English theatre, film and television director; former Artistic Director of the National Theatre (1987–1997).

Born 1943; knighted (Sir Richard Eyre). Directed films including Iris (2001) and Notes on a Scandal (Diario di uno scandalo, 2006).

The available review analyzes Eyre's adaptation of Zoe Heller's novel, focusing on the scandal between Sheba Hart and Barbara. Eyre emphasizes introspective character study over moralizing. The critic praises the intimate camera work and especially the performances by Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench. The film is presented as a study of guilt, confession and societal reaction.

For:film enthusiasts, students of film and adaptation, fans of Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench

 It is undeniable that Eyre would never have managed to create such a work without the support of two world cinema deities: Cate Blanchett (Sheba) and Judi Dench (Barbara).
