Kiwi-born and Aussie-raised Andrew Dominik sees his second feature starring Brad Pitt, Killing Them Softly (aka Cogan’s Trade) selected in competition for the Palme d’Or.
Dominik is best-known for his debut feature which he also wrote, Chopper, and wrote and directed The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. He also adapted The Killer Inside Me from Jim Thompson’s novel and was supposed to direct, but left the project. It was eventually directed by Michael Winterbottom and nominated for Berlin’s Golden Bear but ended up winning only a Razzie.
