Bennett Miller is an American director born in New York City, celebrated for restrained, meticulously researched dramas examining ambition, obsession, and American masculinity. Capote, a somber account of Truman Capote's controversial research into the murders that inspired In Cold Blood, earned Philip Seymour Hoffman an Academy Award and established Miller's patient, unhurried directorial style. Moneyball, following the Oakland Athletics' unconventional statistical approach to team-building, brought unusual intellectual seriousness to the sports-film genre, while Foxcatcher, a chilling account of the real relationship between wrestling brothers and a wealthy, unstable benefactor that ended in murder, won Miller the Best Director award at Cannes. Miller has directed relatively few features across a deliberately unhurried career, and his restrained, unsettling examination of American ambition and masculine dysfunction has made him one of the most respected serious dramatists in contemporary American cinema.
