Michael Mann

Michael Mann was born in Chicago in 1943 and studied English literature at the University of Wisconsin before writing for television in the seventies, notably episodes of crime series. He works from documentation, spending time with serving police officers and former burglars, and took as his adviser a novelist who came from that world. He shot his first feature film for the cinema in 1981, wrote most of his screenplays, produced his films and series, and in 2022 published, with Meg Gardiner, a book that extends one of them.
