set within the shadows of life, somehow always manage to find the humor in the darkness, marking Hughes as a true artist of the macabre comedy genre. Off the screen, Hughes is just as eccentric and witty as his films, a man whose laughter echoes louder than his words, revealing the true depth of his spirit.
