Walter Hill

The relentless architect of raw, gritty action cinema, Walter Hill, was born in 1942 in Long Beach, California, USA. With a career spanning over four decades, from the 1970s to the 2010s, Hill made his mark in the genres of action, western, and crime, with his most famous films including "The Warriors," "48 Hours," and "Streets of Fire". Despite no awards at major film festivals, his works are characterized by stylized violence, terse dialogue, and a unique blend of neo-noir and comic book aesthetics. Behind the macho veneer, Walter Hill is a cinematic poet in disguise, painting the underbelly of American society with a grimy, yet oddly vibrant palette.
