Lee Hall

    Lee Hall je anglický dramatik a scenárista, jehož díla se vyznačují hlubokým porozuměním lidské povaze a společenským vrstvám. Jeho psaní často zkoumá témata naděje, odolnosti a hledání vlastního místa ve světě, zasazené do realistického, často drsného prostředí. Prostřednictvím silných postav a poutavých dialogů dokáže Hall zachytit esenci obyčejných životů a povýšit je na univerzální příběhy. Jeho jedinečný styl přináší do literatury autenticitu a silný emocionální dopad.

      Set in northern England during the 1984 miner's strike, "Billy Elliot" tells the story of a young working class boy who chooses not to follow his widowed father's instructions to train to be a boxer. Instead, fascinated by the ballet class sharing the same building as his gym, Billy hangs up his gloves to pursue dreams of being a dancer. But even as he discovers his virtuoso gift for ballet he must hide his triumph from his father and brother -- both miners on strike struggling to keep food on the table. A hit at last years Cannes Film Festival and a smash success in the UK just one week into its premiere, "Billy Elliot" is being hailed as one of the best films of the year.
