Brian Morris (born July 3, 1939 in Lancashire , United Kingdom ) is a British film architect .
Live and act
Born in Lancashire, Morris studied theater design at the Central School of Art and Crafts in Manchester and then went on to work as a set designer for the Shakespeare Society in Stratford-upon-Avon . He then worked for four years as a production designer for television films. In 1972, Morris made his film debut as a film architect.
Since the late 1970s, Brian Morris designed the buildings for a number of extraordinary productions by ambitious directors, including John Schlesinger , Alan Parker , Chris Menges , Adrian Lyne , Jean-Jacques Annaud , Sydney Pollack and Louis Malle . In addition to several films in which the music or the work of music artists was in the foreground (" That'll be the Day", "Stardust", " Pink Floyd - The Wall ", " The Commitments ", " Evita ") are among his The most remarkable works include the stone age film without dialogue “ In the beginning was the fire ”, the mystical good-versus-bad allegory “ Angel Heart ”, the hallucinatory roller coaster ride “ Jacob's Ladder - In the violence of the hereafter ” and the one played in “elevated circles” social satire " Wellville ". In 1997 he received an Oscar nomination for his film architecture in " Evita "
"Brian Morris' oeuvre shows an unusually large variety of forms; the Briton constructed dark, symbol-laden nightmare worlds postmodern with the same enthusiasm for storytelling, as well as historically precise and well-groomed plush ambience of home-style homeliness." In 2002, Morris was brought in for the extensive structures for the classic pirate film " Pirates of the Caribbean " with Johnny Depp ; it was to be his greatest commercial success. Since then he has gradually reduced his work intensity.
