The A To Z Of Michael Mann Public Enemies sees the return of Michael Mann with a typically stylish and finely-detailed gangster epic . To mark its release we've embarked an alphabetic jaunt through the tropes and traits that make him one of cinema's true auteurs. Welcome to Mikepedia.
Michael Mann cut his teeth in adland during the Sixties, although, like peers Ridley Scott and Alan Parker, he worked in London rather than Madison Ave. Inspired by Pabst and Kubrick, the Chicago-born director attended London Film School and stayed in the Big Smoke to put what he learnt into use in a commercial context. He’s returned to commercials regularly since, stressing that it’s the idea, not the medium, that sparks his interest: “A two-hour movie and a spot - I don’t make a distinction.” Don’t believe him? Check out Lucky Star (see left), the 2002 faux-trailer he made for Mercedes. With a guest appearance from his Drug Wars star Benicio Del Toro, buffed-up dialogue and enough noirish cityscapes to keep the die-hard happy, it’s pure Mann.

Not a big fan of the Mann, whilst Heat, Collateral, The Insider & Manhunter are all great, Ali, Miami Vice (whichis a terrible, terrible movie) and Public Enemies really aren't all that, they are slow, dull and unfufilling. All well made, but just not all that great. Read More
