“Marlowe”the latest work by Neil Jordan, will close the Official Section of the 70th San Sebastian Film Festival with the presence of the Irish director and the actors Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger, who lead a cast that also includes Jessica Lange.
The film, which will be screened as a world premiere out of competition after the closing ceremony on September 24, is based on the novel “The Black-Eyed Blonde”, written by the Irishman John Banville based on the immortal detective created by the author American Raymond Chandler nearly 90 years ago.

“Interview with the Vampire” (1994), “Michael Collins” (1996), which won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and “Countercurrent (1997), which won the Silver Bear for best direction in the Berlinale, are part of his filmography.
