Andrew Dominik is an Australian director best known for the film Chopper. Chopper is an Australian 2000 drama-crime thriller-black comedy film written and directed by Andrew Dominik based on the autobiographical books by Mark Brandon Chopper Read, an infamous Australian criminal, convicted for wounding a man, admitting to murder many. ...
Writer-director AndrewDominik's debut Chopper is a notable reflection on crime, fame, and the public fascination with crime figures.
Rather than a straight start-to-finish biopic, Dominik opts to start Read's story in 1976, when Read is already serving time on a kidnapping charge.
Dominik juxtaposes this persona with the grim despair of Read's actual circumstances, relying heavily on lighting, colors and camera effects to convey the alternating moments of bleakness and chaos that define this film.
