Today’s the Shattered Lens wishes a happy 82nd birthday to the British director, Adrian Lyne!  Lyne was one of the many British director to start his career by making commercials.  (Alan Parker and Tony and Ridley Scott also followed a same career path.)  He brought the same technique that inspired people to buy products to his films and the enf result was some of the most stylish films of the 80s, 90s, and the aughts.  Lyne hasn’t directed many films but his lasting influence cannot be denied.
