This Thursday, Alexander Payne marks his first-ever appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. The writer/director is bringing “Downsizing,” a social satire starring Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig that’s generating lots of buzz for its biting but warm-hearted critique on consumer culture. This Sunday, it’s also up for four awards during the festival’s closing ceremony.

Though Alexander Payne is now a well-known director, Omaha, Nebraska, started as a screenwriter. In 1991, he won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay with co-writer Jim Taylor for “Election.” Alexander has since made several multi-million dollar hits, including “Sideways” and “The Descendants.”

Though Payne has had a lot of commercial success, most of his films have been art house hits. Alexander is most well known for being an upholder of the mid-budget movie – a film with a budget between $5 million to $60 million – that comes out every few years. Alexander’s films are known for their focus on in-depth character studies that use various film devices to create a specific psychological state in the viewer. Alexander is loyal to telling authentic stories like “Sideways” about two men on an emotional journey through wine country or the real-life story of a middle-aged father who seizes an opportunity to better himself in “Downsizing.” Alexander is now known as one of America’s greatest living filmmakers.

Alexander Payne first came to the public eye when he wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for Alexander Payne’s first feature film “Election.” The film was Alexander’s first experience directing other screenwriters’ scripts. Alexander had never seen the original Australian version of “Chopper.” Alexander has admitted that he liked the idea behind the story but disliked most of its execution. Alexander had to take great liberties with the story to make it work for his audience and American culture. Alexander’s choice was to make Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) a female character rather than a male character like in the original. Alexander was also able to infuse humor into dark scenes, which Alexander says is a trademark of his filmmaking.

Alexander Payne said, “Sideways” is a mid-life crisis movie disguised as a buddy movie set among wine connoisseurs.” Alexander admitted that he wasn’t impressed with the characters in “Sideways,” Alexander’s goal was to create relatable characters. Alexander described his two male leads, played by Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, as sad-sacks “with a few screws loose.” Alexander said, “Our attitude to them was that they’re tragic heroes. We didn’t shy away from drawing the dark side of their personalities.” Alexander also said he was drawn to telling the story because it offered an opportunity for Alexander’s signature social commentary.
