Award-winning film director Paulus Henriqus Benedictus "Paul" Cox (born 16 April 1940) is widely recognized as 'Australia’s most prolific film auteur'. "Cox’s delicate films have been pockmarked with life’s uncertainty. Loneliness within relationships is a staple of the Cox oeuvre, too". David Wenham states, “There is no one like Cox ... He is unique, and we need him, and people like him...He is completely an auteur, because everything you see on the screen, and hear, has got Paul’s fingerprints all over it." ==Career== Cox was born in Venlo, Limburg, the Netherlands, the son of Else (née Kuminack), a native of Germany, and Wim Cox, a documentary film producer.〔(filmreference.com )〕〔(aso.gov.au )〕 Cox emigrated to Australia in 1965, by which time he had already established a reputation as a photographer.〔Tom Ryan, "Making Silence Speak: Interview with Paul Cox", ''Cinema Papers'', July 1977 p16-19, 94〕 His teaching at Prahran College of Advanced Education in the 1970s with Athol Shmith and John Cato〔about whom Cox co-edited a biography 〕 influenced a number of photographers and filmmakers, including Carol Jerrems and Bill Henson. He has collaborated with a number of screenwriters including John Clarke and Bob Ellis. He published ''Reflections: An Autobiographical Journey'' in 1998. His film-essay ''The Remarkable Mr. Kaye'' (2005) is a portrait of his ill friend, the actor Norman Kaye, who appeared in numerous Cox films, such as ''Lonely Hearts'' and ''Man of Flowers''. On 26 December 2009 he received a liver transplant. David Bradbury's 2012 documentary, ''On Borrowed Time'', tells this story against the backdrop of his life and work, through interviews with Cox and his friends and colleagues.〔(On borrowed time: David Bradbury shares intimate portrait of friend and filmmaker )〕 Cox has also written a memoir, ''Tales from the Cancer Ward''. Rosie Igusti, a fellow transplant recipient he met there, is now his partner.〔Philippa Hawker, "Comebacks", ''The Age'', 16 April 2011, Life&Style, p. 12〕 Cox latest film ''Force of Destiny'', with David Wenham and Indian actress Shahana Goswami is set for release in late 2015. Wenham plays a sculptor and transplant patient who falls in love with a patient he meets in the hospital ward.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theweeklyreview.com.au/well-read/interviews/1836211-paul-cox-force-of-life/#.VTtX4FLXfCQbmb=1 )〕 Cox was named in Phillip Adams List of 100 National treasures in April 2015 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Cox」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
