Miguel Courtois

Miguel Courtois, the visceral storyteller of contemporary tales. Born in 1960 in Paris, France, Courtois has been actively directing films from the 1990s, predominantly in the thriller and drama genres. His most famous works include "GAL" (2006) and "El Lobo" (2004), both of which delve into the complex realities of Spanish political history, although they haven't garnered him any significant awards at major film festivals.
