Richard Loncraine
- Director

Richard Loncraine has earned great acclaim for his work in
film, television and commercials. He studied sculpture at the Central
School of Art before attending the Royal College of Art Film School. He
spent three years working for the BBC before moving into commercials.
Since those days he has successfully alternated directing films with
directing television productions, and the sheer range of his work
cannot fail to impress--from Dennis Potter (Blade on the Feather (1980),
Brimstone & Treacle (1982)) to period comedy (The Missionary (1982)) and from Cơn bão đang tới (2002) (universally acknowledged as the finest representation
of Winston Churchill on screen for years) to the romantic charm of
Mũi Tên Gãy (2004). No wonder Loncraine is now one of the most respected
British directors.
