Ali Abbasi

Director

Iranian-born, naturalized Danish film director known for Border and The Apprentice.

Directed Border (2018), an adaptation of a story by John Ajvide Lindqvist, filmed/made in Sweden. Directed The Apprentice, a film about Donald Trump and his relationship with lawyer Roy Cohn; performances noted include Sebastian Stan (Trump) and Jeremy Strong (Roy Cohn).

Two positive DeBaser reviews praise Ali Abbasi's command of genre: a Nordic horror adaptation (Border) and a political biopic (The Apprentice). Reviewers note strong performances and provocative subject matter. The coverage is admiring and politically engaged.

For:Viewers interested in political cinema, biopics, Nordic horror and arthouse audiences.

 I considered it a good and right thing to see the work created by Ali Abbasi, an Iranian director naturalized Danish.
