John Mackenzie (director)
John Mackenzie (22 May 1928 – 8 June 2011), known as "Frenzy Mackenzie", was a British film director. Born in Edinburgh, he worked in British film from the late 1960s, first as an assistant director and later as an independent director himself. He has been described by critics as "a solid and reliable filmmaker with... frequent flairs of brilliance", but despite tackling such topics as the Hiberno-British struggle, or the assassination of John F. Kennedy he was generally not thought of as a political filmmaker. Rather, Mackenzie focused more frequently on narrative, character and plot.
