Oren Moverman doesn't suffer fools. And he doesn't kowtow to Hollywood suits. So he has managed by sheer stubbornness to fashion a rather remarkable body of work. His films are lean, organic, and anchored in the real world. They embrace both its ugliness and beauty, from the films he has written ("I'm Not There," co-written with Todd Haynes, "Married Life" with Ira Sachs, and Alison Maclean's "Jesus's Son") to the ones he directed starring Woody Harrelson, military drama "The Messenger," for which he earned an original Screenplay Oscar nomination, and hardboiled Los Angeles police story "Rampart." This year he wrote Bill Pohlad's Brian Wilson biopic "Love & Mercy" and wrote and directed "Time Out of Mind," starring Richard Gere as a homeless New Yorker, which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last September. And he's helping to foster Israeli talent as well. He produced a movie with Joseph.
